seems to work fine. I like it. We are actually using it in a sound room at our church to sit at during the worship hour. Other times we are on our feet. Would like it to lean back a bit further but those are some features that come in the higher end chairs and we are only in it a couple hours a week. This was a better option than trying to find a used one in good condition. Either the covers are starting to split or the shock absorber/adjuster is shot. That's why I made the choice of this one.
