This chair is amazing!!  Pleasantly surprised the seat cushion is soft but firm enough to sit at my desk many hours without discomfort. It rolls, turns, and adjusts very easily. I actually like to sit Indian style in my chair for a change of position and it is wide enough for that even! The arms lift with ease.. one down.. one up , whatever suits you. I have the lightest shade.. as well as boys. Something got on the fabric and I simply took a damp cloth and wiped it off. No discoloration or stain. Definitely worth the buy!!
