I thought this chair was the same as a similar chair I had that had worn out. Its not / its considerably taller and a bit narrower, with lower armrests, which is on me for not figuring out from the measurements, I guess, but does mean I cant easily reach the floor with my feet while seated and am slightly more cramped when I want to cross my legs and have more trouble supporting my elbows when Im nursing a baby.
And also when I assembled it it was tilted considerably back in its least reclined position. This isnt exactly uncomfortable, if what I want to do is inspect my ceiling or take a nap, but if I want to look at my laptop its extremely unfriendly to that aim. I wound up propping up the back end of the base with a couple inches of books, which doesnt help with the height problem at all but at least gets the angle more tolerable.
Even with the adjustment wheel tightened all the way, its very easy to accidentally further recline the chair back by changing position in the seat. Or by trying to swivel; it *can* swivel, but only with moderate reluctance.
The only reason I havent returned this chair is that it would have required disassembling it again and packing it back up; and in the time since then my old chair broke down to the point where its dangerous to sit in, so now I have to use this one until I find an actually good chair that meets my needs.
