“I've had to warranty claim 4 times now on my chair. I use it every day for work. Both arm rests eventually split and fall apart. The base cushion had some metal band that came off inside the fabric and stabbed my leg. And recently the gas cylinder failed so the chair will go down whilst you're sitting on it.”

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

“Out of the box, a common complaint with the Secretlab Titan Evo is that the armrests are too far apart, even with the width adjustment.”
— Rhyme__Vigilante on Reddit
“When people say it's firm, it's pretty firm”
— phumanchu on Reddit
“I use it 8 hours a day, pretty much everyday for the last 6 years lol. We are build different”
— Lunartic2102 on Reddit
“I could have written this exact post. Re the armrests, I recently had cause to remove them and when I did I noticed that in addition to being able to adjust the width of them once installed, it was possible to move them to a slightly narrower position when attaching them to the chair.”
