The chair sits on a base of 5 wheels and swivels very nicely. It's a nice rich black finish, and the cushions are very supportive. Especially on your back. It has an easy to use handle on the bottom of the chair. The instructions are easy to follow, and it comes with the tool that you need to put this chair together. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. This is a very well made office chair, and I highly recommend it.
