Exactly what I was looking for. Some of the other reviews made me nervous that it would be too small or stiff, but I found it to be exactly what I had hoped. I wanted a chair that was firm and upright/ low back enough to provide back support during a full work day. I work and am in grad school so I live at my desk... and have found this a great chair for extended use so far. My husband weighs about 180 and also loves this chair and doesn't find it too narrow or anything. It was easy to put together. Also the pictures of the Natural vs Ivory look identical, so I just chanced it and got the natural. The color was perfect! A nice light oatmeal with beautiful texture - see pics! It also rolls really smoothly and doesn't scratch my wood floors. It does not recline at at, but I was fine with that as my goal was good back support. Might need to buy another for my husband because he keeps "borrowing" this one!
