The armrest installation was optional which is great because without the armrests I can push the chair under the desk and don't have to reach so far. The seat and backrest are very comfortable as well.
I bought this chair (in grey) to use at my sewing machine. I needed adjustable height and this one raises up JUST high enough. I searched all over for a chair at the right height that would be comfortable and not cost an arm and a leg. This fit the bill. The other very helpful thing for me was that I was able to remove the arms very easily to make it less awkward at my sewing table. I’m happy! Only minor flaw is that it doesn’t roll very easily on carpet.
