I needed a more comfortable, yet not plushy, chair. I sit at and use old Ikea kitchen table as my desk. This chair is stylish, easy to put together (although it's not clear on the instructions which side of the swivel to put up or down—might not matter), and it's sturdy as hell. The swivel is awesome. I'm on a hardwood floor and the feet have nice rubber bottoms. And, the package comes with extra everything, like screws and those rubber bottoms, in case something gets lost somewhere. This is a great value and perfect for my desk that's not a desk.
