Gaming Chair, Office Chair High Back Computer Chair Leather Desk Chair Racing Executive Ergonomic Adjustable Swivel Task Chair with Headrest and Lumbar Support (White)

I consider this the best starter racing style gaming chair you can get. They are all about the same size, so if you're on the fence and want to try it out before dumping a lot of money on a chair, I think this is a 5 star chair for that.

Overall I think these are also a bit better than the Amazon Basics mid-back or high back chairs, and I consider leather, even PU leather, much better to sit on than the mesh chairs that are popular. The problem with PU is it will always peel, there's no way around that, and it's only going to really last a few years. Mesh will last a bit longer maybe but isn't really that comfortable.

The super expensive office chairs that I've had at work I don't think are at all worth it. But even if you think they are, they are just a lot more expensive.

This chair is easy to put together, it takes about 20-30 minutes max and everything is easy to tighten with the included allen wrench. The covers you have to screw in, and I might recommend a regular screwdriver, especially for the deeper holes. There is no hole on the seat cushion for those cover screws, but you don't really need any since the screws are shallow and will screw into the brackets anyway.

The chair does smell. Some of it is probably polyurethane and some of it is probably the off-gassing. I'm sure it will go away after a bit, but be prepared for that. Some of the surfaces are also a little dusty, but I used a simple multi-purpose cleaner spray and it came right off.

Chair tilts a little backwards, but when you sit on it, it feels straight so I guess that's just how it's supposed to be. The back rest has a tilt/recline feature, which you activate with a lever on the right side almost exactly like a car seat does.

The included lumbar and neck pillows are filled with some cheap cushion material and covered also in PU leather. The higher end chairs will give you velour covered memory foam. You can also buy those for $30-50 if you really want to as well.

I would say if you like this style of chair, the next real upgrades are real grain leather and Napa leather options. That will set you back $500+ and $700+ and you can really only get them from Noble Chairs or Secretlab. I plan to do this for the Napa at some point, albeit they are out of stock, and chances are the price will get closer to $1k. I am not fully sure if those will last longer either, you might just be better off buying this chair every few years instead.

As I wrote above, PU chairs are all pretty much the same. The material really doesn't change. They all seemingly use a nylon base, PU leather, steel frame and foam for the cushions. This chair says it uses a shaping sponge, while the others say they use cold cured foam. The cold cured foam maybe is a step above, and the velour with memory foam pillows probably are too, but I'm not sure that it's worth the $300+ most of the gaming racing chairs charge. I seriously think once you start going above this price point at $100-120 or so, the next upgrade has got to be in the upholstery, and nothing else really will matter as much.

Overall I'd give this chair a solid 3 or 4, but for the right person it's a 5. That's the problem with the rating system, I don't know exactly what you personally are looking for. An inexpensive chair that will last a couple of years or more and is in this style, it's a 5 easily. If you're looking for really high quality, and it's just a step for you, maybe it's a 3 or 4. But at this price point I can't justify anything below 5 stars, so I give it a 5, and I urge people that want to try this style out to seriously consider grabbing this one first, if they can't test out a higher priced chair for awhile and don't feel comfortable just dropping a higher price amount without testing something.

Edit 1 Week: Smell was really terrible for the first 2-3 days, but then faded and is fine/gone now. Might not be a bad idea to let this air out a few days somewhere.

The arms got wobbly and I had to re-tighten the bolts. I had to do this two times. Not sure if this will be a continuing issue or not.

I'm still undecided whether I will stick with this or go for a better leather version. I really don't want to get another PU version, so for that I'll probably stick with this. But if I see a good deal on the real leather and napa leather options I'm leaning towards getting that, and giving this one to someone else as a gift.

My son saved his money and pooled money from his 10th birthday to purchase this chair by himself. No sooner had we pulled the trigger on the purchase and I began preparing him for disappointment. "Things aren't always as nice in person as they seem online" and "a lot of desk chairs are poorly made, especially in this price range--I know it seems expensive to you, but lots of nice office chairs go for three- or four-hundred dollars," etc.

It was also backordered and wouldn't arrive for almost two weeks.... yet it came nearly a week ahead of the estimated time. That was pleasant surprise number one.

I stuck with my theme: "it might have missing parts, or it might be ripped or stained or broken or the holes for the bolts and screws might not line up," etc.

Then we unboxed it.

Everything inside was very nicely packaged. Everything that could possibly dent or scratch was wrapped in foam. Everything else was sealed nicely in plastic. The bolts and screws were clearly labeled and included the Allen wrench/#2 screwdriver combo.

I persisted. "A lot of times, the places where the bolts go don't line up with the holes. And we're going to need to keep tightening the bolts every now and again to keep it from getting loose, okay?" He was fine with that.

We proceeded. The directions were clear. (Minor wonkiness from some oddly translated bits, but nothing too bad and there's very little that you can screw up here anyway. Most things only go on one way. The armrests were the only unclear part... but they turned out to be identical and interchangeable so there's no way to mess up their installation, either!)

Step by step, we put it together. The bolts lined up. Not only that, but they came with blue threadlocker on each bolt to help keep them in place for the long run. That was a very nice touch.

In the end, everything went together as it should in a perfect world, which seems very rare in my experience especially in products at this price point.

My son sat in it. It's a little big for him (definitely an adult-sized chair) but it still works and he's only going to keep growing, so I consider that a plus. As stated in the description, it's PU and not real leather, but it is really well done PU, I must say. Not only does it feel more like leather than most, it doesn't smell bad, either. No smell at all, no need to air it out.

I really have nothing negative to say about the chair. Reading back over my review, it sounds like I'm getting paid or reimbursed or something, and all I can is... I wish!

My son definitely thinks I'm crazy for preparing him for a let-down. Maybe the next expensive thing he saves his money toward will be a piece of junk, and then he'll see! This chair, however, is amazing and I would 100% recommend it for anyone from age 10-110. If you're on the fence about this chair, I say go for it. There are lots of junky chairs and desks and furniture out there, and a chair from "Homall" (really Furniwell who apparently sell under many names and use Gmail for their email account) didn't inspire confidence... but if I ever somehow find myself in the market for a gaming chair (or perhaps whatever else this company makes) I would start my search with them for sure.

This chair is quite soft and very comfortable.

Positives
*Cushion is soft, leathery feel. Adjustable height, and you can add the lumbar/head pillow rest if you desire.
*Colours are AMAZING. I ordered the Green and Black, absolutely loving how they pop and add to the set up I have.

Negatives
*Quite heavy (around 60 lbs?) when it is in the box, I live alone and even though I chose to have it delivered to my back porch (for safety, and also to make it easier for me to slide into the house) FedEx still disregarded my delivery instructions and put it on my front porch. I had to struggle getting it from the front to the back of the house but I managed. Just be cautious if you don't have anyone to help you move the box to begin, it is cumbersome.
* I'm not the smartest person but I assumed I could put together a chair. I was -wrong-. Please, please, please find the instructions faster than I did. They are put in with the cushions, so make sure to open everything and lay it out. My biggest complaint was how hard everything was to put together but that is just me not being handy and thinking I can do things myself. I ended up getting it all put together (and correctly it seems!) but it did take about two hours. The instructions are clear up until a point, and the QR Code for the Video in the instructions doesn't take you to the video, just to the companies YouTube where you have to actually find the video instructions you're looking for. All said, I wish it was the instructions had been in their own individual package or just placed in the box instead of in a random area not knowing they are there. If you're handy, you'll be able to build this thing no problem, but if you're not make sure you just read through everything slowly and you'll be able to get it built. It might take two hours like me but you got this!!

Overall, I love the chair and I am so glad I bought it. If you're looking for a soft, comfortable chair that you can adjust to your needs, I don't think you can do much better than this.
