This office chair is very pretty but isn't really comfortable for long sitting times. The swivel is smooth when you want to turn different directions. The seat cushion your bottom sits on is comfortable but the back support is short and isn't good for leaning back. The velvety fabric is nice and soft to the touch. I do wish it had the option to have wheels so you can move around but it's still a nice stationary decorative chair. Overall it's a nice chair for short term sitting
