Ordered this item because of the good price and reviews I had read. Since i plan to use it for quilting and sewing I didn't need arms. Once I sat on it I knew it was the perfect choice. There seems to be good support for my back and sitting for short periods. It was easy to put together which was a surprise. I am not an engineer so did what I could then hubby helped with the rest.When it arrived one side of the box was ripped and you could see what was inside. I ordered this used and guess that means that the warehouse was instructed not to tape the box together where it was torn. Other side was perfect howver top was crushed. It was so bad the delivery person made a not and I took pictures of the mess. As it turned out everything was intact and that was a surprise. Everything turned out fine but it was a scary delivery. One more thing instructions are in picture form rather than written for anyone that might find that info helpful.
