Short-term solution, would not recommend long-term

I've used this chair for almost a year, and can say with confidence that in that timeframe the seat cushion has worn down so much that i can feel the star-shaped piece of metal through the seat. The hip tilt also does not work at all, even with the instructions (ensuring that the bar is on the right side instead of the left).
I'm 5'3, 130lbs and only sit in this chair for about 2-3 hours a day- if it was a <$100 chair I could understand the quick wear and tear, but for almost $200 it's absurd for it to go out this fast. The rest of the chair has held up, though, otherwise the review would stay at 1 star. If you need to quickly replace a chair (talking within 14 days, so you can return this to the store when the replacement arrives) it should be fine, but I would not keep for long-term use.

The Insignia gaming chair is a popular choice for gamers due to its ergonomic design and comfortable features. It comes with adjustable armrests, a high backrest, and a headrest pillow for better support during extended gaming sessions. The chair is upholstered with high-quality PU leather, which is easy to clean and durable. It also has a 360-degree swivel base and smooth-rolling casters for easy movement.
Some customers have reported issues with the chair's assembly and durability, with some claiming that the chair may start to wear out after a few months of use. However, many others have praised its overall build quality and value for the price.
Overall, the Insignia gaming chair may be a good option for those looking for an affordable and comfortable gaming chair, but it is important to consider the potential issues before making a purchase.

Very nice chair that could be easily assembled. I was a bit bummed out that my neck didn’t have a well place to rest, but it actually kept me in game more intensely.

There are pros and cons with this chair. Pro, seat depth isn’t as deep as most desk chairs. The cons I have are, not quite as padded as I would like. The wheels are difficult, for me, on carpet.
