GTRACING Fabric Gaming Chair, Ergonomic Racing Style Reclining Computer Chair (Without Footrest, Black)

Update 9/16Everything still seems pretty great. A little creaking here and there. A quick bit of maintenance in tightening a few fasteners. Cushions are broken in nicely. I spend several hours a day in this chair comfortably. It is still quite hard to lean the chair back. I'll need to focus on breaking that part of it in.Update: 8/1Everything is holding up quite well, the cushion on the bottom has broken in a little bit, but it definitely has not flattened out in any noticeable sort of way. There are a couple of things to note though, 5 weeks later.I did have the re-tighten the bolts going into the chair back after I spent a few hours with the seat back reclined. Nothing major, just 1/8 of a turn, but as I said, I'm now 293 pounds, so that's to be expected. Next time I have to tighten them up, I'll put some LocTite on the threads.The other thing is that the resistance to rocking back is still quite high. I expected I'd have broken in the spring by now and it would rock without much effort. So far this isn't the case. I'm certain it'll become easier at some point, but for now it's considerable effort to rock the chair backwards.Still very VERY happy with the purchase.Original Review:So, this arrived 6/26 despite an estimated delivery range of 7/1 to 7/8 so that was a very pleasant surprise. Delivery via FedEx was superb.Everything was packaged nicely. Everything inside was secure, and nothing was damaged. Instructions were included and were very well done, no vague photos and poor translations to be found here. All parts were accounted for, and all the screws / caps etc were packaged separately and labeled clearly. It really made it a breeze to make sure I had everything needed before I got started.Assembly was, for the part, easier than I've experienced with other similar products. I will say, one of the sides of the backrest, the holes to attach to the bracket were misaligned. It wasn't huge, I didn't strip screws or skip one, but it took a significant amount of struggle to force things to line up long enough to start the screws properly. Other than this small issue, the rest of the assembly was quick and easy. I am experienced with building things and had I not struggled with that alignment issue I'd have easily been done in 15 minutes or less.On to the good stuff. I am 6'3" and 302 lbs as of writing this. I find the chair to be incredibly comfortable and ergonomic. With typical racing style chairs, the side bolsters and bolsters on the seat bottom tend to dig into my ribs and thighs respectively. I selected this chair because seat cushion didn't appear to have high bolsters and the measurements were generous. I wasn't disappointed. I can sit basically spread legged and my thighs don't have bolsters digging into them, and I don't even hit the arm rests.I saw some reviews mention poor cushion on the bottom. It's quite comfortable for me, but it is quite firm. This means it should last a while, but if you're very light weight it may feel a bit too firm for your taste.The arm rests are awesome. They look in the photos like they're hard but they're cushioned. Comfortable. The levels of adjustment up and down are wide ranging. When you attach them to the seat there is about 3/4" of adjustment room in or out. This lets you set them a bit further apart if you are a larger person like myself, or inside if you aren't. I attached mine very wide, but ended up having to move them in closer anyway. I didn't need the extra 1.5" after all.The lumbar and neck pillow honestly feel a bit cheap. Certainly not the same material as the rest of the chair, but they do their job for sure. The lumbar pillow is quite firm and the neck pillow is quite soft. All in all, nothing to complain about.The fabric is much more breathable than the PU leather on my previous chair. Visually it looks great, the casters are smooth, the recline function works well, and the adjustment for the rocking feels really good.All in all, I was skeptical about buying a gaming chair at this price point. They tend to get squeaky and start coming loose quite quickly, and being as heavy as I am (even heavier when I bought my previous chair), the cushion tends to wear quickly. I will continue to update this review once a month for the next 6 months. Will give a good idea on how well it ages that way.

let me continue my analogy. secret labs is to intel as this chair is to AMD. before i get to specifics i just want to say, in short, i would recommend this product to gamers, office workers, really any one looking for a solid chair to spend a lot of time in/on. now to my thoughts- yes this is not a secret labs. but look at cost/performance. secret labs minimum, 400$. ETA shipping 3-4 weeks (the one i wanted wasn't shipping until sept.11) with high quality comes wait times and premium prices. my roommate has a secret labs so i have 1st hand experience with the product. HOW EVER when you compare this GTRacing chair, it's a no brainer which one you should choose. for less than HALF the cost you get 95% of the performance of a secret labs. this is not the best chair on the market. This is a chair that gives Excellent performance at a very reasonable cost. the most notable difference would be the arm rest do not swivel, they raise and lower of around 4-5 inches in height, but no sliding them forward or shifting them back, and no side rotation. thats the 5% difference. lets get into what i like about the chair. its great value. the material feels high quality and very durable. i went with the cloth as ive had issues with the faux leather from other brands. assembly was very easy, instructions were clear and took 45 minutes from start to finish. the 2 pillows that came with it are soft, yet supportive. the wheels and bearings are very quiet, not something you hear mentioned often. i play on carpet so the rolling sound isnt apparent, but to people who using this on a hard surface will have no issue wheeling around, gliding smoothly across the floor like a slab of butter sliding down a pile of flapjacks. the chair seems kinda stiff but most furniture is the first few days. there isnt much i dont like about it, i knew the arm rest didnt swivel so i wasnt disapointed by that in any means, and if you could build chairs like PCs i dont thing arm swivel is worth 200$ extra . all in all its a great buy. now here are some more thoughts/ things about me because when reading reviews its important to know whos reviewing it. a 6foot4 350lb dude is not going to have the exact same thoughts on a chair compared to some one like me, im a 5foot 11inch small lanky 130lbs soaking wet 24yr old so i cant speak with how this chair would be for people of normal weight. i can tell you that with the chair seat fully raised my feet barely fully touch the ground so i assume people of great height would not have issues with this chair. the chair seems very sturdy and durable but im not really the type of guy to be testing that. as i dont think im at 1/3 of the chairs maximum weight capacity.

This chair is an amazing budget gaming chair compared to most of the name branded ones. Im a big guy, 6'4", and 300lbs and this chair fits me really really well. The Best part personally is the lumbar pillow, Its a little bit harder than the headrest pillow, but that, in my opinion, is better for supporting most of your back weight being put on it. I am not always at my computer due to having an outside job, but the times i come home after a tiring day, this chair is definatly comfortable. The only "problem" i found with this chair is, if you sit on the very front edge of the chair, its not fully supported, so it will lean forward, hear a small crack the first time, then it never happens again. I feel this is more due to the base being more centered on the seat coushin that the actual chair build because the other, more expensive verion of this chair has a pull out leg rest, which will put most of your weight on the center of the seat itself. But overall, if you are a big/tall person looking for a budget chair, not only for gaming, but doing desk work and such, this is an amazing chair to get.

the fabric feels so much better than the fake leather chairs. makes no noise! pretty happy. >.< took me only 15 mins to put together!

Assembly: 6/10Comfort: 9/10Structure: 7/10Assembly was mostly easy. I assembled by myself and took around 50 minutes. Instructions are good. The only issue is that the holes cut out from the fabric for screws are pretty inaccurate. About half of them werent in the correct location and I needed to dig my screws around.Comfort: It is a bit hard, but once it's used more, it should be more comfortable. Even so, I think the chair is very comfortable already. Back rest is soft and comfy as well. The lumbar support feels perfect (both soft, yet sturdy and keeps its shape). I am on the bigger side body wise and it fits me just fine. The armrests are padded, but not very soft. It is overall fine though and does not hurt my elbow.Structure: The base is sturdy (with plastic wheels) and from the looks of it, the chair doesn't wiggle much around when sitting. Arm rests do move slightly but most chairs are like that. Putting the chair back to lay down feels safe and sturdy. The chair itself is very wide and fits me great.Overall very happy with the purchase thus far. Will update below if anything changes in the future.

Very uncomfortable chair, my husband and I had intense back pain after several hours of use. The lumbar cushion is useless, too thick, and also gave us back pains.We also noticed a lot of manufacturing defects on the 2 chairs: crooked embroidery, cuts in the fabric, back and seat not aligned, ... So we returned the chairs and got our money back.However, I'd like to point out that GT Racing's customer service is very good, one of the best I've ever dealt with.

I broke my back in 1999. I have had no SCIATICA events. I had to change my gaming posture to the chair.

This is my first gaming chair. The delivery was quicker than the estimated time. It came with clear and easy to follow instructions. I will edit my review as I use the chair. Loving the chair for now and will recommend.

It was comfortable but the assembly was a lot harder than other gaming chairs I have bought in the past.
