Before buying this chair, I had a 50$ one I found here on . Similar design, back with a little plastic lumbar support behind it, etc. It was so cheaply made that the parts barely fit and putting it together was a pain, and it was crooked by the time I was done. 6 months of use started affecting my back / ribs and as a software engineer who sits a lot I knew I had to replace it with something higher quality.
Combed looking through tons and tons of chairs in the 100-200$ range and narrowed it down to a handful. One nice 350$ ish one from Realm of Thrones which looks incredible, one at the exact same price as this one with way more reviews but less good-looking, and this one, which also looked incredible and was half the price of the Realm of Thrones one.
Pulled the trigger on this one and got it yesterday. Setup was super easy (10-15 mins), and I could already notice a huge difference in quality of the parts and sturdiness of the chair without even finishing setup, compared to my previous chair.
After setup, sat down for the first time and was so impressed. Its sturdy, doesnt creak or squeak, the shape of the back is perfectly crafted for great lumbar support and the gives just enough for a nice cushion on the back. Seat is very cushy and feels high quality. Height settings are smooth and adjusting how far it leans back (or locking it from doing so) is super easy. Arm heights are adjustable and feel solid too. Aesthetically, its far better looking than I thought itd be based on the pics here so Im stoked on it all around.
Great chair! My back is happier than ever.
Fantastic chair at a great pricepoint!
