I love the chair when I compare it to the U-line office chair I bought that went flat in 3 yrs. and had no upper head support. The Gaming chair seemed to be the better route to go for an office chair as I am a work-a-holic and am at the desk for 12 to 15 hours a day. I am interested in seeing how the bottom cushion holds up. I dig the high back support and the pillows are a very nice added feature. I definitely like being able to recline the chair and being able to lower the arm supports is cool I would have never thought mattered much to me but is a welcomed feature.

The chair is comfortable and meets my needs but I have several criticisms. First with respect to construction I found attachment of the seat back to be difficult due to difficulty in maintaining alignment of the screw holes. I had to do it alone. A second person's assistance to stabilize the back while I placed the four screws (2 on each side) would have made it easier. Even more difficult was attachment of the plastic hinge covers for the back tilt mechanism. The screws are very short and pressure is required on the covers to get them to engage in the hinges' threaded holes. It's difficult to line up the covers' holes with the hinge mechanisms' holes. I finally placed some blue painter's tape at the holes' margins on the hinge mechanisms so I could see the holes through the holes in the plastic covers. Finally the holes in the covers are recessed. To keep the screws on the Phillips screwdriver I used a little plumber's grease. This allowed threading without losing the screws in the covers and having to reposition everything multiple times. My second concern is the ability of the armrests to rotate in a horizontal plane. Motion is limited by click stops but rotation is too easy. Grabbing the armrests to move the chair or to get in or out of it too often results in rotation of the armrests and a need to reposition them. The armrests should have a lock on them to prevent unwanted rotation. Lastly the seat tilt mechanism is too stiff. The adjustment screw under the seat doesn't do much to manage the tilt tension. I will keep the chair because it is comfortable for my chronic back problems but any potential buyer should be aware of the issues I've outlined in this review.

I like it it’s comfortable and I really like the reclining feature. I’m 6’1” and wear a size 32” waist pant and have about 6” of space from the arms on the narrowest alignment from where they bolt on. Having said that the arms are a little wider than I would like but the swivel feature allows me to get my elbows on them comfortably.

I’ve owned similar higher priced gaming chairs and this one has the most comfort at half the cost. I work from home and can sit on this chair for 8 - 12 hours no problems. Was super simple to install with included tool. My only complaint is I wish the optional lumbar pillow would stay in the position i kept it in a little longer but it’s not a big deal. I highly recommend this chair.
