This one doesn’t come with the lumbar support but I just stuffed a small pillow. This might bug people.
Seats feel stiff yet cushioned. They feel like they won’t collapse after a year of use. Good for me but other might want to opt for a softer cloth seat.
Mesh back is very nice and keeps my back cool.
I like how the seats are kind of short so my calves don’t hit the seat. I am 5’10, 190 lbs.

First of all, it has raised sides on the seats which make it very narrow, even for me and i’m not that big. Other issues: Lumbar rest isn’t adjustable at all. It can be raised up and down but there isn’t any mechanism to actually hold it up..meaning it will just fall down again wherever it likes. The mesh back doesn’t really support your back much at all. If you try to remove the lumbar pillow and use the chair you will be reclining too far back which defeats the point of a gaming chair. Also, the armrests are ridiculously far forward making them pretty much unusable. And they adjust..farther forward from there instead of back for some odd reason. And another thing……you can’t use the chair without tilt lock on, because THERE IS NO TILT TENSION ADJUSTMENT. So if you turn tilt lock off and sit back the back will just recline down to 45 degrees….

This chair is excellent, except for a problem with the built-in “lumbar pillow”. This lumbar support is located inside the seat, and seems as though it should be able to be adjusted manually. However, mine doesn’t stay in place or maintain the angle I try to set it at, rendering it completely useless. No matter the height or angle I try to put it in, it just falls down to the bottom of its base and stays there.
I guess I’ll try an external lumbar pillow, but I feel like with the way the back of this chair is designed it won’t work very well. I wish I would have spent the extra $60 to try a DXracer instead.

The major boomer is that the lift stopped working. I cannot adjust the height. Another thing, it is not breathable. Aside of that, it’s pretty comfortable. But I got this chair in August for my husband who was deployed in Japan, came home for 2 months, and left again for 6 months. The chair has not gotten much use, until I started working from home a month ago. 🙁

I bought this based on a review from a PC Gamer article I read online, naming it their #2 best chair of 2018. They stated it was one of the most comfortable of all the ones they tested, and I liked that it had a mesh back, as I’m in Florida and it gets pretty dang hot in the summer.
Assembly: Pretty easy. You get a single page for instructions but there’s only about 18 or so bolts to put in. Hex/allen wrench is provided, which is nice because it’s tall enough to clear the mechanism piece when you have to attach it. Total assembly took me maybe 30 minutes.
Comfort: OK, this chair so far is rather uncomfortable for me. But that’s my fault for not researching the size, I guess. However it’s not listed ANYWHERE on this item’s page. I’m about 6′-6’1″ and a bit overweight at 255-ish. I was going off the 275lb weight limit thinking it would be big enough. Not so much. Unless I slide forward to the front of the chair, which totally negates any lumbar support, I’m uh… crushing some important things. It presses in sharply on the sides of my thighs and is almost painful. The chair is aggressively bolstered on both sides and there’s absolutely way to adjust that. So I’d say you probably want to be well under 200lbs and probably no taller than 5’9″ to be able to fit in this chair comfortably.
Conclusion: If you’re 5’9″ or shorter and at a healthy weight for your size you’d probably like this chair okay. I’d return it if I could. Build quality and ease of assembly is fine. But, right now it hurts me to sit at my desk. So that’s no good. Maybe it is… but I don’t think a chair companie’s marketing policy should be “So uncomfortable you will take your fat arse outside and go get some exercise!”.
If I hadn’t put on 30 pounds in the past year it might be passable. In hindsight I wish I forked out $200 more for a Secretlab Titan, which is designed to fit larger people over 5’9″.
(Edit: Amazon accepted my return, which I greatly appreciate! Disassembling it was easy enough and it all fit back in the box well enough. I ended up ordering a SecretLab Titan, which is better for my figure.)

Great chair! The assembly wasn’t TOO hard except for one thing. There’s this metal part that holds the back of the chair to the bottom part. The problem was that on the part of the chair with the elevation control, the spot for the screws for the connector between back and bottom wasn’t threaded. So when I threaded the screws as shown in the instructions, it would just fall off. I ended up hand tightening each of the screws from the opposite direction so the end of the screw was in the threaded portion. Be prepared to be creative in your assembly. I also had one screw that for whatever reason would not go all the way in but it was partially redundant so I’m not too worried about it. Great chair with excellent recline though!

Mi esposa uso la silla por un lapso de 30 días, y el amortiguador de aire no funciona, ya se desarmo la silla y sigue sin funcionar. Una pena que sea de tan mala calidad, por que la silla es cómoda.
