So far I'm very pleased with this chair. The build quality feels sturdy, it's very adjustable (and you need to take the time to adjust it to your body), and it's very swivel-y. The foot rest is sufficiently sturdy and supportive. The base of the chair cylinder sits a little close to the floor for my liking; it might be problematic if I had carpet. You also need to be careful when getting out of the chair when the foot rest is out. I swivel away from my desk and stand, and I've almost tripped on it a few times. But overall, I am very happy with this chair, it's a definite upgrade from my last chair.
