The chair is quite comfortable though I found the lumbar pillow to be too large I couldn't find a comfortable position for it. I had two major issues with the chair and maybe they're silly but for me they were deal breakers. #1 - the "wings" on the back are too pronounced and interfere with reaching your arms out. I have a table to the right of my desk and kept bumping my arm trying to grab things off of it. #2 - you can't easily rock back in the chair. I suspect because it has the car-style reclining but in any case you can't rock back without using your feet to push off the ground. I like the rocking from a traditional office chair. If neither of those things sound bad to you try it out. It is comfy and when you recline all the way back you could even take a nap in it.
Bought this chair for hubby. The raisable arm rests enable the chair to fit under his desk. The reclining feature allows him to rock when he feels like it. He loves this chair!
The sketchbook is great. The only issue is the feeling in the store. The Greenfield Massachusetts store: the employees are not helpful or caring like before and there aren’t any incentives to shop there
