Arm rest cushions are completely indented and padding is not good. Only have had this for maybe 2 weeks now. Seat cushion is also not comfortable. Seat needs better padding.
Nice chair especially for the price. Took a minute to put together but I like it a lot. Some of those bolts are VERY hard to crank in with just the provided allen wrench.
It fits our space. It’s easy to lock in the right reclining angle. And the price made it a good deal. We’re very pleased with our purchase.

Not that great

The seat is too thin for longer sitting the leg rest part is too short to use properly for anyone not under 5’6” and the just generally kinda rickety and cheap feeling I wish I would’ve spent the money on a decent office chair and not a “gamer” chair that’s subpar for the price.

Decent Gaming and Office Chair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Emerge Gaming Chair is a decent chair but your mileage may vary depending on personal tastes and preferences. With a sleek look that doesn’t oversell the “Gamer Chair” ostentatiousness that some chairs lean into the Emerge is certainly an aesthetically pleasing addition to your game room. It features a rather nice mesh back for cooling an adjustable and removable lumbar support section and an interesting leg brace extension that can be folded out from under the chair to serve as a full footrest when extended. The bonded leather is pleasant to the touch and again aesthetically pleasing. The chair is solid easy to assemble (I so appreciated each step of the process being clearly separated into different bags) and swivels and moves easily. The chair is tall however and some might find it difficult to fit under most desks despite lowering the chair to its lowest setting with the adjusting levers underneath. Additionally the chair lacks any real resistance when you lean back in it: you can either lock the back into place solid or unlock it for completely free movement leaning forward and backward. When unlocked you essentially just fall completely back as opposed to some other chairs that have resistance. This might not be an issue for some but as someone who likes to rock and shift in my chair a lot having to lock it rigidly into place just doesn’t work for me. With a taller desk setup and less need to move about in my chair I can certainly see myself in it. For those for whom these issues are of lesser importance I would absolutely recommend this chair as a solid investment. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to try out this chair.
