RESPAWN900 Racing Style Gaming Recliner, Reclining Gaming Chair, in Black RSP 900 BLK

Okay, I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this chair and it was such an incredibly difficult decision to make given all of the bad reviews so I want to address the pros & cons people have been posting in hopes of helping you reach a decision faster. So here it goes.- "easy to assemble" Yes, it was easy to assemble. I do not assemble things. I do not have much experience assembling anything and even I could figure it out. So if you aren't savvy like me, you'll be fine. It took me about 1 hour to assemble with no help in a small room with crummy lighting. If this sort of thing comes naturally to you then you'll have it done much quicker. The instructions are pretty clear and it was not frustrating like I thought it would be. 5/5 easy to assemble.- "Poor Quality" I'm surprised I saw so many of these comments? I've owned about maybe 3-4 gaming chairs now (including this one) and this one is by far the best quality. I mean, if you're looking for top notch the best in the biz something that will last +15 years then maybe you're looking for a $500+ chair. I plan to upgrade myself with a $500-$1,000 chair in the future but for the price I paid for this one? Oh my gosh. It's great. I don't need it to last forever because that's not what I'm paying for. 5/5 quality. Please note I just bought this chair about 3 weeks ago so it hasn't experienced it's normal wear and tear yet.- "a loud clunking noise when you lower the handle for the foot rest" For real? Lol Yes it does make a noise but it's really not loud and definitely not a dealbreaker. I would have missed out on a great chair if I didn't buy it for only that reason. 4/5 noise level I guess?- "uncomfortable" WHAT EVEN. I don't understand! I'm so comfortable! I work 10 hour days 5 days a week and have owned it for 3 weeks now. I am so comfortable it's ridiculous. My back pain is gone and I'm just overall satisfied with this chair. This is so bizarre to me because other people claim that regular gaming chairs (such as the last one I bought, KILLABEE Massage Gaming Chair) are more comfortable. Whaaaatttt. Gaming chairs like that don't even compare to this one. In my personal opinion, it's: regular office chair -> Killabee -> Respawn -> $500+ chairs or something in that order.- "not suitable for tall people" CORRECT. Yes, true. Okay, so here's a very important con: this chair is reallyyyy not suitable for tall people. I am 5'0. In other words, I'm really frikin short. The arm rest cup holder BARELY aligns with me. It's almost just perfect for someone my size. It's only a little bit off. And the neck support is, again, only a little bit off. I have to realign it every time I lay down but it's no biggie. HOWEVER, for everyone else who is taller than me (which is most people) I can definitely see why you would be uncomfortable in this chair. The headrest pillow isn't designed to move very far from its initial place so tall people can't adjust it to what would be comfortable for them (although you can remove the headrest altogether, so keep that in mind).- "back pain" As you can see from the picture I bought a lumbar support pillow and that did the trick. No back pain at all and I was having MAJOR back pain issues with my last chair. I also bought a seat cushion which helps out tremendously.- "the material will cause you to sweat" Yes. It does get hot, which is why I have a fan pointed at my face throughout the day. I was already doing this before I got the chair so it just became a habit but it seems to do the trick.- "no height adjustment" Correct. There is no height adjustment for the chair. This does not bother me. If it bothers you then you may want to look elsewhere.- "awful, not worth the money. I found holes" Honestly, I have no explanation for this. That's unfortunate. Maybe they got sent one that's broken? Mine came in with all of it's pieces and nothing is torn or broken.Overall I really love this chair. The best gaming chair I've ever owned. I do not use it for gaming. I use it for work since I work from home and I work 10 hour shifts so I do spend a large amount of the day in the chair and I feel perfectly splendid at the end of the day. If you are picky when it comes to gaming chairs and you need to be able to adjust the height, you need outstanding quality, you need it to be adjustable for a tall person then oh my gosh DON'T BUY THIS. You will hate it. If the cons I mentioned don't really bother you or if you are a woman/man of my stature (5'0, 140lbs) and are looking for a comfy chair that is worth the price THEN BUY THIS. It's perfect for you! I am so happy with this chair and if you are thinking it's too pricey. Nah, bro. Just do yourself a favor and buy it.Anyways, thanks for reading my essay. Have a good day!

I got this chair used and it arrived the very next day. The colors look great, the chair is comfortable and it feels good and sturdy, it makes almost no noise when spinning around and only small amounts when moving the legs out. It takes almost not effort to spin myself around but it also stays in place really well so far. And it was super easy to put together, with only minor issues getting holes to line up. These issues were easily fixed with an extra pair of hands (courtesy of my 7 year old daughter)All in all, it looks amazing, feels great, and came together super quick. It's the perfect chair for the gamer dad. The only thing I'll say is that if you're taller, it may not be the best. I'm 5'7 and it's perfect for me, but my brother is 6'0 and the legrest is too short for him.

Just assembled it and sat down. I bought mine to recline and watch movies. It should be good for that. I'm happy, but I'm gonna have to tweak a couple things and have a couple criticisms.Pros:- Very comfortable- Assembly was easy- It has a lever for the leg rest. Many chairs require you to push your calves down, making it hard to get up.- The recline can be set to many comfortable positions, not just "reclined or not reclined".- It looks great. If you get a black one it actually looks appropriate in your living room as a theater chair.- This is basically a whole new style of chair. As far as I know nobody else has anything like it... and it WILL be copied.Cons:- For me, the big one: For my height, the headrest pillow seems to be designed more as a "neck support". The back of my head is at the top of the chair which is fine, but the pillow can't go higher than my lower neck. Maybe that's the intended purpose, but it's not good when you're trying to recline and watch a screen, which is the whole reason you'd buy this chair. Going without the pillow isn't an option, but when it's in the natural position I have to look down my nose to watch movies, causing eyestrain. If the headrest goes behind my head it's much better but there's no way to hold it in place. Problem is, it's secured to the chair with stretching straps through the two holes, and those holes just aren't high enough. (And let's face it, the reason those holes are there is so that it looks like a racing seat, where those holes would be seat belt straps for a 4-point harness.) SO HERE'S MY SOLUTION: I'll go to the fabric store and get a little "extension" for the elastic strap. Hopefully I can get it in black. The strap will then go around the top of the chair, not through the holes. I'm 6'1", but even if I was 5'11" or maybe 5'10" I'd still have this issue. (Fun fact, 14% of U.S. men are over 6 feet tall.) This would be more fitting for me if the pillow could alternatively be supported with two straps which drop over the back, adjustable with velcro or snaps.- I was surprised that the knob on the leg rest lever is made of black painted wood, not plastic. Not a problem, but it popped right off. I'm going to use some epoxy to keep it on. It would probably stay on if I just tapped it on with a mallet, but I'll do it anyway.- The quality is decent, but it won't last 15+ years like a La-Z-Boy recliner. 2 years? Probably. 4 years? I think so. 6 years? Probably not. The frame is steel tubes, but not thick steel.- The leg rest mechanism gets a little "crunchy" as it moves to full extension. Upon inspection I see some flaws in the metal which will wear smooth over time so that's not a concern.- As others have noted, the vinyl (which is decent quality) will cause you to sweat in it. I wish they had one with fabric, at least on the seating surfaces. On the plus side this will be easy to clean.
