purchased this as a much needed upgrade from my previous chair. Full disclaimer, this is my first gaming chair so I don't really have anything to compare it with. TLDR: Overall a decent chair and ok for the price point. if the seat was more comfortable from the start then I would give higher rating. otherwise, i feel like it might be a long journey to break it in before it becomes comfortable. I purchased the black one which is a fabric material and looks different from some of the other colors which look like they have a 'suede-ish' material. the material on the black one is ok, not great but not bad. It by no means makes it less comfortable, it should hold up in the long run. comfort: overall okish, I do feel like its a bit stiff at first like other reviews mention however after using it for a few days (roughly 8+ hours p/day) it have noticed it has become slightly less stiff. I'm hoping that it just gets more comfortable the more I use it. It might take a while to fully break in. not squeaky compared to what other people are mentioning. a few minor things that I did not like: I feel like it has a limited range in height compared to other chairs as well as the adjustable arms. At its highest, I still feel like it's a bit low (I'm 5'7). I have an adjustable standing desk and had to lower it to about 28.5 inches and raise the armrest to the highest setting so that my hands/arms are roughly at the same level as the desk while using the armrest. Not that big of a deal since I can adjust the height of my desk but for others it may be a bit low depending on the height of your desk. when I work/study I like to sit upright. The description of the chair says It can be adjusted to 90 degrees. when I put my chair at a 90-degree angle the backrest seems to fall back a bit to the point where it look/feels as if I have the backrest leaning back a bit, probably around 100-degree angle. Not sure if its just a faulty backrest but even locking it in place doesn't seem to keep it at the 90-degree angle. lumbar massage is ehh, I dont feel like it should be called that since it doesn't really massage, if anything it's just a slight vibration. Also, It can only be used when plugged in, there is no switch to turn it on/off. the cable that it comes with is also not very long so If you plan on using it then you will need an outlet nearby. footrest: i am not sure how long the footrest should extend since this is my first gaming chair and first chair that has a foot rest. I am not very tall (5'7) and the edge of the foot rest goes to about the end of my calves. lumbar support and cervical pillow: both are actually pretty comfortable, more comfortable than the seat. working as intended. I have no issues adjusting the cervical pillow for my height. overall its a decent chair, not great but not bad. If the seat were more comfortable I would rate higher.
