RESPAWN 110 Ergonomic Gaming Chair - Racing Style with 360 Swivel, Integrated Headrest, 135 Degree Recline, High Back

8-13-22I abuse this chair, and it just won’t die! I still love it!I have gained a bit of weight since I got this chair, but I have never stopped flopping into it full dead weight, and it always takes it with ease!I sit in it sideways with my head on one arm and my legs propped up on or draped over the other.I push against the back way harder than I should while seated to stretch out my back, it has never even hinted at slipping/breaking.My grandkids push each other around on our hardwood floors, spinning it roughly and intentionally into other furniture.The arms now wiggle a bit, and a screw fell off it which I could not ever figure out where it fell from; other than that this chair is flawless!The hydraulics still work flawlessly.The reclining mechanism still works flawlessly.The upholstery basically still looks like it did when it was new; and the cushioning is still cushiony.I rarely use the leg rest so it still functions as new.Highly recommend this chair!2-22-20I am still head over heals in love with this chair and stand by my original 5 star rating.My original concerns are addressed here:STITCHING - The stitching has held up beautifully! I am super rough on this chair, I sit cross legged on it while wearing Doc Marten boots with metal clasps and drag my feet across the seat constantly. The stitching has not been affected at all by this (nor has the PU leather for that matter).ARM STABILITY - A week in the right arm became wobbly, I discovered the screws were loose, tightened them and the arm has not wobbled since. NOTE: I am super rough on the right arm in particular. I often sit slightly sideways in the chair leaning my full 140 pounds against that arm, and in order to adjust the recline I have lean over the arm at the waist to reach the lever, again pushing against the arm with my full 140 pound weight.LEG REST- The leg rest is used frequently and I quite often forget to be gentle with it. Despite this the leg rest is no more wobbly than the day I put the chair together.This chair is proving to be a fantastic buy for the money, much better than I had even hoped! I would most definitely repeat this purchase!Original review follows:1-15-2020 The chair arrived right on schedule. I have been in possession of it for 3.5 hours, and am sitting in it now writing this review.Facts to consider when reading this review:> I am a 5'2" woman of average build - 10 pounds overweight is average right - in my 40's> I have very short arms> I have absolutely no upper body strength to speak of.> I am NOT A GAMER - I bought this chair for use at my writing desk and watching television> Any numeric ratings in this review are on a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the bestPACKAGING > RATING: 10 <> It was like Tetris inside that box, with each individually wrapped stuffed component, and two boxes of hardwarebeing separated by simple sheets of cardboard. There was absolutely no Styrofoam - it was beautiful!> Despite appearing like a tightly packed Tetris board I had absolutely no trouble getting everything out of the box,even with my complete lack of upper body strength.EASE OF ASSEMBLY > Rating: 11 <> From sealed box to fully assembled in about an hour> This includes unboxing, taking inventory, sorting and arranging the components in the order and groups theywould be needed > OCD what can I say <> I completed the entire assembly by myself, completed unattended with one exception:> I had boyfriend hold the back in place while I got the screws that hold it to the seat started - I only got themstarted enough to stay put, then sent the boyfriend away, but I could have done it alone if necessary> I could actually follow the instructions ... I am, unfortunately, stereotypically female when it comes tofollowing instructions that contain only pictures with no text at all - these instructions were over the top easyto followINITIAL INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY > RATING: 9.9 <> Every component, from the upholstered pieces to the washers in the tool kit, was in pristine condition> All joints and connection points were flawlessly aligned, smooth and sturdy> It is very visually appealing and identical to the images the seller supplied on it's page> NOTE: I did not use the wheels it came with as we have hardwood floors, so I had also ordered inline skate wheelsat the same time and used them instead - it should be further noted that the wheels appeared to be pristine andare being saved for use on another piece of furniture in the future> Loss of .01 in rating due to the thread used in the stitching looking thinner than I would expect for a chair of thisprice and quality design/manufacturing> It should be noted that I had read about feature on several "Top Ten Gaming Chairs of 2019" websites so I was notsurprised to note thisFUNCTIONALITY > RATING: 9.25 <> I cannot rate the wheels, as I mentioned earlier I have not yet used them. They were therefore completed excludedfrom the rating.> The seat is very comfortable, the padding is very firm, but gives just the right amount for me to feel like it stay comfy for a good long time - when comparing this note to other reviews remember I am 5'2" and about 130 pounds fully clothed> Due, I assume, to my size, I am unable to lower the chair! LOL Apparently I do not weigh enough to activated thehydraulics! LOL Being a little overweight, I was quite pleased with this discovery, but, to be fair no extra points were added to the rating for this.> The seat back contour was very well designed. Again, due to my stature - and I keep mentioning this because somany of the reviews seem to be written by big and tall men - it doesn't "hug" me like it is designed to do,HOWEVER, it is still quite comfortable. The contour was apparently designed around the center of the seat in aslope so that I can still feel the hint of the hug.> My feet do not touch the floor in the lowest position! LOL I knew from the dimensions that the seller provided onthe page that this would be the case. No points were deducted for this.> The arms that are mentioned in almost every review as being wobbly, are, at least at 3 hours into use not wobblingat all, but definitely feel like they could more secure.> This has been mentioned to varying degree in almost ever review I read and I visited and read reviews at four topten websites, Amazon, Walmart, Sams, Costco, and about a half dozen other random websites.> Loss of .25 in rating for mediocre arm stability> The lumbar support just got in my way. The seat back has enough of "bump" in just the right place for me. I amsaving it for possible later in the chair's life. No rating points deducted, this is just personal preference.> The head rest is nowhere near in the right place for me and I am not using it, although I am saving it for possible useon something else down the line. Again, personal preference, no points deducted.> The leg rest is an AWESOME FEATURE! It was most definitely a selling point for me.> The farthest edge of the leg rest falls at the very top of my ankle and is very comfortable. > I am 5'2" <> Engaging and retracting the leg rest is apparently a learned skill and at 3 hours in I am still a little stop and go.> No points deducted as I can tell it operator learning curve and not a mechanical problem.> In the retracted position the leg rest mechanism feels extremely secure.> In the engaged position it is obvious that the arms holding it to the underside of the seat are not as secure as theyshould be; enough so that I worry about accidentally putting too much weight on the leg rest and snapping thearms off their mount.> The arms are attached to the seat bottom much too close to the edge of the seat; if the back end of the armswere longer and mounted further back on the seat bottom they would be much sturdier.> Loss of 0.5 points deducted from the rating for insecure mounting of leg rest.> EASE OF CONTROL >RATING: 10<> Reclining and return action is very smooth with only minimal learning curve. I was a pro in less than a minute.> The Recline Lock and Height Lock controllers are just barely within my comfort zone of reach, I have to lean overthe side quite a bit to reach them. Furniture is not designed for short people, no points deducted.> I cannot speak to the wheels as I am not using them, and they were not included in the rating.OVERALL RATING: 9.85Please forgive any typos, I am sure I missed some. LOLI will come back in a few weeks/months with an update to this review,

Hello Chair Shoppers!Right before the pandemic, I bought a $50 chair from a large company the retails furniture. I won't mention any names, but they are a large Warehouse, specializing in Furniture, and they are American.Anyways... It was the cheapest chair there (but about $70), and, at the time, it seemed to tick all the boxes for what I needed. A couple of months later, I began working my day job from home, as well as another roughly 40 hours a week doing my second "job," solo game development.I ended up spending about 16 hours a day in that chair... upwards of 20... and I paid the price for it. I ended up with Hip Bursitis, and I've been walking with a cane for the last month or so, healing up.Obviously, the chair wasn't fully to blame. I should've taken more stretch breaks, excersized more, etc... Fast forward to the end of November (Right before the Hip Bursitis struck) and I mentioned to my mother that I was shopping for a chair. She ended up offering to buy me one for a Christmas present, and I decided to go with this Respawn Chair, primarily because of the inclusion of the FOOT REST (to put my leg up and stretch out throughout the day).When I got the chair, I was blown away. easy to put together, fantastic materials, and just head and shoulders above my old chair (granted, my old chair was the cheapest one I could find brand new).I am SO glad I upgraded. I love my new chair. A few days after purchasing, however, I cracked the Foot Rest a tiny bit. The jury is still out on whose fault it was.... but office chairs are pricey, and I figured I would take a stab at getting a replacement part.When I sent in the form to possibly get the Foot Rest part replaced, I was replied to immediately. Even though it was between Christmas and New Years, I received the replacement part within days.Dealing with Respawn has been a fantastic Customer Experience, and I couldn't be happier with my new chair.THANKS RESPAWN!

For the price, four stars. As an absolute, I'd give it three. This review might seem negative since it will focus more on what I don't like/didn't think about before ordering, but I do recommend this chair if you still want it after reading this. My main reference point is an Octane gaming chair I bought 20 years ago for about $80; this is intended to replace it.It looks nice, and the assembly instructions were excellent. Other companies could learn from Respawn. Absolutely no problems with assembly.BUT...The cushion really is as thin as it looks. I'm over 200 lb, and use this as an office chair so I am in it a lot, but a little more padding would be nice.The armrests are not padded nor adjustable. I bought some clip-on cushions. Note I needed to get longer ones - 11.5 inches. The armrest height is OK for me, but I'm coming from a chair that has armrests tops that slide for and aft, and rotate. I did not realize how much I would miss that.The casters are OK, but I do miss the smooth urethane scooter-style wheel from my old chair.The base is plastic, not metal. The chair is light, but I don't see it lasting 20 years.The material is soft fake leather. It is smooth and easy to clean, but coming from a fabric chair, this one gets hot during extended sessions.One concern i have is how much it squeaks already after just a few weeks of use. I have tightened the assembly bolts, but it still squeaks as much as the old chair it is replacing.Overall I don't like it as much as the chair it is replacing, but I am not in a position to spend hundreds of dollars on a chair to fix the issues I have. I am keeping it for now, but may save up for something better over the next few years.
