Relatively comfortable, assembly with an extra set of hands was about average for a chair. The chair itself is a bit wobbly with its connection to the gas piston, but may settle down with use.  The chair sits with a bit of a push on the lower thigh, which so far seems ok. Love the flip up arms, however due to them being plastic durability long term is a question as if you lean on them when down there is no mid support.  The material is really soft, and the color was almost exact to the picture. So far pretty happy with it, but only true test for a chair is time and use.
