This chair was painful to assemble. The tiny tools included cut my hands up pretty good before I went for the power drill and wrench set in the garage.Once assembled, they look great. Stylish and shiny. The chrome is really nice looking. They're mildly comfortable, not great, but not bad. Appropriate for an office guest chair, not appropriate for relaxing and watching TV after work.The swivel action is really nice. It glides really smoothly. Unfortunately, the swivel hardware sheared itself in half the first week I owned the chair. The chair literally fell right off the base, dumping me and my PowerBook onto the floor. I got a good bruise, and the PowerBook got a nice dent. We returned the chair right away. AVOID THIS CHAIR! Very shoddy hardware in the swivel unit. There are a couple other reviews for this chair (in brown) that had the same experience. Buyer beware!
