This chair is comfortable but not was tall as I'd hope it would be due to my tall home office desk.  For some reason it doesn't go up as high as my previous chair use to. I am a big woman and the previous chair had tons of padding and I loved it. This chair doesn't seem to have too much padding but even-though this is the case the chair itself is pretty comfortable and it doesn't give me a back or bottom ache towards the end of the day after sitting for hours. I would recommend it only because it was pretty affordable and comfortable, but if you are seeking for a high end long lasting chair this might not be the chair for you. I can tell that it will do its job but not for too long. The material is sturdy so you don't have to worry about the chair being wobbly and the look of it seems well enough for a home office, but its not an executive looking item.
