Review on Computer chair Metta Samurai S-3.04 for executive, upholstery: textile, color: black by Gabriela Trocka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

After reading a number of contrasting opinions, I decided to purchase model S-3.04 of this chair. The rolling mechanism reportedly makes a creaking noise, the seat height may be an issue for some, and there are numerous other minor snags. Despite the obvious dangers, I went ahead and bought it because I desperately wanted a mesh chair and could find nothing comparable from any other brand at this price. Thus, everything was in accordance with my anticipations, and I obtained all I desired with the exception of that one bolt. When the chair is in a vertical posture and I rock it slightly, it makes a creaking sound; however, I can't always pinpoint the cause. All exposed metal parts have been meticulously cleaned to remove any rough edges. I wouldn't go so far as to call this chair ultra-ergonomic, and I still wouldn't advise sitting on it for hours on end, but it's competitive with other gaming chairs in its price range. I've only had this chair for a week so far, but it sounds like replacement parts are covered by a warranty for a whole year, so I'll update this review as soon as any new jambs become available.

Pros
  • Mesh design, indestructible construction, mobility (can be rolled), adjustability (back can be fixed in multiple positions), and plush armrests. You can adjust the backrest to the point where your body is lying flat on the chair, allowing you to spin eternally on its axis.
Cons
  • Fortunately, the missing bolt was for the armrest and not the bearing, so I was able to finish assembling the chair and attach the armrest right away. I went to the local economy the next day and purchased the missing bolt (6x25) for 3 dollars, and now everything is fine. To assemble the chair, they used gloves, but given that they are construction workers, it's possible that they forgot. The armrests seem flimsy to me, but maybe that's the case with all chairs; you can't really put your full weight on them because that's not what they're meant for. Also, I'd like to cancel the fact that the catalog's stated height for the back is 81 centimeters, somewhere else it says 75, and in the end it was 70 centimeters, but if you count from the seat, then even 65 centimeters. The correct minimum seat height above the floor is 50, but in some places it is written as low as 40. I am 183 cm tall and weigh 90 kg, therefore the gas lift height was perfect for me, but others with shorter legs may have trouble. The only problem is that the area closer to the coccyx gets more support from what is supposed to be supporting the lower back.
