Initially worried about the reviews I've read about the arm rests and some other things, and the price almost pushing me away from buying this chair. Finally pulling the trigger I can say with confidence they either fixed what people were talking about with the arm rests (made them closer to the chair and more adjustable) or people just expect a love seat or couch. The chair is perfect, not a single problem putting it together, I had it together in 20 mins. The chair is extremely solid and doesn't squeak at all. not only does the back of the chair recline super far like most gaming chairs, it has a separate paddle to set how far the base (place you're butt goes) reclines back to avoid having to sit back against the chair using you're weight to recline which is a massive bonus for me. some chairs require weight to recline but without being locked this chair reclines with ease. The adjustability of this chair is everything you would need. I work from home and this chair keeps me comfortable all day and all night for gaming sessions. Its a stiff chair but not too stiff, Stiff in the best way. when I first sat in it I was concerned it was going to be too stiff but after pulling 6-8 shifts for 2 weeks without standing up during, it has kept me comfortable and with 0 pain compared to my last gtp office gaming chair. after returning my Secret labs titan due to discomfort, I went from a 300$ gtp office chair to this. It has all the features you could need whether you are strict about posture, or you just wanna sit back drink a beer and watch movies or even console game its perfect. I wanted to stick to a gaming chair style but have that lumbar support and some other stuff. and I found it all in this chair. I'm 6,2 at 215-225 pounds. chair fits me perfect. I would 100% recommend trying it out if you want all the features in a gaming chair, while still keeping as much of that ergo you can with the style of chair. the pillow is actually super soft and squishy too. Its actually comfortable to use compared to other brands with really stiff pillows more for look. The chair looks leather in the mock ups, but its far from, its hard to explain, it's sort of a matte leather underarmor t shirt material. smooth and grippy but not sticky like leather. that may sound weird but in my opinion its the perfect material for a computer chair. its almost like a smoother suede material. Only negative I guess I would give them which wont effect anyone using this chair on carpet, is the wheels are pretty stiff if you dont have the weight of the chair on them. they wont freely spin if you flick the wheel with you're hand but they spin just fine. definitely not a hard floor friendly wheel, which I don't know of much other then buying roller blade computer chair wheels for commercial office spaces. all in all doesnt effect me all and the chair moves just as easily as any other on carpet. TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS IVE SEEN PEOPLE ASK ONLINE... 1. you cannot feel the diamond stitching at all on your back even after long sitting sessions. 2. the arm rests are more adjustable then secret labs and the gtp office chairs and not too far away from the chair (anymore?). 3. the price is steep until you feel the quality and durability of the materials they use, the weight and thickness of all the bolts, plastics, metals and fabrics show the quality. 4. how does it compare to secret labs? in my opinion the secret labs are super over hyped and over priced, yes they last a long time. but in my opinion they are super uncomfortable. for 150$ less then the titan, this chair takes the cake. All in all this chair is a 10/10 FOR ME. I know chairs fit everyone differently but I found the only chair I'm going to be sitting in until the tc600 or up comes out! sorry for the all over review if you made it this far, I just had all these questions when I was buying and I think this wraps up most of them. 500$ is alot for a chair but this is 500$ well spent in my book. I posted pictures I thought would best explain the chair. there is simply not enough reviews or info on this chair online yet with this model being less then a year old and being expensive I hope this helps you! cheers and good luck on you're chair hunt. p.s I am not sponsored by corsair although I wish I was, I just really like the chair :)Leer másLeer menos

This is is such an upgrade from my last sub $100 chair. The adjustable back support is worth the cost alone. I was hunching over in my last chair and now my posture is correct. These chairs are made of soft fabric. I am 5’4 and it adjusts to my height. There is a qr code for build instructions on the top of box when you open it. The arm rests can be adjusted multiple ways. There is a tab on each arm that lets you move them up and down. I didn't notice this at first, so I couldn't reach the arm rests till I moved them up. The box is very heavy and very large. You will need 2 people to pick it up or you can turn it on its side and roll it like i did if you don't have help. Cons: The fabric has a break-in period and might feel stiff at first, but it will adjust the more you use it. I recommend getting a memory foam cushion if this bothers you. There is a primer-like new smell but will go away in a few days. You might want to open a window during this period if it bothers you. Since the arm rests move if you pull on them, I recommend grabbing the wings near the top of the chair to move it.Leer másLeer menos

First I want to start off by saying I really wanted to love this chair so badly! I was so excited to buy this and get it into my office setup, but it really fell short of expectations. The 3 star rating is for the $550 price point - I was able to get it on a considerable sale, so for the price of about $300 it’s more worth it and would give it 4 stars but I cannot recommend this chair at full price.Cons:- My office does get warm with my gaming computer and this chair absolutely gets hot after sitting for a couple hours compared to my old mesh one, not sweaty but uncomfortable.- The back has awful padding. The lower portion with the adjustable lumbar feels like a rock pushing into your back if you actually use it so I have to keep it almost all the way depressed. Then right where it transitions from the diamond stitching to the flat part where the wings are, it’s like there’s a metal rod going across (likely the top of the adjustable lumbar thing) but man it’s really not comfortable to lean back into or use that fully reclined position. So overall the lower back is really hard, then there’s this middle that’s extremely plush, and then at the top middle back below your shoulder blades it’s hard as a rock so it’s unfortunate. Not as comfy as most good reviews make it out to be but it’s also not unbearable just being picky due to price point.- It squeaks!!! I was hoping a few of these reviews were just a couple bad batches but nope. Same thing others have said, right where the metal hinge is on the left side, if your sitting and using the rocking feature it creaks and squeaks every time you rock. Thats something that was just fully unacceptable for a chair at this price.- The hip bolstering really digs into the sides of my legs if man spreading and hurts after a while.- Overall the chair just doesn’t seem too sturdy/stable on the base. It has a fair amount of play when moving around but again not the end of the world it’s still fairly solid.Pros:- The bottom cushion is actually really comfortable for me sitting in it all day long even though it’s more on the firm side. It’s also big so even at 6’2 with all height in my legs I can kick a leg up.- While the backing is annoyingly uneven, I think it promotes much better posture than my other chair.- It looks just so good!! and it is definitely made out of good premium materials, I do see this chair lasting a long time!- Building it took maybe 15 minutes and you really don’t need any instruction, it’s common sense for anyone who’s ever put something together.- The pillow is so comfy!- While the wheels are stiff, and the chair is heavy I was worried about how it rolled on carpet but man it’s a breeze! It rolls really well around the room on carpet.- For the most part it’s a chair that I can sit in all day and it’s comfortable. The backing is borderline making me want to return it, but I got a great discount so I’m sticking with it.- Oh and the arm rests! At 6’2 I have longer arms but what… they are perfect for me. They aren’t too far forward or too far back at all. That’s why they have the 180 design if you want to get closer to your desk just flip them around and scoot up!Overall, again don’t buy this chair at full price you’ll likely be disappointed as the creaking and the back padding are my biggest complaints. If you can get 40%+ off it’s more worth it but be warned if you’re looking into something that’s plushy. It’s very firm. But it’s really pretty to look at!Leer másLeer menos

I have had a Secret Lab chair that I have been using for work for the past 6 years and have had my share of issues with it (their warranty is a joke). When I had to return to the office and took my Secret Lab back, I needed a chair for home. I refused to pay over $500 for a new chair. I looked into this one and got it around Christmas time for $250. At that price, this chair is a phenomenal value. It is a little smaller than my Titan XL but accommodates my 6-ft 280 Lb frame without complaining. It looks awesome. The green that I have really feels like a master chief OD green. (I'd love to embroider a Chief helmet on the back). The adjustment of the lumbar is great and I was able to make it more comfortable and supportive than my Secret Lab. My only gripe is the armrests don't lock into place. While they are great for their adjustability and range of motion, they can easily move when you are adjusting or really "in the zone." That's really the reason for 4 stars because the armrests are what you interact with the most after the seat itself.Leer másLeer menos

Had this thing almost a year now with about daily use. People are right saying it's stiff. It's well made with nice materials but really lacking in cushioning. The recline and rotating/extending arm rests are nice but it doesn't make up for the low comfort overall. For the price you can definitely find something more comfortable, but if you need something presentable and you're not sitting in it for 8hrs a day it's decent.Leer másLeer menos
