The chair is fairly comfortable. I love the materials and I think they will hold up better than my old chair. However, the chair is at best a mid-back chair and NOT a high-back chair (this can not be considered a high-back for an adult).  I am disappointed and will be passing this chair on to someone else and purchasing a true high-back chair.  There were no assembly problems and assembly was very simple and fast. Once again, this is not a high-back chair.
