I looked all over the place for a swivel chair that has sturdy but comfy sides so that I could sit in whatever position I felt like while working. I finally found it. I use this chair daily when working from home now. We found it easy to assemble ourselves. It is quite short, so be mindful of that when choosing this chair, but I like to sit on my knees, Indian style, with my lap dog, on a pillow, etc, so I like a little extra leg room. I am 5ft 2in, so it's easy for me to curl up in this chair in various positions or lounge and take a nap with the foot stool. It does lean back a little bit. I use a pillow behind my back when I need to sit upright for video calls.
