It swivels and glides. I wouldnt say it is silent, but it is pretty quiet. We got this to nurse the baby but it is actually now a go-to seat for my husband or any other quests. It works with or without a foot stool. I appreciate other reviews, we put a rug under it and it hides the circular base pretty well. It would have been nicer to head taller back for the head rest if Im sitting in it for more than an hour and start to slouch but otherwise pretty comfortable. Since we would have paid much much more for a custom chair that would both glide and swivel, we are pretty happy with the chair. We are petite people but it fits me and our family dog on the side comfy.
Great for price
