Overall a nice entry level 'executive' desk chair. Assembly is trickier than it need be due to difficulty in aligning the the bolts to the frame - but once you finally get them started it goes very quickly. Note that you should not tighten the arms to the frame until both the seat and back are in place with the bolts started - then you tighten everything up. The padding on the arm-rests is too soft, defeating the purpose of having padded armrests. The cover material is lower quality than I expected, but is typical of vinyl-type covers. It won't fool anyone into thinking it's leather. The hydraulic lifts works well and quietly, surpassing my expectations. But the stand-out feature of this chair is the fold-up armrests which allow you to push this chair  to rest under a desk, all the way up to the backrest.
