By far the most comfortable desk/computer chair I've ever owned. Padding is firm throughout. Does not squish or "move" at all yet remains very comfortable without making your backside go numb. Very well made of durable material. Was a little difficult to assemble but got it together just fine. For those wondering the difficult part was in getting some of the screws started as the leather and padding material are so stiff when new it made it hard to get them far enough into the holes to get them to "bite". I found it easiest to lay the chair on its "sides" while attaching the arms and back because that way I could assert downward pressure that allowed me to get the screws in easier. With all said and done if you're looking for a good inexpensive computer/gaming chair I highly recommend this one.
