What Gaming Chairs want to be when they grow up!
Ah yes, so you seek the secret key knowledge on finding the greatest office chair this side of Heaven? Look no further and gaze ye eyes upon it. Cause this is IT.
Throughout my many travels, I have gathered many a buttocks scaffoldings (11 different chairs so far) and this is by far the best, which is great since if I have to unpack, build, disassemble, repack and return one more chair I'm just gonna buy a stand up desk, or better yet, die.
Fortunately (or unfortunately for my detractors), I'll be keeping this chair since it has everything I need. It is very comfortable, feels high quality/durable (I don't know for sure since I've had it only for 3 days, and I have cats), supports my reverse hourglass figure very well and it ROCKS! (no really, it rocks, like a nice rocking chair should, that is if you want it to).
Building it took me 12 mins 34 seconds, but that's cause I've been building chairs part time for the last 3 weeks apparently. If you don't plan to compete in the chair building Olympics it should take you about 20 -30 minutes to complete. As an added bonus, this chair features really straightforward instructions, and small nice touches like labeling what parts are spares (so that at the end when you have extra parts you don't question your IQ) as well as the highly coveted and almost never included T-shaped allen wrench, which makes the process a breeze. PRO tip: don't tighten the armrest handles all the way before placing and screwing in the back, it'll make your life much easier.
For reference I'm a 5'11 guy, 275 lbs since I'm carrying quadruplets. My GF is 5'4 and 115 lbs and she found it so comfortable that she's also getting one, so that I can't lord it over her for the rest of Eternity.
Shipping said it would take two weeks to arrive, but it actually came in 3 days, so that was nice, and they used FedEx which is infinitely better than USPS, at least for the area I live in.
Downsides:
1. The plastic thingies that are supposed to aesthetically cover screw holes are rigid and you'll have a hard time putting them in without a hammer, and even then you might break them. I left them out anyway since it's not visible and makes for easier routine tightenings of the side screws.
2. If you're 5'11 like me (or as Tinder would describe it, inadequate) or obviously shorter, when sitting all the way back into the chair, your feet will quasi-touch the ground, but not with the supporting firmness that I was used to with other chairs, so if that's a big thing for you, this might not be the One for you. I rock in it a lot and enjoy my feet dangling even, so works fine for me.
Anyways, if you read all this, you might want to get yourself checked. I only wrote a review this pointlessly long because I am very pleased with the chair and I guess it gives me therapeutical closure after the longest journey of finding it. Point is, most likely, you'll love this chair.
I rarely write reviews, but when I do people tell me they look like I was paid by the company to write them. I wasn't. But KBEST, if you are reading this, you should pay me for doing this instead of work, or send me a free chair or something, or I'll have to get a second one myself.
