This is a comfy chair. The fabric is a pleasant soft cool gray color (not the brownish gray color in the product photo). It is a compact size that fits nicely in a small space. The only problem is the base. Rather than swiveling on the outer ring of the base, the chair is swiveling on the center bolt. This might be the bent issue that others have complained about. I contacted the manufacturer, and they are sending a replacement base to me. Hopefully this fixes the issue, as I really like this chair otherwise.
UPDATE: I received the replacement base from the manufacturer. It functions the same as the original: if no one is sitting in the chair, it swivels on the center bolt rather than the outer ring. (I should mention that its sitting on a hardwood floor, not carpet.) If I sit in the chair just right though, my weight will be distributed properly on the outer ring. Since Ive already thrown away the original packaging, and Im too busy (or ly?) to return it anyway Ill probably place a small rug under it to see if that helps.
Nice chair, except for the base
