If you like to sit up straight don't buy this chair. It's comfortable if you like to be permanently leaning back a bit as this is the chairs natural resting position. It is also hands down the loudest creakiest office chair I have ever sat in. I cannot wd40 it enough to make any of it go away. I should have returned it when I had the change. It is wide cool and comfy otherwise. Great relaxing LOUD chair -.-
