We got this gaming chair for our 13 year old son and he loves it! It is big enough to work for him for years to come. He uses it at his computer desk and really enjoys it.

I bought this for my teenage daughter due to online schooling this year. It was very easy to put together. It has neck and back support like no other desk chair I have ever owned. I may buy myself one of these chairs.

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.
