" ... Is good chair. ... Is good chair. ... "
" ... it’s so much more comfortable than the chair i used to have and for the price it has arms, a high back, and it’s height is adjustable which is hard to find for under 100$. ... After a year the padding in the seat is still good but i can feel the board underneath if i squeeze it with my hand. ... "
" ... Ever since I got this chair, my back doesn't hurt! ... I love the way it slightly reclines and the adjustable height on the hydraulics. ... The arm rest a adjustable as well. ... You can move them out the way or use them in a comfortable position. ... "
" ... The comfort level is pretty good too. ... "
" ... After a year and half usage, this chair feels like a decade old one. ... It is pretty comfortable for while and soon the cracks came in. ... "
" ... It’s so comfy and easy to assemble! ... "
" ... I wanted him to be excited for school and comfortable. ... The chair was easy to put together and OMG so comfortable. ... "
" ... Very comfy and easy on the back. ... "

" ... Update: 9/21 the back part of the chair broke so it keeps trying to fold in on itself. ... "
" ... This is a poorly designed chair that I do not recommend purchasing. ... "
" ... Holes were crooked making assembly near impossible. ... "
" ... Major complaints were that the fabric is over the spot where you screw in the arms. ... I had to balance the thing on my legs and basically struggle to get the arms on. ... Then when I put the back on, I had to stretch the arms that I had already assembled to get it on. ... "
" ... The chair is nice but I returned it because the seat goes flat and I ended up sitting on the hard seat plate. ... "
" ... After 1 month spring is dead, Seat is going down buy it self . ... "
" ... They all broke or caused pain to sit in for a long period. ... The arm rests are open air so your legs don't get banged when turning around. ... The blots have "Lock Tight" on them for non-squeak tightness. ... "
" ... It has holes and scratches. ... The bolts are in a zip lock baggy. ... "

" ... The seat has sooo little padding I do not recommend this chair. ... "
" ... The worst part about this issue is that the back piece is bolted to the arm rests - but when the arm rests can’t screw into the base, this whole chair is useless. ... "
" ... the products came in damaged, the holes didn’t lined up for assembling. ... "
" ... All the screws were tight and it looks like they came out of the bottom of the seat. ... "
" ... The blots have "Lock Tight" on them for non-squeak tightness. ... "
" ... Freaks my husband out he thinks it’s going to fall apart one day. ... Has been popping since assembly. ... "
" ... The tolerance of the fittings are so bad that it took me 30 mins+ to fit in and tighten one screw! ... "
" ... Difficult to assemble because the screw holes didn't line up for attaching the armrests to the chair, leaving 1 screw at an angle that wouldn't go in flush to the recess. ... "

" ... I needed a new chair for my gaming station/office at home, but I didn't want to break the budget, so I did some digging and landed on this chair. ... - The price is a good point for a racing-style gaming/office chair that won't cost you an arm and a leg. ... I'm not some steamer with a potential sponsorship on the line, so I don't need a $400-$500 chair just for PC gaming and working from home. ... If you can lean back while gaming or working, then the back of the chair is very supportive. ... "
" ... My son has been using it every day for gaming and also all of his distance learning school work. ... "
" ... I bought this for my office, not gaming. ... "
" ... I was needing a new chair for when I play video games. ... "
" ... For a cheap gaming chair this is what you'd expect. ... "
" ... LITERALLY but support is great and now I get a better view of my gaming set up ... "
" ... It is very comfortable and will be perfect for use at my son's desk or gaming. ... "
" ... I'm a video editor and gamer, this chair is perfect for long sits at the desk! ... "

" ... By the way it's a great price and worth it! ... "
" ... It is good for its price. ... "
" ... Worth it in my opinion. ... "
" ... The price isn't too bad. ... Just wait for it to go on sale below $100 otherwise full price is slightly above that which is still not bad of a price. ... "
