I bought this as an office chair to go along with my black writing desk. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. The design is sleek, it was very reasonably priced, and the cushioned seat is comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the iron slats on the back of the chair start to hurt my back after several hours To be fair, I doubt this chair was designed to be sat in that long. It would make a great dining chair though.
