Its a good chair for the price. Not sure about the sturdy part though...Im pretty small so it doesnt bother me much but if you adjust the tilt to tilt back more easily it starts becoming more and more wobbly. It also had a few scratches and scuff marks on it that make me wonderif its not been used already. During the assembly there also was some kind of black sand type material that kept falling out of every crevice of this chair....
