Pleasantly surprised
Update 2/17/25: The padding doesn’t feel as good/supportive as it used to; I hit the base pretty easily now when I sit down, but there’s still some support, it’s just not as sturdy as it used to be, so for long sessions I have to use a pillow or blanket for additional support/comfort. I use this chair daily, so I know that doesn’t help, but I expected it to be more durable. Another thing that drives me crazy (but it’s my fault for buying this chair) is the arms aren’t adjustable. You can move them back and out of the way, but you can’t raise/lower them. As a result, the arms will smack into my desk if I scoot in too close, so I have to take them out of the equation to be able to comfortably game/type at the cost of having no where to put my elbows. Again, that’s my fault for getting this chair without looking too deeply into the arms of it, so that’s on me.

UPDATE 10/25/25: I’ve used the chair for about two weeks now and I’m still pretty happy with it. It still annoys me that I can’t recline the back backwards, but I do appreciate that I can switch between rocking/leaning or sitting upright. The lumbar support is good, and I’ve learned you can actually adjust the headrest, so you can pull it up higher and not just tilt it to different angles. I did have someone else who’s way taller than me try it out, and he said it seemed okay, but he didn’t need to use it for long. I’ve sat in this chair for hours at a time for gaming, work, or casual use, and I haven’t had any discomfort outside of the standard tightness you get from being sedentary for too long.

I just received the chair yesterday and set it up yesterday (10/10/25). So far, I like it a lot. It was easy to assemble, it came with spare parts, and it’s surprisingly comfortable. My only minor grievance is that it doesn’t lock in different positions. You can unlock it from its fixed position and rock into different angles, but you can’t lock it back into a leaning back position or anything, which is a bummer. The cushion is a good thickness and I haven’t noticed any crazy discomfort so far. I’ll be spending an extensive amount of time in this chair next week, so I’ll update this review after that to let you guys know how it feels to be in it for prolonged periods. I’ve used it for several hours with no noticeable issues so far.

I will say that the quality also seems quite good. The chair looks good and it (for me) doesn’t produce any noise, it’s silent so far. I’m an above-average height woman (around 5’8″, or 172cm for those of you who don’t use Freedom Units) and I fit just fine in this chair. However, I don’t know how well someone else really tall would do in it. I’ll get someone tall to use it and see how it goes.

Another benefit is the width of the seat. I can comfortably sit crisscross-applesauce or with one foot tucked underneath me and I don’t smack my limbs into anything. The lumbar support (so far) is also good. Lastly, the chair also comes with a five-year warranty that you can sign up for, which will include 90-day returns and exchanges for free, as well as five-year maintenance coverage, which includes free part repair and replacement. I don’t see offers like that often, so I thought I’d mention it here. 🙂
