Chairs and shoes - two things I've always avoided buying online, until now. Wayfair's easy return policy made me feel comfortable taking a chance on this chair and I'm so glad I did. It is very comfortable, sturdy and stylish. The back is angled appropriately for several hours of sitting and the padding in the back and seat is likewise sufficient for a few hours. It is not an ergonomic office chair, but will work for "home desk" use like paying bills, answering emails, playing a few games etc. I would not hesitate to put a guest in this chair for an evening of socializing either!
