The long-awaited insider's look at one of the design milestones of the twenty-first century: Michael S Smith's celebrated decoration of the Obama White House, featuring a foreword by Michelle Obama. Created for design enthusiasts, political aficionados, and students of Americana, Designing History documents Michael Smith's extraordinary collaboration with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Not since Jacqueline Kennedy's iconic work on the White House has a designer of Michael Smith's stature been commissioned to bring a new design spirit to the mansion. Through extensive photography, behind-the-scenes stories, and rich archival material, the book places the Obama White House within the context of the building's storied past and its evolution over the past two centuries. The book beautifully documents the process of updating the country's most symbolic residence, revealing how Smith's collaboration on the decoration, showcasing of artworks, and style of entertaining reflected the youthful spirit of the First Family and their vision of a more progressive, inclusive American society. Ultimately, this book will serve as both a historical document and a voyeur's delight, capturing a specific moment in time for the White House, the Obamas, and the American experience.Binding Type: Hardcover

Comfortable and easy to move around
This chair is really comfortable. The seat cushion is soft but supportive, and the mesh back keeps my back cool during long workdays. The lumbar support helps a lot with my posture. What I especially like is how smoothly the casters roll — glides effortlessly on my floor, no noise at all. Assembly was quick, around 10 minutes. The flip-up armrests also help save space when pushing the chair under my desk. Great value for the price. Highly recommend for anyone needing a solid, comfortable home office chair.

Great chair at a good price
It's a great chair, comfortable and reasonably priced for an ergonomic office chair. I usually don't write reviews, but I also understand how purchasing an office chair can feel overwhelming with so many choices.
I needed to replace the chair I'd purchased in 2020. At the time I'd not spent a lot of money, not sure if working remotely would be temporary or permanent. It lasted about as long as one might expect. I did quite a bit of research choosing a replacement. I'm always hesitant to purchase furniture without trying it out in person.
This chair is worth the price, not on the higher end of what's available but definitely not cheap. I've had it for about three weeks and so far, it's perfect for the 8-10 hours I spend in it during the week.
It arrived early, a great bonus. Assembly was quick, with easy-to-follow directions and all the tools and parts needed. (including some spare screws). I agree with others who mentioned that a spare set of hands would have helped, but I had no issue doing it myself.
It's a sturdy chair with good lumbar support. The adjustability of that feature can accommodate different heights. (I'm around 5'4") Changing seat height or whether the back tilts or remains stationary are all easy to accomplish. The one minor caveat is the seat is leather, so in warm weather and shorts season, it's not ideal. I solved that by purchasing a cover (because of the way the chair fits together, I purchased one that covers both the seat and back because a seat cover by itself would not work). That has worked fine and I'm not sure whether I'll keep the cover on all year.
Overall, it's a great chair at a good price.

Comfortable and Great Value Office Chair
This office chair exceeded my expectations for the price. The assembly was quick and easy, and the chair feels sturdy once put together. The seat cushion is comfortable for extended use, while the mesh back helps keep airflow moving throughout the day.
I also like the adjustable lumbar support and flip-up armrests, which make it easy to customize and save space when not in use. It rolls smoothly, looks professional, and provides great comfort for working from home. Overall, an excellent value and a solid choice for a home office.

Very comfortable
Great chair, simple assembly that took ~20 minutes. Very smooth height adjustments, even has a rocking function. Very sturdy and the build quality seems good. Breathable fabric for the back and good quality leather for the seats.
