This was one of the best purchases for my new appartment, and I did a LOT of purchasing recently. It feels like sitting on a cloud. I keep it on rocking because when the rocking is off the back really doesn’t tilt much, but even on rocking it’s firm enough that I don’t tilt/rock unless I want to. I’m 5’3” and the height of the seat, as well as the back, works very well for me. The only small issue is that the seat is not very deep, so if you’re like me and can’t help sitting in weird positions, there isn’t much room to curl your feet up - I still make it work though. Overall, amazing chair, highly recommended!
