I was lucky on my first buy for an office chair. There was a sale on which was a bonus. This is a very comfy and strong chair well worth the price I paid for it and I can see myself owning it for a long time. I have had it for 2 weeks shy of 6 months and I still love it. You can't go wrong. I love the many position you can change the chair too ( higher lower recline the back rest etc).
