It's a good, solid chair. I put it together on my own but the instructions weren't very clear at all so it took several attempts to get everything in the right place. Anyway, it came out well eventually. Unfortunately it hasn't provided me with the relief for my back I was hoping for and if I could go back in time I would get an adjustable chair even though they don't look as nice. Tbh I haven't managed to sit in it for more than 20 mins before my back hurts too much, which is the problem I have with my desk chair too. But that's not to say it won't work for you. If you know this is the kind of chair you need, I reccomend this one because it's pretty sturdy and looks nice.
