I bought one of the more expensive chairs from Staples and had to return it. Why? Because I could not lower the fancy chair enough to fit my desk! I need the seat top to be 19" above the floor. Is that too much to ask? I tried all of the chairs on display at Staples. This was as comfortable as the most expensive ones. But this is the only one that can be lowered enough. And I am not short! I wear 32 or 34 inch inseam pants. I definitely recommend this. And I hope Staples will stock more chairs that can be lowered to a usable level!
