Do keep in mind that I have only had the chair assembled for two days but so far it has been great. I worked from home in it yesterday and didn't catch myself getting uncomfortable at all ... it ended up being a 9-hour workday and it felt like it went by faster than most 8-hour days. Maybe that is just a coincidence but the chair has been great. It was mostly easy to assemble with exception of the arm pieces and getting the backrest popped into place -- it wasn't the most difficult process in the world just felt like it could have been a little easier. The purple is not as prominent as it is in the pictures which I personally like. So far great product and I am very pleased with my purchase. As an added bonus it rolls very smoothly and the wheels are pretty quiet.
