I have been using a big padded fancy office chair at home, and it simply was to big for me and my wife. This chair is pretty small, but perfect for me at 64. Lots of support for the lower back, and the cloth seats mean I wont slide down the seat and get out of posture. Arms fold up so it seats easily into my small desk area, out the way. Any bigger, and I cannot push my chair in. Definitely a good purchase. May get one for work, if my job wont purchase it for me. I have a fancy chair their also, just not functional and comfortable.
