The chair was nice for the first week or so. Then I started to feel very uncomfortable at the bottom. It feels as if I am sitting on a wooden chair. I don't recommend this at all unless you already have some padding at your bottom which will help you not need this chairs pseudo-padding.
Awesome chair....my hubby put it together for me and he HATES doing furniture assembly but this was a piece of cake. Easy directions and easy to assemble plus I have a horrible time with finding a comfortable chair and this one is a perfect fit. My only regret is that my boss won't buy one for me to have at work - haha :( Thank you Staples!
