What's great about it: Style/Looks, Arm rests, Speakers, size, easy setup
What's not so great: Seat needs more padding and no lower back support
OK, this is one of the first reviews I've done so bear with me. My wife got me this chair for Christmas after seeing me sit on our coffee table for hours! She researched a lot of gaming chairs and felt it was the best chair for a guy my size (6'3" 220 lbs) and she was right! When it comes to gaming chairs size DOES matter. Let's review in order of the rating categories...
Value of price: I gave this category an average rating because for $250 it should automatically come with the wireless connection parts. You open the box, get it assembled and then find out you're limited on where you can place the chair because you're connected by audio cords. You have to buy the wireless parts for an extra fee. I also had to add a couple big metal washers to the headrest tightening knob because of a design flaw that doesn't allow the knob to be tightened all the way down so the headrest ends up falling without them.
Appearance: I rated this category as excellent because the chair is not an eye sore like those cheaper, sit on the ground L-Shaped gaming chairs. The padded arm rests and chrome give it a look that allows it to blend more with your other furniture. You could even use it for extra seating at a party!
Comfort: This is where the chair really falls short for me. The curve of the chair does not provide much lower back support so after about 30 minutes you start shuffling your butt around trying to get more comfortable. Maybe it's just a "big guy" problem but the seat itself needs more cushion. For a chair that was designed for gaming (come on designers! You know people are going to be sitting in this thing for hours!) they definitely skimped on the padding. Now I'm gonna have to look for something that can provide more padding under my bum without increasing my height thereby blocking the speakers that currently rest just above each of my shoulders.
Durability: I rated this category as excellent because when I was putting it together (and the subsequent hours of game time) with a big guy like me I was very impressed with it's sturdiness. It appears very well constructed, quality materials (except the cushioning) and went together very easily.
Overall I gave this chair an "AVERAGE" rating. If it came with the wireless parts and had better padding in the seat it would get a good+ rating.
Hope this helps everyone!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The look
What's not so great: The feel
The chair looks great, is easy to assemble and seems to be built to last but the head rest sticks out past the back of the chair about six inches pushing your head/neck to bend forward...very uncomfortable. I don't see how anyone could sit in this chair comfortably. If you are under 6' you may be able to leave the head rest off but the chair has no back support and the padding is thin and hard. The whole feel of the chair slightly leans forward. If you are going to stick this chair in a corner for looks its great but to use it is just asking for neck cramps and back pain.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Sleek look, very easy assembly
What's not so great: NOT ENOUGH CUSHION IN THE KEYSTER AREA.
I bought this chair with great anticipation. Overall I am pleased with the look and easy of assembly, but if you are a gamer such as myself, I run 10+ hour marathon sessions of CODMW2 and my back side is very sore because there is just not enough cushion in it.. My wife said the same thing after only sitting in it for around 30min so it is not just me. I give the chair itself a B-, but server from BB was great as usual.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
