    Its ok but would like if it stayed leaning back on it's own. You have to keep pressing on the floor to keep it leaning. Woukd expect a little more features for the price.

    The chair looks nice, but thats the only good thing about it. Easy to assemble except for the arm rests, hard to line up properly. My butt went numb after using for 1 hour along with my hands from the hard armrests. And the other big no no was the spring for reclining was to stiff not to mention no lock position in any position for reclining.

      Hi,

      Thanks for your review.

      The design of the chair is that the backrest can automatically tilt according to the user's recline, so there is no device that can be locked in any position. BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    Chair is hard. It really wasn’t what I was expecting but it’ll work for now. My advice would be to try the chair before you buy it.

    Not bad, not great. If ergonomics are something that are really important to you you'll find out fairly quickly if this is the right fit for you or not.

    Narrow seat but a great value for the price! For a first gaming chair it would be ideal. Will want to upgrade.

    Uncomfortable

    Overall would not recommend. (I am 170 lbs) The chair has very thin foam on the seat and gets very uncomfortable on your glutes and hamstring area after about 30 min of use. The chair does not want to lean back very easily. It takes a significant amount of force to make the chair lean back. I really wish I would have spent more money on a nicer chair.

    Have to use a pillow or a blanket to add extra padding. Also, it doesn't lock in the recline position.

    Looks nice in pictures but not in person. The chair is extremely small. Im 5’6 and my head goes above the head rest. It is uncomfortable and you can feel the screws through the bottom even when they are not in all the way.

      I'm sorry to hear that the Insignia Essential PC Gaming Chair didn't meet your expectations in person. I understand that you were expecting a comfortable and ergonomic seating experience, but unfortunately, the chair's dimensions and design didn't align with your needs. At 5'6", it's not surprising that the headrest is too small for you, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Additionally, the discomfort caused by feeling the screws through the bottom of the chair is unacceptable. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve the design and comfort of our products in the future.

    I do not recommend this chair. The chair back screw holes are missing and the holes that were there the screws didn’t line up. It was a waste of my time, I had to disassemble the chair and return it.
