Nearly perfect. The seat is very pretty--exactly as it's pictured. The set-up was easy to do alone as a small woman and took only 5 minutes. The material is not cat-friendly so I suggest covering it if you have cats (one of mine is obsessed with the chair). The seat is on the firm side which is okay with me because I use it as an office chair (even though it is not on wheels) and my desk turns into a standing desk. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day. The base is less stable than I hoped. I wouldn't buy this if you are close to the max limit the manufacturer listed. It is fine for me but I would be too nervous for my 6'6" (240 lbs) husband to use this. It creaked when he tried it out.
