I LOVE THIS CHAIR!! I fell in love with the look of it first and then wondered how practical it would be with a lower back, it turns out the back hits me perfectly (I'm 5'10) and the cushions are cushy. The next thing I was concerned with was the arms, or lack thereof. You can't really tell by the image but they do exist and they are perfect for my needs. I would highly recommend this chair to anyone looking at it.
