The only downsides might be that the arms and headrest are not height-adjustable but adding a cushion to the seat put me at the right height for the headrest. I don't like having the brand name boldly displayed on it that is tasteless. It was very hard to finish the assembly I had to have help. It helps to use a drill. The metal parts seem thicker and stronger than all the previous chairs I've had which is perhaps why they can have a seven-year-warranty on it.
The chair fits my purpose perfectly. I wanted a comfortable chair with arms that could be moved out of the way so I could play guitar while watching video lessons. As an added bonus this chair provides more back support than my previous one.
