chair looks nice but comfort is horrible. seat cushions are hard as concrete ...... like most low end gaming chairs. it was so bad I gave it to my kids instead of the trouble of returning it. do not mistake this for a DPS gaming chair which is very comfortable.

Not a bad chair but not the best for our use- didn’t notice until after assembly that the arms are not adjustable.

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.

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.

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

I purchased this and it feels like its held together with hopes and dreams. The four bolts that attach the bracket with level on it don't tighten all the way, I had to find some washers and use them. It hurts my back when I sit on it, I will definitely be taking this back.
