Comments about Alvin American-Style Draftsman's Chair:

Chair does not go as low as listed. The lowest setting for the seat height is 25" It is very comfortable and the footrest is great. This will work nice for my easle work, but not my drawing table, unless I put a couple of 2x4s under the legs of my table. be sure to keep the wheels locked if you are going to be getting up often. The wheels roll really fast on my hardwood floor. WEEEEE!!!
It was easy to assemble because I am good at figuring out mechanical things, however, the directions were lacking and not clear. just blown up diagrams, no words.

Very comfortable for long hours of work

Comments about Alvin American-Style Draftsman's Chair:

This chair is really well constructed from quality materials. Its very comfortable (almost too comfortable) so long hours sitting at the drawing table are no longer a chore that I dread. Just the thing for a sore back once you get the adjustments dialed in. Its very stable and easily assembled in minutes. My only complaint, and its a small one, are the locking levers on the casters. They stick out so far that they are easily stepped on and I'm always finding one caster locked when I want to move to chair. Kind of defeats my choice to use the casters rather than the glides but this alone is not enough reason to knock off a star.
