The backrest is screwed to an angle with the seating surface. Optionally, you could therefore decide not to install the armrests. The armrest itself is relatively high due to the curved shape. So if you like close sitting at the table and at the same time want to sit too high should consider not possibly grow the armrests here. Otherwise one comes with the armrests otherwise relatively quickly to the table surface.
The tilting mechanism can be very finely adjust so that you can exploit as a "flyweight" selfsame well. The resistance can here from very soft to (tilts faster) very hard (tilts less quickly / far) are well adjusted (rotary knob under the seat). If you immerse yourself completely backward tilt could almost fall asleep in that chair.
Visually, the chair is beautiful to look at and also the padding is very convenient. I'll put in a few weeks / months an update on the seat and the padding. So far, I have indeed learned that this was very fast "flat" with chairs in this price range.
