This is a very sturdy and comfortable chair. It is perfect for the long days in my home office. It honestly feels like it could cost more. While nice to have the option, I do not expect to use the full recline and foot rest, but it's nice to know it's there and works well. Setup was simple. If you are used to self-assembly from other retailers, this is comparable (perhaps easier). No complaints. I expect this purchase to hold up over time.
