the chair was fast shipping, was a light box. the instructions were easy to read and follow comes with all tools needed. took less than 15 minutes to assemble. the materials seem to be strong and will hold up over time. my last chair the levers bent and wheels didnt move on all rugs. the wheels on this move on my rug nicely.the red is very bright and colorful. gives that little pop an office needs. this chair is very comfortable to sit in. I am at the desk most of the day, when i stood up i didnt have a back ache or any discomfort. i would recommand this product to anyone
