Good but not great

I am 5'2" with a small frame. This chair is fairly comfortable but a) my feet don't touch the ground because of the depth of the seat b) the arm rests are too wide for someone with a petite frame and they are not adjustable c) the back support is decent but definitely not what I was expecting based on the description of the chair. The color is nice it feels fairly sturdy the wheels glide easily over carpet. My chair did arrive with a few scuff marks and a small stain on the fabric but I can live with it. It is a bit larger than I was expecting overall but it's not huge and will still work in a fairly small space. Assembly was easy except for the wheels - they are nearly impossible to insert using just hand and arm strength. I needed to use a hammer wrapped in a towel to get them in properly. *Wheel insertion tip: get the wheel reasonably secured in the base so it won't fall out immediately turn the base over so the wheel is on the floor (do this on carpet) and use a rubber mallet or a hammer wrapped in a towel to tap the base of the chair from the top - the wheel will pop into place much easier than trying to force it in from the top.
This chair has a quality feel to it - not cheap and the wheels are very smooth. The mesh back is comfortable and a lot cooler than my last chair that was faux leather and didn't breathe at all. This chair is a great value for the price.
Good comfortable chair that replaced an old Goodwill chair. Rolls turns and twists easily. Hydraulic up/down works nicely. Only regret is that I wished it rocked but it does not.
