Absolutely love this chair. I was hesitant at first to get this after seeing people complain about how flimsy they said it was. Upon getting this, I immediately put it together and it's perfect! Just the right height for a teen or smaller adult. The back of the chair is fine as long as you're gentle with your possessions. If you want a chair to lean back in, this might not be for you because, well, it's shaped like a heart and has a small base on the back! I happen to have a habit of leaning forward while working so this was perfect for my needs. I feel like a little doll sitting in this, and it's even cuter when my boyfriend tries it out. Just a warning (after seeing my boyfriend use it) - this chair is definitely for smaller people. My boyfriend is 5'8", and while on the smaller side for a guy, when he sat in this chair (that's the perfect size for me, 5'1" lady on the smaller side of average), it became obvious that this chair might not be best for taller people who want a chair's back, to well, cover their back. If you're the kind of person who's okay with a stool, you'll have no problem at all with this chair! If you want a longer chair back, I recommend going the route of a computer or gaming chair. All in all, this lived up to my own specific needs and desires, and makes me really happy everytime I see it.
