Just got this chair and put it together.  It was easy to assemble.  The seat cushion doesn't have much padding to it and the chair is small as executive office chairs go.  Definitely good for the shorter and smaller framed person.  The arms do flip up and stay up which is a plus.  There were no flaws in the fabric of mine.  It does tilt back nicely.  It's definitely a step up from sitting in a dining room chair with a wood back and no wheels!
