RESPAWN 115 Racing Style Gaming Chair, in Black (RSP-115-BLK)

Material is great. Good shape and I'm on the big side. Very comfortable and looks great in a office or game setting.The bad. Im pushing 285 now. The bottom legs and wheels would flex alot initially( Its made of plastic). Within the week of getting it one wheel gave out. I ordered a metal one off amazon and its perfect now.I also added silicone wheels from here as well to make it easy on my wooden floors

I will list some pro's/con's and some neutrals in this review. I'd like to state that I bought this after going through multiple other chairs and climbed the IKEA price range ladder as well. IKEA had a very nice top dollar recliner, but I don't have IKEA where I live now and they wanted another $50 for shipping, so I defaulted to my Amazon Prime as usual. Also, I bought this not based on other reviews, because they are far from helpful if not 100% falsified. Please take the time to read the list and descriptions I have outlined in regards to this chair. I hope this review is helpful. My most recent comparison is the IKEA MARKUS, since it is the most similar to these kinds of chairs.*UPDATED REVIEW*I went from a 4 star to a 2 star, and went back to my IKEA MARKUS. The seat cushioning did not hold up and I am only 180 pounds. After all I had to do with the arm rests they bother me as well. Read on.Pros:1.Recling. The recline on this chair will go ALL THE WAY BACK. So far you will tip. I think the instructions (as shown in another review) are only there as a safety warning. Either way, it goes well past 160 degrees. The other review talking about this has no idea how far 160 degrees is. If you are curious too, google image a protractor.2. The wheels. I was surprised to get a set of wheels that are actually very nice and can roll easily through high pile carpet. Compared to the 4 different IKEA chairs I had that did not roll at all without WD40 (on plastic... yes) these things are awesome. The support brace for the bottom that holds the wheels, as well as the wheels themselves are very well constructed and you could easily swap them out for a spare on your roller derby blades.The wheels are not that cool, but you can order some high end roller blade types if you feel you need to and still be under the $300 price range most companies are asking for these types of chairs. You will not need to though.Neutrals:1. Price. It's right there in the middle. Not cheap, but not expensive. Well, not overpriced, how about that? At $180, it's a perfect price for this type of chair. Some may see this as a positive and others, a negative, so I listed it as neutral. You can decide whether it is worth $180 based on my pros and cons or if you would rather spend more/less instead. I honestly recommend you don't do either. This range is the perfect medium.2. Quality Control. I can see this being a pro or a con as well. There are some things like the horizontal sliding arm rests that need work. I also had to get a decent power electric bit to tighten the screws all the way. Someone left a review of needing a tap and die. I cannot attest to this, because it was fine for me, but it is something that popped up a couple days after I bought mine. I can only attest to the quality control on the one I got. It could use some more attention to detail.3. Back rest. I am not sure about this one. The high end ones I saw had a back support that was tied in with straps. I am certain it could be removed, but still ugly IMHO. The back support on the 115 simply just rests where you set it. Some may want the straps all the time. I understand this, so I chose to leave this as a neutra.4. The chair does tilt, as well as recline, however, the tilt does not lock in the rear position. You can only lock it to keep it from tiling backwards. This is not a big deal, but it would be nice to have and since I am comparing to my most recent IKEA chair that had it that way, I figured I would list it as a neutral.5. Manual reclining. I expected this and in most ways, prefered this. However, my IKEA MARKUS had a pressure recline that locked. I am not sure which I prefer, but I expect that IKEA was not what 90% of other chairs do. Because, well, it's IKEA... So the manual lock workst, but in some ways I enjoyed the pressure sensitive reclining.Cons:1. Horizontal sliding arm rests. I know, it seems great right? Wrong. They do not lock on this chair. The positions are awesome, but the sliding mechanism is horrible. I ended up taking the arm rests apart (very simple, only 8 screws total) and placed somethings inside them to keep them from sliding. The problem was that when/if you place them in the back most position, when you stand up they jolt forward. Assuming you place your hands on the arm rests to stand up of course. It is very loud too. Also, when you place them in the forward most position, if you need to place your hands on the chair to assist a move/roll around on the derby floor, they jolt backwards. The simple explanation is: They don't lock and it's stupid. The idea is there, but the design is flawed. The worst part though, is that when you recline, the arm rests are too short and they become obsolete. You cannot use the arm rests when you recline unless you stretch your arms out into a very uncomfortable position. My IKEA MARKUS had longer ones that reached all the way to the front of the chair, and the rear of the chair, and I never had a problem when reclining.2. I needed a drill bit to tighten everything. I could have made due with the tools provided in the packaging, but you know those loose feeling sounds you hear from a chair when you move a millimeter or breather wrong? That happened within the first couple hours of testing this chair. So I decided to get the bit and use some extra power. It worked, and while this as well as number 1 I have listed in the cons so far are a simple fix for me, they may not be for others and are still flaws that could be avoided.3. The length of the seat cushion. It is a very long seat which will hit the bend in your knees even when sitting all the way back. This could be the biggest thing causing discomfort and also sometimes forces you to sit closer to the edge of the seat and not use the back rest. It could honestly be about 3 inches shorter. That is a lot! I found this to be the most uncomfortable thing, but as I looked at multiple gaming chairs, they all looked the same.4. I originally praised this part: The cushioning! After owning a couple months, you can tell they used a cheaper and thinner material for the seat cushion. It's not as bad as some chairs but for the $180 price, it should be much better. This is the deal breaker for me.Overall, I highly recommend you check another chair. I think the length of the chair and the lack of a head rest at the top or an attachable back rest spot are some pretty decent issues this chair has. Also, after owning a couple of months, I am not very fond of the cushioning. If I sit for a couple hours, it leaves a big imprint and eventually you feel like you are sitting on the base of the chair and there is no cushion. This is the deal breaker for me. I changed my review from a 4 star to a 2 star after owning a couple months becuase of the issues I listed in cons. They are the difference between a nice chair, and a cheap chair. I originally thought everything was decent enough to last, but I already swapped out for the same IKEA chair I had before.I hope my review was helpful and if there is anything else I can do or questions I can answer, please feel free to ask. Thank you for taking the time to read this review.

It is a good chair. I like the recline feature. The only con I will give it is that the arm rests do not feel solid and wobble a bit. Other than that, the chair is solid and totally worth the $150. I have had this chair for a year and a half now. I use it every day.

im 6'6 about an inch or two stick over the top of the chair but very wide so i can sit in comfortably. don't lean back in the chair too much because it is just plastic and i did have the frame of the wheel brake off but customer service replaced quickly with little hassle.

I just finished putting mine together about an hour ago. It is all around a good chair, and I like it so far.HOWEVER.There are several places where it is described as being able to recline 180%. THIS IS NOT TRUE. It only goes to ~160% and the instructions you recieve say that outright. That last little bit might not matter to you, it's pretty small I know, but don't lie about it.EDIT: I'm not really sure why bosKy felt the need to attack me over a product review, but having had the chair a little while now, I'll go into some more detail to try and placate them. The armrests are molded rubber that is frankly hard and could use some padding, the "lumbar support" is just an unattached pillow they tossed in the box so everytime you shift, adjust, or stand you have to put it back where you want it, and the recline mechanism pops when you lean back sometimes (I weigh in at 165lb, so I'm not large at all).If you want to fear for humanity there are many places to channel that concern, Amazon reviews are probably not a very useful place for it. I don't expect perfection from things, but why should I give a perfect score to something I didn't think was flawless?

One of the legs broke off at the wheel. Unfixable.

The comment left below me makes me fear for humanity.... two stars are knocked off for a very, very POOR reason....I would hate to be responsible for meeting this man/woman's expectations.Anyways, this chair is fantastic, by far the best I have ever owned for a chair around this price point. I find it superior to a la-Z-boy I've been using for the past couple of years that costs over twice as much.The build quality is great, it is easy to install, and well worth the money. You will not be concerned about the max angle it can recline. If in need of a new chair or a couple, fulfill your need with these. Cheers-

First off, the chair looks great, but you may have to overlook the fact that you'll never get the chair to be put together in such a way that it'll look perfect. The arm rest mounts are slightly off and the stitching on the seat is not even on the unit that I received. This didn't bother me much as no one else was going to ever see it and the chair was comfortable enough to sit in. The real problem is that after 4 months of light use by a person well below the weight limit of 275 lbs the wheels began to break out of the base. That's an incredibly short amount of time for something like that to happen so I cannot really recommend this chair based on those quality concerns especially now that it seems to be more expensive than when I purchased mine.
