This chair is very comfortable. The stand is sturdy enough to sit on carpet and not feel unstable at all. It sits low to the ground but high enough that it is still comfortable. It is made out of a plastic/resin material and not wicker. I love the spring that attaches the chair to the frame too, it provides a very smooth swinging motion when you move.
Overall I love the chair, it is very comfortable, stable and was easy to assemble.
