I needed some help putting it together but just a little - I like that it swivels; it doesn't rock and the movable arms make it fit easily under the table. It does not smell like leather but is comfortable. I hope it lasts a long time because one reason I bought it was that it said it was comfortable to sit in for 7+ hours a day! So far it's great!
This chair is very comfortable. One of the few with lift up arms which allows the chair slide under low desks in tight home offices. It looks good too.
The chair is solid and made of good materials. For me though the seat padding is way too thin and there is no lumbar support. I'm trying to use this chair now while sitting on a cushion with a folded towel behind my back.
