110 Ergonomic Gaming Chair - Racing Style High Back PC Computer Desk Office Chair - 360 Swivel, Integrated Headrest, 135 Degree Recline with Adjustable Tilt Tension & Angle Lock - 2023 Grey

I bought this chair for my music room and I wanted one that would be comfy and allow me to leave the arms off so I can play guitar sitting down. Installation took me about 20 minutes because I did not have to bother with installing the arms. The only part that was tricky was installing the headrest in the back-cushion. I was vigorously stretching and pinching the fabric to avoid tearing when zipping it up. I have strong hands, and I cannot imagine someone without decent hand-strength managing this. Mine was a humdinger to get in there without breaking it. Anyhow, I can now play guitar comfortably. It does lack lumbar support, but I can stick a lumbar pillow back there if I wanted to. As a gaming/office chair, it's OK, but gaming usually means long hours and better lumbar support would be critical for it. But still, great chair for the coin. I am pleasantly surprised. Guitarist approved!

For the price, four stars. As an absolute, I'd give it three. This review might seem negative since it will focus more on what I don't like/didn't think about before ordering, but I do recommend this chair if you still want it after reading this. My main reference point is an Octane gaming chair I bought 20 years ago for about $80; this is intended to replace it. It looks nice, and the assembly instructions were excellent. Other companies could learn from Respawn. Absolutely no problems with assembly. BUT... The cushion really is as thin as it looks. I'm over 200 lb, and use this as an office chair so I am in it a lot, but a little more padding would be nice. The armrests are not padded nor adjustable. I bought some clip-on cushions. Note I needed to get longer ones - 11.5 inches. The armrest height is OK for me, but I'm coming from a chair that has armrests tops that slide for and aft, and rotate. I did not realize how much I would miss that. The casters are OK, but I do miss the smooth urethane scooter-style wheel from my old chair. The base is plastic, not metal. The chair is light, but I don't see it lasting 20 years. The material is soft fake leather. It is smooth and easy to clean, but coming from a fabric chair, this one gets hot during extended sessions. One concern i have is how much it squeaks already after just a few weeks of use. I have tightened the assembly bolts, but it still squeaks as much as the old chair it is replacing. Overall I don't like it as much as the chair it is replacing, but I am not in a position to spend hundreds of dollars on a chair to fix the issues I have. I am keeping it for now, but may save up for something better over the next few years.

As a maintenance tech for a school district, I've assembled and repaired hundreds of task and office chairs in the last 20 years, so that should qualify me as being "familiar" with chairs at the very least. As a gamer, add on 10 more years of experience sitting on my behind for hours at a time. So getting to it, the chair is built extremely well. Even though it's made in China, the quality of the hardware, machining and powder coating are all better than average. Parts mate perfectly. Nothing was dinged, scratched, chipped or dented out of the box. Packaging was better than average. I would expect the weight rating to be right on the money, and anyone under 250 is going to have a difficult time breaking this chair by not being gentle with it. Probably the only thing I would deem underwhelming are the casters. They do not roll as freely as most run-of-the-mill plastic casters. Some folks will actually be okay with that, but when I push away from a desk, I need the chair to glide a little. This one requires more than normal effort to make it move. Totally assembly time with the allen key provided was around 25 minutes. I could have used my impact on it, but since I wasn't familiar with the build quality, I didn't want to risk over-torquing anything even a little. Instructions are clear and concise. With the exception of zipping in the headrest, I can't see anyone having a hard time with assembly. Comfort! This is where improvement is much-needed. While it's a sleek and mostly ergonomic design, it lacks sufficient cushioning in the seat. I'm around 200 lbs. and feel "bottomed out" in this chair, enough to where I feel pain. This is something I've never experienced in ANY articulating chair, including automotive seats. Lack of padding or height adjustment in the arm rests may be problematic for some. For me, it's a matter of an inch too tall with the chair adjusted to its lowest (I'm 5'10"). At this price point, I don't understand how at a minimum, simple height-adjustable armrests are left out. Reclining is the only feature where this chair might excel. I could comfortably nap in it without any added cushions or support. Upright is a different story. Being aware of the seat back height/headrest, you'll want to naturally let your head fall back, but it's not a comfortable position while looking at a screen. And since there's no forward adjustment, you'll now need to add about 4" to 6" worth of cushion to keep your head upright enough. So with about $70 worth of add-ons (memory foam head and seat cushion plus footrest), this chair can work as a long haul gaming seat, but that's an extra $70 you could put towards a different chair with possibly a thicker seat cushion, adjustable headrest, lumbar support and maybe even 4D adjustable armrests. I like the design, but if I had to do over, I'd increase my budget cap by an extra $100 and shop for something that checks all or some of the aforementioned boxes. Updated 1-2-25: I removed a star due to the deteriorating cover material after just a year and a half of normal use. In fact, I have a memory foam seat cushion that prevents my legs from contacting this part of the chair. This is simple material fatigue in a climate controlled room. At this point I can no longer recommend this chair. If you're in this chair's price range, add another hundred and shop around.

Got a little issue with the zipper but overall it's a good chair

a little bit tough to get the seat covers on but besides that this chair is a thing of sturdiness and comfortability.
