Compared to my old office chair this one is amazing! It did take me about an hour to put it together; the directions verses the labeling of the parts, the screws in particular, was rather confusing. I had to take apart at least two different pieces at least once because of the labeling situation. The wheels of the chair squeak a little when scooting around on carpet but thats hardly a complaint. It's easily adjustable both for the height and back; the chair arms are also adjustable! That was a fun find. With the max weight being 300lbs and myself, and husband, being on the heavier and tall side we feel very stable in the chair. It feels very sturdy and nothing is bending where it shouldn't be, the cushion is comfortable and pretty thick. Overall, worth it.
