I'm a much larger man than this chair is rated for so I'm reserving judgment on it for now. This Emerge chair so far is comfortable The finish is good and it doesn't make the back of my legs sweat which is nice. The height and width are great very nice design there. I don't use the flip up arms much because I don't need to but it is a nice feature. I am 6'3" weight 325 and I am a bit worried about putting much weight on the arm rests but need them because of several back surgeries. I need them to rest some weight on because of my spine issues. So far so good. I know Staples rated the chair for 250 pounds but when I looked on the website they were 275 so there is some cya going on there. I don't blame them there and gives me hope that this chair will last awhile. I like it and would recommend it to others so far!
I am not a gamer but this chair works very well for me as a computer desk chair. It supports my back and allows the keyboard to extend onto my lap.The ability to raise the arms gives me more freedom to type and does not require me to lift my arms to armrest level. If a person has a back problem this seems to work well.
The chair is comfortable but the casters don’t swivel well on a hard surface like a chair pad and there is a considerable amount of wobble where the seat attaches to the height adjusting piston. If it were a cheap chair that would understandable but that isn’t the case.
