I purchased the chair to update my lab chair for our new, higher counter tops. This one actually gets taller than I expected, but works perfectly, as I am 6' tall and tend to have problems with "tall chairs". It was easy to assemble, and glides around on the tile very smoothly and quietly. The seat is wide and comfortable, and the lower back support is great. It is also very easy to clean which is important in our lab environment. It is highly recommended, especially for the low price!
