It is sturdy and comfortable. I usually place a heating pad on my back and so the sleek hole near the neck area became a space where the wires from my heating pad and its protective cover can sit at.
My 6'5" 240# husband needed a new desk chair for the home office but didn't want to spend a small fortune. This chair(grey) looks professional enough and is very supportive and comfortable for a reasonable price. Easy to assemble although putting the back on is easier with 2 people.
Thos chair is very comfortable if you have to sit at a desk for an extreme amount of time or just for a few minutes. I would recommend this chair to anyone. It is a little pricey but very comfortable.
