The material feels very luxurious though time will tell how durable it proves to be. The initial impression was strong as it was straightforward to assemble and looks quite attractive. After a few weeks of use however it becomes clear that the actual functional comfort of the chair, arguably its most important characteristic long-term, is average at best; with the seat feeling as though several pieces of less than comfortable material are shifting beneath a thin sponge of foam which creak and adjust at the slightest change in position. It's frustratingly just beneath a good desk height in its adjustability rendering it difficult to use. Lastly, it has those frustrating plastic screw covers which always pop off and get lost, which is probably a good thing as the chair continually loosens over time and requires a tightening each month.
