This chair was a great compromise between my fiance and me. It's comfortable, and not "too girly" for his liking, but it is also more fashionable than a regular black office chair. A lot of reviews mentioned it was really difficult to put together, but we were able to do it very quickly without any issues. The only complaint I have is while the legs of the chair are a sturdy metal, there is a piece where the shaft meets the legs where it's a silver plastic and pieces of it broke off when we put it together, and other small pieces were already broken when we opened the box. Functionally, I haven't noticed that it takes away from the chair, but it bothers me knowing there's a really cheap plastic piece at the bottom where all the legs come together. I'm not sure why the manufacturer wouldn't have made everything out of the sturdy metal.
