This is a good chair, but not a GREAT chair.  We've only just put it together and have been using it a few days, but compared to the Giovanni Executive Chair, this one feels a little less quality or less solid.  It looks good and operates fine (goes up/down, rolls, rotates, tilts back).  Time will tell if it holds up okay.  I like it, but I don't LOVE it.  But it was relatively inexpensive, so ... there's that.  :)
