I've had several office chairs and none have ever been particularly spectacular. The Emerge Vartan Gaming Chair is no exception. It's a quality chair by all means and it was relatively easy to assemble. For me (5'11") the lumbar pillow constantly slid too low and the neck pillow hits the back of my shoulders unless I lift it up (but it will slide down again despite a tight elastic strap). The arms turn out so they are not particularly in the way though my previous chair (Emerge Vortex) had arm rests that lifted up and got out of the way entirely (but did not articulate). The reclining function is actually quite nice for a quick stretch or nap but I would not use it for an extended period of time unless I was in VR or otherwise had a screen in front of my face. Overall very pleased with the purchase. Looks good so far the cushions have held up and the casters are particularly nice as they are rubber-coated (compared to most other chairs with hard plastic casters).
This chair is more comfortable than I thought! I'm a big guy so I was a bit worried (6'2" north of 250). Setup was easy too. Seems to be well-constructed and sturdy. I recommend it.
