My wife has been relegated to working at home and has been sitting in a card table chair. This showed up in the mail on my lunch hour and hoping to surprise her I hurried to assemble it. What a cinch! She found it ready and comfortable. We're very satisfied with this purchase.
Shallow seated I wouldn't think this would be comfortable for a man. A little wobbly and not too sturdy. It will be interesting to see how it holds up with daily use. It does raise and lower which I needed.
