I should preface this by saying I didn't buy this chair as something I would use every day, so I'm not entirely sure about how it feels sitting in it for long periods of time. I bought this to use in an office that is used sporadically, and for that purpose it is perfect! Comfortable, moves up and down easily, rolls easily even on my carpet. Even though the packaging it came in was slightly damaged, nothing was damaged or scratched on the inside, and the assembly was quick and painless. If you're looking for just a cheap, basic office chair, I would highly recommend this.
