I’m a curvy plus size Black woman who has to sit at a desk for 8 hours 5 days a week. The chair stopped my back pain and allows for my thighs to not be smashed together. Super comfortable i could sleep in this chair. Easy to assemble as well with clear instructions and didn’t take long.

03/03/2022 I just got my Emerge vortex gaming chair. I chose to save $60 & assemble the chair myself. Whoever wrote the manual must be part monkey.. It took me several attempts at assembling the back rest to the arm rests due to the instruction manual instructing you to 1st assemble the arm rests to the sides of the chair. Once you install the arms it's impossible to slide the back rest in between the arms for assembly. So to save you some time & excessive frustration I advise you to 1st install the arms to the back rest & then install it to the sides of the seat. Assembling took me about 30 minutes. I had to use my pliers to help assist in turning the Allen wrench. The screws fit awkwardly into the holes & it was difficult to turn without the assistance of pliers. Now onto my 1st impression once the chair is completely assembled & I sit in it for the 1st time. The seat itself is very cushioned & very big. So if you're a bigger person then this chair has plenty of room. There's nothing jabbing into my butt thighs or my sides. My personal dislike about the chair itself is that the back rest leans too far back. Even in the locked position with my back against the back rest I'm leaning too far back & it doesn't allow me to sit up comfortably with the back rest fully supporting my back. I'll have to purchase some kind of back support that can fit onto the chair so I can feel more supported while sitting up correctly in the chair. The arm rests easily maneuver up & down. I pull them up so the chair fits under the desk. Overall the chair is about a 75 out of 100% for quality.

Even though there were only a few screws to put in the holes didn't line up easily and the screws were barely long enough to hold.

It is comfortable which is why I got it but the screws holding it together popped out the cover and came loose after only sitting in it 3 times for 5 minutes each time. I am not happy.

Bought this for my son's birthday. He spends a lot of time PC gaming and needed a much better chair for spending hours everyday. He absolutely loves it. I'm impressed with how solid and comfortable it is and spins effortlessly. It's only been a few weeks so time will tell how the seat padding lives up.
