I purchased this chair for not only gaming but as a desk chair as well. The assembly was easy I did it myself and I'm challenged when it comes to putting things together. I inspected the chair carefully due to other reviews - stitching was great and the black and gray color is very classy. My son loves the comfort and said he can see now how a gaming chair is beneficial. Excellent chair for the price.
The quality is low given the price point. The black glossy parts will eventually flake off (some of it already has on the screw caps). The chair is stiff and there is no ability to lock in the tilted position. This is a basic chair with a gaming "skin" on it. You're simply paying for the gaming look here otherwise a non-gaming chair of similar quality can be had for less than $100.
Review For Emerge Vortex Gaming Chair I Just Purchased

The Pre Drilled holes on the chair back are crooked resulting in the chair back not aligning properly with the arms of the chair. There are a few spots on the chair that the stitching is pulling away from the Bonded Leather material. The chair itself is nice but for the price you would figure it would be crafted better!
Went to the store and they were out but promised it would be here before Christmas. Kept watching the tracker and never said it was shipped however it arrived when they said it would and it is a great quality and the crew at the store was super nice to work with
There is a lot to like about this gaming chair. I'm not a gamer but I do like to be comfortable while I work at my desk at home and this chair fits the bill. Assembly was very straight forward and simple. One of the things I like about the adjustability was that you can fold up the arm rests which makes it easier to type on a keyboard. The only negative I have found so far is that the leather on my chair didn't have the leather aroma that I expected. It has an almost antiseptic odor. My wife said that it smelled a little bit like Vicks vapor rub. Great if you have sinus congestion but not so good otherwise. I'm hopeful that it will "air out" and loose that smell over time. Overall considering the price and ease of assembly I would recommend this chair...and some air freshener.
