VERY comfortable! Nice silent lift. Color and material is wonderful. I would have given 5 stars if we didn't have to correct a mistake that was made when it was put together at where ever this is manufactured. The base was 1 inch lower on one side than it was on the other. The lift wasn't attached to the base of the chair in the right spot, but after 45 min or so, we were able to move it to the correct spot.
