The sleekness of this chair makes it very beautiful to look at in my office; the black stands out and matches well with my desk. It is lightly padded in the back and on the seat, but still comfortable to sit in. The chair was easy to assemble with its easy-to-follow instructions. It also includes an Allen wrench (hex tool); it is lightweight and easy to move around with its wheels. The height is also adjustable. Overall, a great chair.
