This is my second AKRacing EX Core chair. I wanted a fabric chair, but it was hard for me to find a chair without the fake leather which eventually peels and drops bits everywhere. These chairs have a very nice fabric upholstery. They are firm and supportive and they are very sturdy and quiet. They do make some noise when rolling around (Wheels rattle a bit), but when sitting and moving around (or spinning like my son always does) while not rolling, they are virtually silent. I love them! They are very comfortable and I would buy another if I needed more. Highly recommend. Oh, also, if you have cats that scratch furniture, these might not be for you. My cats are pretty good, but they occasionally put a claw in these and it does create a runner in the upholstery.... That's not AKRacings fault though :) I absolutely love these chairs!
