“Secret lab, Kaiser, and high end corsair chairs like this Tc500 are all good options that work just as well as office chairs.”
“The corsair seems like a bit more comfort oriented but version of the secret lab.”
“I wouldn't recommend it for people 6ft or taller.”
“That chair looks amazing”
“this chair is not bad at all and looks pretty comfortable and elegant.”
“Once you said “corsair” i was done. HARD pass.”
“tanto a EVO Titan Nanogen como a corsair fazem o seu papel para quem joga ou está sentado 3h a 4h”
“Had mine for about a month. Can't recommend it enough. Soooo comfortable and the lumbar support is so nice. Only complaint I could give is the armrests are quite far apart”
“It is very uncomfortable for long hours of sitting. I have it and though it looks amazing aesthetically it is not.”
“Overall the chair has given me some great support! I will say that it is a much firmer chair than a good chunk of other chairs I've tried - I personally love this”
“i tested this chair today it is okey but not ergonomic”
“The one common trend is most people think the arm rests are absolute trash.”
“pls help me i bought it yesterday and it cant recline up to 160° right now”
“The head rest pillow lands right on my neck being 6ft if i sit straight up. I don't really use it tbh. The rest of the chair would be plenty wide for you”
“Has all the features you need (built in 4-way lumbar, magnetic headrest, quality built) for a lot cheaper. Super comfy. The wheels suck but that's a $20 fix”
“Oh there are definitely better chairs for the price, but it is significantly more comfortable than any of my previous amazon chairs. I also prefer the aesthetic to any of the webbed ergo chairs on the market.”
“My back rest detached from the hinge part, that’s stitched on. This caused the whole back rest to flop back while sitting on it. I had the chair for 3 days and it broke on me!”
“I will say this one is much more comfortable. It has the adjusting lumbar support and much wider base of the chair”
“Really like the chair but prolong sitting generated a lot of sweat. 💦”
“it's very comfortable for the back, the seat is wide but on the stiffer side. The armrests are too far apart”
“I wouldn't pay the price tag for it on top of those stupid side bumpers. I really dislike and gaming chairs with those as it makes it very uncomfortable”
“Side bolsters need to go in these chairs, i dont need my shoulders more rounded forwards that they are lol”
“I was really impressed with the build quality and it's way more comfortable than my chair (secret lab)”
“I have this chair. Armrests sit too wide for me :(”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
