Review on Experience Ultimate Comfort and Style with the RESPAWN 200 Racing Style Gaming Chair in Green by Lawrence Crespo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not bad Not bad for video game chairs

I bought this in March 2019 and here are my results 4 months later: The chair is comfortable - at least for me - but there are a few issues. The back mesh is not strong enough. There is a strip of plastic with a net attached that goes into a spot on the back of the chair that came out after a few months. I bought super glue to fix this and so far it's holding up. The vertical part of the chair's armrests begins to sway, especially the left one. They're bolted from the factory and don't use standard bolts (they're round, not hex), so I can't fasten them. I think I accidentally broke my lumbar support after about 3 months. The "tail” of the back of the chair, the part under it, is not preserved. I don't mind - it's just an aesthetic issue, but it will likely need some gluing to stay securely in place. Also, the chair doesn't roll well on carpet, but that was my expectation and it's not a problem for me. I really like the green highlights. I'm quite a heavy person and it has supported me well so far. It was easy to assemble. There were no instructions included if I remember correctly, but I googled and found them. I paid $200 and expected better quality than what I got, but this was one of the cheapest chairs I found while searching. The screws that attach them appear to have a hex hole that the included hex wrench works with, so I was able to tighten them. Edit 5/16/2020: I think it's time to go the other way. The back rail came out on the other side of the chair. I applied crazy glue, super glue or something and left 24 hours. When I sat back down in the chair, the backrest jumped out again. In this context, I have raised my rating from 3 to 2.

Pros
  • ERGONOMIC COMFORT: This ergonomic chair features a molded foam encased tubular steel frame for firm support, while the open back seat construction provides additional thermoregulation. Adjustable headrest and pivoting lumbar support ensure long-term comfort.
