The chair is OK. It appears in the picture to have adequate padding. I did not find this to be accurate. It has minimal padding in the seat area and the arms do not feel that sturdy.
I like it except for the base. It tips forward very easily and I'm afraid I will fall out. I am not a big person either. The base is also very light weight. The order process and shipping were great. So far the chair is comfortable and working. We had one like this at the office and after some time the seat wouldn't stay up.
