The chair arrived sooner than expected.  It was well-packed.  A friend assembled it quickly, while I wasn't present, so I assume it was easy. The directions looked adequate.  I love the mid-century modern look.  The shiny black goes well with the accessories I have in the room.  My favorite part is the swivel, which is what I was looking for.  The swivel and tilt seem to be functioning fine.  The only problem I have with the chair is the cushion.  It is just too thin and the seat is very hard.  I actually filled the cushion cover (it has a zipper in the back) with some foam and now it is better, but I make take that out and put in fiberfill.  Don't plop down into the chair, it is too hard!  Other than that issue, I am very happy with the chair.
