Review: 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!

Review: 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.

Review: Be careful when zipping up the headrest. The zipper is very hard to close and it is very tight. I wasn’t able to close it and zipper broke easily. It is a nice chair but it is annoying that i couldn’t zip the headrest. It is too big to ship it back for an exchange so im just going to have to live with it. Be cautious.

Review: A lot of the reviews here will tell you this chair is amazing and whatnot. But i’m going to be brutally honest about this chair.The setup was easy, it took my maybe 15 minutes and then I was able to use it. I followed the instructions to the letter and after a couple month of owning it and honestly barely using it, I regret buying it. It is so unbelievably uncomfortable, not only with the seat itself but the backing and the armrests. The armrests are hard plastic which, in all honesty, isn’t too big of a deal, you can just get some pads, but the backing just feels like metal. The seat part of the chair is decently cushioned, but sitting on the floor would still be a better alternative.The part where the chair and wheels meet with that metal pole, also has issues. none of it is stable. It feels like i’m going to fall over or the chair is just going to collapse. Genuinely just an issue of poor quality.This is my biggest issue with this product, the noise. I had another respawn chair prior to this and it was nicely padded and honestly comfortable, but had this insufferable squeaking noise every time I moved just an inch. I thought it was because I had the chair for a long time. Well after buying this one, I can see how wrong I was. There are so many times I am playing games with friends and they ask what all the noise is, and it’s just me moving my arm but the chair makes all the noise. I tried taking it apart and rebuilding it, trying to stuff some stuff into it to try and at least remove some of the noise, nothing.Please, save yourself the time and money and just get another chair.

Review: The chair has a lot to offer for it’s price point. All the features that it provides matches similar offerings from the main stream brands. The cushions are a bit thin, but the chair is still pretty comfortable. Overall, definitely worth looking into if you’re looking for a budget ‘gaming’ style chair.
