I'm sitting on my a$$ for many hours a day while working from home, like so many of us. I got an office chair thinking the spinning and adjustable height features would be nice to haves. But it was creaky as heck every time I leaned back even just a little bit. Plus I don't really need those features. Most chairs are the right height for me. So I sent it back and got this chair instead. It's the right height (I'm about 5'4") and it doesn't make any noise - at all. I put some felt pads on the four little things on the sled legs so it slides just fine on my hard wood floor. It's actually comfortable to sit in, but I went ahead and got a low-profile chair cushion which I justified since the chair itself was so affordable. The chair is very sturdy, so I'm confident it will last. Another nice thing is it came fully assembled in a large box that my stepdaughter loves getting in and jumping out of for our amusement. I've been sitting on it all week and so far so good. I give it an enthusiastic 5 stars.
