Review on RESPAWN RSP 205 WHT Gaming Chair White by Alex Hensen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cool looking chair that was comfortable most of the time. with a major defect

I really like the aesthetics of the chair. It looks cool, edgy and futuristic, especially when viewed from the back. I wanted a black and gray chair but for some reason the price difference between it and the black and red chair was $40 so I bought the cheaper black one. and red. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this colorway, as there seemed to be too much red in the photos. My favorite feature of this chair is the mesh back. I found it very comfortable and liked that it was much cooler than my full leather chair. The overall comfort of the chair was quite good. The seat cushion is firm but I found it comfortable. I liked how you could lock the chair in any position or adjust the recline force if you wanted to rock the chair instead. I also liked how the arms can be adjusted up and down to improve your comfort. And I liked the addition of the lumbar and pillows. Although I thought the pillow made the chair uncomfortable so I never used it, I really liked the Respawn 205's lumbar pillow. I don't know how someone even slightly taller than me would fit in. What I noticed after a while is that the side bolsters of the seat cushion have dug into my thighs because the seat is quite small. I really liked this chair and thought it would definitely be a keeper. But after using this chair for two days, I unfortunately discovered a fatal flaw that made the chair too uncomfortable for me and ended up being a deal breaker. This fatal mistake are the two red cutouts in the mesh back. I don't know why Respawn designed them so low on my back because they dig into my shoulder blades the entire time as I'm reclined in my chair 90% of the time I use them. And not only my back and shoulders, but my dad (5ft 10") and my girlfriend (5ft 8") both had the same problem. Back or shoulders, I would give this Respawn 205 five stars and keep this chair because other than that fatal flaw, the chair was pretty comfortable. Unfortunately I sent the chair back due to this one fatal error. PS I still had to return this chair because after just one day of use the washer and screw under the seat cushion broke. But if it wasn't for this fatal error I would have asked for a replacement instead of a refund.
