I am 5"1 and the chair fits me well, despite the documentation saying 5"6 or taller. I think the chair is pretty well-made. It was not too difficult to assemble. I do wish I could move the backrest a little bit away from the chair. Also, I cannot turn the knob that is supposed to loosen/tighten the tilt function. However, I do not plan on tilting the chair.
I Purchased as a Christmas gift and it is still in the unopened box it came in. Therefore, I cannot really say although according to the specs it seems to meet what we were and are looking for.
