Generally just fine but the seatback should be more vertical for a desk chair. This isn't an issue of the reclining feature its the angle between the seat and seatback. Feels a bit like a lounge chair but generally suitable.
Assembly was difficult because the holes for the Bolts for the bottom were not lined up properly. We had to use a drill to relocate the holes so we could finish the assembly.
This was a Christmas present for my husband so I assembled it. Instructions were clear. It was assembled in less than an hour. Not bad for someone my age😊. Nice construction for a budget chair. My husband really likes it. To top it off the chair arrived quickly.
