Comfortable enough for daily use at my desk. When I took it out if the box I was unsure if it would be durable or comfortable enough. Fir the price im happy on both counts. My work space is small and integrated into my main living area so footprint and style were factors in my purchase. There will likely be a better suited desk chair in my future but I expect this to last for several years. My only criticism is that the lever to raise and lower the seat feels cheap, and although I assembled it per the instructions the mechanism doesnt function. Fortunately it assembles at a good height for an average person. Im 56 and sit comfortably at my workspace
