Feels great and supports lower back, as well as looking elegant and fitting in with antique furniture. I used to have a fixed base one, but this is MUCH nicer, as you can rock on it, which is also good for the back. Very happy with this product. Only one small thing: the instructions would be more helpful if they mentioned that the longer of the 2 horizontal pieces goes at the foot end, and the shorter one goes under the seat end.
