I got this for a christmas gift and overall the chair is very good. Comfort is nice for a smaller chair and it takes up much less room than some larger models. The only issue I had with this chair was the noise as some other users have mentioned. On mine this noise was coming from some uneven surfaces inside the bottom seat bracket in the area where the post slides in. After a week of popping and squeaking noises I was able to track it down. After disassembly I used a bit of sandpaper to flatten out the cylinder receptacle area inside the bottom seat bracket then gave it a little grease before reassembly. The chair is ultra quiet now and no more squeaking or popping.
Very comfortable but do this before assembly
