I was honestly using my piano chair to sit at my desk and BOI ... that gave me such huge backache. This chair makes me feel like a queen and it's very comfy. The seat isn't very plush so I did have to buy a cushion. I wouldn't recommend laying fully back given the chair doesn't have a very balanced support and I legit saw my life flash before my eyes when it started to tip back. Also, the instructions don't exactly ... instruct. I went on youtube and found a video where I followed step buy step to put the chair together.

This chair is high in comfort and is great for long hours of play especially for me considering I stream on top of work. I am able to come home and game and be comfortable. The chair was easy to set up! The only downside really is the edge of the chair for someone who is bigger in the thighs it was annoying at first but I did get used to it. The fabric it uses is great but can get warm, but no problem for me. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something stylish and comfortable especially if you're a streamer!

It's no lie we're all in lockdown, my old office depot chair just wasn't cutting it anymore when I'm working from home 8+ hours a day. I was skeptical at first but when my back was too sore to cope I opted to give this Gaming Chair a try. Let me tell you, buy this chair! It not even a question. Sure the box was heavy (IMO) but the chair is highly adjustable, comfortable, and quality. Also, I've seen ads for similar-looking, more expensive gaming chairs and (IMO) they are all the same.

Brought this chair as a Christmas present for my adult son who uses it for gaming. Super comfortable and easy to set up. Stylish and not cheap feeling, unlike some of the other lower priced chairs. Highly recommend!

Switching to a WFH setup I found that I was getting a lot of back pain from my previous chair. This one, while looking descreate (All black model) is also a very functional and high quality chair that helps with lower back support and posture. I am a big and tall guy and this fits pretty good (6' 2" 330lbs) but I do find that it is a bit tight around my hips. Assembly is stright forward, but there are points you may struggle with the ikea like instructions.

I was torn between a gaming chair and a regular office chair. I am not a gamer but logic told me the purpose of these chairs is to be able to help the gamer stay comfortable during long hours of play. I am a writer so I sit for a long time and really needed something comfortable and ergonomic to cushion my lumbar and neck. This chair is perfect. A couple of cons, however:
1. There are so many types of gaming chairs that I was just more confused so I focused on the size I needed and the cushion areas. Be careful with dimensions...a lot of these chairs are not very wide and some have little depth.
2. Those instructions...what.the.heck?! I figured it out but for a $300+ chair, they could've invested more time and money on explaining how to assemble. Best advice: Take your time so you don't have to start over. You will figure it out.
Overall: I love it. The only challenge will be for me to stay awake I'm sure lol! Hope this review helped.

I’ve been very satisfied with this chair over the last few weeks. The adjustments are plentiful and allow for very good range of positions which is great as I am 6’3”. The lumbar support is nice as is the neck pillow. The cloth I actually like better than another “PC leather” gaming chair I have. Materials are decent and in line with other similarly priced chairs though not high end.

This gaming chair is a perfect combination of affordability and quality. I purchased it for my sister, and she loves the lumbar support, adjustability, and sturdy design. It’s been a game-changer for her long hours at the computer and even for casual lounging. Highly recommended for those looking for quality without breaking the bank.

Excellent quality. Extremely comfortable. Base of chair is the perfect length. Not too lounging and not too task like. Just perfect. Game for hours or days without aches and pains if your the older person like me!

Good gaming chair,,, if you have larger than normal hips and tights you might what to avoid as all gaming chair... a nice office chair is probably the best choice... it was black Friday sale with $130 off and I had $250 in Best Buy certificates so only cost me $20... great deals for that price... might reconsider at full price of $400

Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. After doing some research this one seemed to be good quality for the price. Fabric is nice for keeping cool in the summer. Neck and back support is a nice feature also. Arm rests move up and down for a comfortable fit at your desk. Chair also tilts almost all the way back if you want to take a nap in between races. Overall has a stylish appearance, not too flashy with lights and speakers but still has a classic gamer chair look.

My husband absolutely loves this chair. He's 6'1 and 200+ pounds and the chair has handled him without fail. We added inline casters to avoid having a mat underneath the chair [we have wood floors] and to make the motion across the floor very quiet [even matches the chair]. It was fairly easy to assemble and even provided gloves to avoid scratching while assembling. This was a deal of the day when purchased, so we definitely saved some money too!

Best chair I could find at this price point.
Pros:
- It's very ergonomic and useful for people who sit at their computers all day.
- It has plenty of adjustments to suit your desk setup.
- It's made of breathable polyester fabric and not PU leather that usually ends up cracking and delaminating.
- Very sturdy metal frame with barely no flex.
- No extra tools required for assembly. I usually throw the cheap tools that come with products to the side and use my power tools to assemble things faster and easier. But in this case I opted to use the included allen wrenches knowing they're usually made to limit how much your torque down the screws. These wrenches also seemed to be made of proper tool steel or at least were hardened and tempered like proper tools (unlike most of the wrenches you get with products that need assembly).
Cons:
- As other people have pointed out, the assembly instructions (and even the online video) leave some parts for you to figure out.
- Most of the screws are already fixed in place and you're forced to remove them and put them back in when assembling the parts, instead of all the screws coming in a sealed bag or bags.

Great chair. Feels comfortable on my back. Only complaint is the instructions had no written words and was only confusing pictures. Online instructions were no help.

Very comfortable and easy to use, I was skeptical and couldn’t really justify a $300 chair but I went for it anyways. Assembly took me about 20 minutes instructions are very clear and it’s really sturdy. I play games and work from home and it’s a really nice chair with no signs of it being uncomfortable after long periods of time. Adjustable height and width

This Chair is awesome. I live stream with it for nearly 8 hours a day and 4-6 hours most days. Its very comfortable and well built. The pillows are a very good add on as I use them all time. For the price I would say this chair is way worth it over an Amazon cheap chair. You wont be disappointed. It reclines and arm wrests swivel

My old chair died - it was time for a new one. This chair is comfortable and well built but the fabric is not super durable. We have cats and there are numerous pulls in the fabric just from them walking and sleeping on it. The lumbar and neck supports are useful but not rigged very well - they move fairly easily and need to be re-adjusted frequently.
Overall I'm satisfied but not overjoyed.
