I bought this chair for my music room and I wanted one that would be comfy and allow me to leave the arms off so I can play guitar sitting down. Installation took me about 20 minutes because I did not have to bother with installing the arms. The only part that was tricky was installing the headrest in the back-cushion. I was vigorously stretching and pinching the fabric to avoid tearing when zipping it up. I have strong hands, and I cannot imagine someone without decent hand-strength managing this. Mine was a humdinger to get in there without breaking it. Anyhow, I can now play guitar comfortably. It does lack lumbar support, but I can stick a lumbar pillow back there if I wanted to. As a gaming/office chair, it's OK, but gaming usually means long hours and better lumbar support would be critical for it. But still, great chair for the coin. I am pleasantly surprised.

Hello Chair Shoppers! Right before the pandemic, I bought a $50 chair from a large company the retails furniture. I won't mention any names, but they are a large Warehouse, specializing in Furniture, and they are American. Anyways... It was the cheapest chair there (but about $70), and, at the time, it seemed to tick all the boxes for what I needed. A couple of months later, I began working my day job from home, as well as another roughly 40 hours a week doing my second "job," solo game development. I ended up spending about 16 hours a day in that chair... upwards of 20... and I paid the price for it. I ended up with Hip Bursitis, and I've been walking with a cane for the last month or so, healing up. Obviously, the chair wasn't fully to blame. I should've taken more stretch breaks, excersized more, etc... Fast forward to the end of November (Right before the Hip Bursitis struck) and I mentioned to my mother that I was shopping for a chair. She ended up offering to buy me one for a Christmas present, and I decided to go with this Respawn Chair, primarily because of the inclusion of the FOOT REST (to put my leg up and stretch out throughout the day). When I got the chair, I was blown away. easy to put together, fantastic materials, and just head and shoulders above my old chair (granted, my old chair was the cheapest one I could find brand new). I am SO glad I upgraded. I love my new chair. A few days after purchasing, however, I cracked the Foot Rest a tiny bit. The jury is still out on whose fault it was.... but office chairs are pricey, and I figured I would take a stab at getting a replacement part. When I sent in the form to possibly get the Foot Rest part replaced, I was replied to immediately. Even though it was between Christmas and New Years, I received the replacement part within days. Dealing with Respawn has been a fantastic Customer Experience, and I couldn't be happier with my new chair. THANKS RESPAWN! Read more
I am 6' 4" and I am 240ilb and this chair feels good although I am quite tall with long arms & legs I was suprised this chair managed to still feel comfortable. It is well worth the money and it arrived in a week (even though I have prime). Building it was easy & they give you the tools needed. 30 mins laters the chair was built and looks great. Now 3 weeks later I am still happy and I wanted to address some other customers that said this chair come with a smell. I honestly have a very sensitive nose and this was NOT the case for me. I did smeel the new chair smeel but is wasnt bad at all & was gone in a day. The negative & one star off if for longer periods (being a big man) I feel the seat sometimes starts to bother me after 5-8 hrs but like I said it isnt a deal breaker as it doesnt happen everday and when it does I recline the chair and that goes away. I also notice that the arm get loose alot so I have had to retighten the screws 2 times on the left arm rest. Those are my only gripes with this product. It gets my seal of approval & is worth the $$. I highly recomend you get this chair (esp if you need a great comfortable chair that honestly at this price is the best made chair I have seen.)
