The instructions are not incredibly clear but Ive had worse. Just make sure you are jamming those wheels on the stand in the beginning! I ultimately chose this chair over others because of reviews on similar upholstered. Im not tiny and can easily sit with my leg folded plus a feline companion with comfort. Of course you wont get as much back support with this chair as you may in an ergonomic chair-but I dont imagine that is a huge priority if you are choosing a fashion chair over an actual industrial ergonomic design. The upholstery is nice and comfortable to sit on, and if you are leaning back.
