I work from home and needed an office chair that was comfortable and durable. I often sit Indian style when working so I did a lot of looking to find one that would be ideal for that. Both chair arms are able to lift up if you like a chair that does not have the arm rests which was great and they are a good height to still fit under a desk when down and pushed in. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly reccomend if you are in the market for a new chair!
