First off, let me say I love the chair well enough; that's why I gave it five stars and I'm on my third one. That being said, let me tell you why I'm on my third GT Racing Gaming chair. I made a video real fast here in my bedroom, please excuse the mess as I did not plan on this review, but I felt the need to share what I know with everybody. It's in the video but I'll explain it here just the same. To sit up fairly straight, you put almost no pressure on any part of the chair. It'll go for years if all you do is sit in it. However, for the recliners out there, this is important and I highly suggest you watch the video for more specific visual points. There is a metal frame in the back portion of the chair (likely throughout the entire thing, actually) but this metal rectangle is only supported from the chair in one pinpoint location: right under the lever that you pull to recline. So, in your head, imagine the physics of this. You're sitting up straight and putting no pressure on the metal frame underneath and behind you. Then you decide to recline so you pull the lever and lean back. This is a quick action that we all know from other chairs and think little of it so we pull, lean back, and let go of the lever. Just think about the physics going on here now. You're leaned back so quite a bit more of your body weight is pushing down on this seat back that is now secured at only the bottom right corner. It holds well enough, after you've assembled the chair and get satisfied that you've tried it out enough. You haven't. It takes months. Rest assured that this metal rectangle behind your back can only take so much of this pressure leaning backward while attached at one single corner. Your weight will slowly push back on that metal frame and it will bend a bit near the lever that you pull. As time goes by, you will notice the back of the chair will wiggle forward and back a bit, but not much, and you begin to wonder why. This is the beginning of the end and you have mere weeks before it blows out completely. Why nobody else has said this is beyond me because I've experienced it two times now, in the same exact spot, but I have purchased yet another. They are comfortable and I have lower back issues so the included lumbar support pillow (as I can tell you from my personal experience) works quite well. The top pillow is not a head pillow so much as a neck support and it works too. The cheapness of the armrests just can't be fixed for you. Personally, I noticed the bolt holes were the same on every brand of chair like this so I found a $400 gaming chair in the trash behind a gaming arena and took the armrests. You will have hundred dollar chair armrests, and they are very similar, but I have $400 gaming chair armrests on my GT Racing chair, lol. They're just better. The included ones truly suck, they feel sooooo cheap. Anyway, watch my video. All the others are just fluff made by people that were paid to say those words. I was not. This is the truth! Read more
