anda seat Axe Series Racing Style Gaming Chair with High Back, Office, Desk, Executive, Recliner, Swivel, Tilt, Rocker and Seat Height Adjustment, Lumbar and Headrest Pillows Included(Blue)

First, I want to mention that I've had this chair for about 4 months and waited til now to leave a review so I could see if it started squeaking or degrading, as many chairs I've had developed squeaks/creaks within a couple months. That has not been the case at all, it's been perfect. I'm sure that, like myself, you're wondering who the hell Anda Seat are and why their chairs are so expensive if you've never heard of them. I felt the exact same way, I thought this can't be as good as a Secret Lab chair or just a good $300 office chair but I decided to give it a try anyway. It turns out that Anda Seat is VERY popular in China and are used by some of their biggest esports teams, so I figured if gamers who play 12hrs/day like to sit in these chairs then maybe they're worth a shot. The fact that Anda Seat has a long history of making seats for high-end luxury cars didn't hurt either.Now I probably wouldn't pay the retail price of $500, so it's good this chair is often on sale for $300-350. I paid about $350 and couldn't be happier with my purchase. And I literally spent MONTHS reading reviews, trying to decide on a chair for my first ever gaming PC setup. I put it together with a friend and it took us about 30 minutes to get it from the box to fully assembled. It was very well packaged, everything was clearly labeled and the instructions were easy to figure out, at least in my opinion. I also recommend watching a YouTube video of assembly as it can be helpful too. Anyway, as I was taking all the pieces outta the box, I couldn't help but notice what great quality every piece appeared to be. Everything was welded cleanly, the holes were all lined up where they should be, the base is extremely solid and the chair itself is very large and incredibly sturdy & well-built.I chose the fabric version over the PVC Kaiser 2 because I prefer the breathability of the cloth. And this chair definitely does not get hot. I spend 8 hours in it sometimes and I don't get uncomfortable or sweaty like I would in lesser quality or pleather chairs. I uploaded a video that shows all the features of the chair as well. It is capable of pretty much everything and it's perfect for a bigger guy. I'm not huge or anything but I'm 6'2 and 230lbs, so I'm not exactly average size either. This chair is incredibly comfy and I feel like if I weighed 300lbs it would still have plenty of room. I can spread my legs completely and the wings on the side of the seat don't dig into my legs at all, contrary to what some others have said. I find the wings to be very low and they never really bother me, even when I "man-spread" as some weirdos like to say.The T-Pro II feels extremely durable and I feel totally safe just falling backwards because I know the chair will hold my weight no matter what. You can recline to nearly a full 180° when combined with the chair tilt. So this chair does indeed tilt, tilt lock (you can lock the bottom at any angle), recline (like a car seat), rock tightly or loosely (there's a knob underneath that adjusts how easily it rocks) and the armrests are true 4D, meaning they go up/down, forward/back, in/out and pivot at an angle. They are quiet and soft enough that they're not uncomfortable. The included lumbar pillow is large and very comfortable, in fact I haven't used the chair without it because it feels great. The headrest pillow is also very nice but it will only really be comfy if you're 6'1" to 6'5" because any shorter and it'll push your head forward instead of cradling it. But the chair is perfectly comfy without the headrest pillow as well. Overall this is the best gaming chair I've ever had the pleasure of owning or sitting in. Another great thing about it is that it really retains its shape and support because of the cold-cured foam (not memory foam). In the 4 months I've had it the seat itself has not sunk in at all and feels just like it did when I bought it, albeit a little broken-in feeling. The chair is also a very good height and fits perfectly at my desk, which is 28" tall. It also fits great at my other 32" tall desk. It is a very large chair though so do be mindful of that. I have it on carpet btw, and believe it or not, it actually moves around just fine on medium/low-pile carpet. In the end, I highly recommend the Anda Seat T-Pro II for any person that is at least 5'11" tall. I'm sure it would be comfy for smaller sizes but you won't be able to take advantage of all the features. Regardless, I expect this chair to last many years and thousands of hours because it really feels like a great quality product.

Received my chair today and was a little excited since my old chair gave up the ghost. This chair is nice and large and the room I have in it is great. I like the cloth seat as well a lot more comfortable than the stiff pleather the other "gaming" chairs have. Also the lumbar and head pillows are a lot softer than the pleather ones, making them more comfortable as well. The armrests are nice and wide and fully adjustable which is nice, so if you are a fat person like myself you can move out the armrests to add any extra room you want/need. There is one is thing with the armrests that may get annoying in the future, turn the armrests to different angles all you have to do is twist the arms which I feel will loosen up over time. All in all for the first few hours I am very happy with this chair.Now for the bad, well at least the bad I came across. For the armrest and the support under the seat, there was one bolt hole for each that was not threaded properly and the only way to get them to tighten was by cross threading the bolts. They should hold but it is concern of mine especially with the one for the support. I partially blame myself for this, in the excitement of getting a chair and no longer using a metal folding chair I rushed putting the chair together. Normally I would check all the bolts and threads before assembly and I skipped that part. The chair is not difficult to put together but I have worked in machine shops and work on cars.I will update this hopefully in six months or so, or if something happens.Update 1: The 4D armrests are not good, it is the angle movement that is bad. Most time I get out of the chair at least one armrest twists. One time with a pulled back I went to get out of the chair and the one armrest twisted and I screamed in pain as my body twisted in a way it did not want to go. Another issue is the smell from the fabric of the chair. Even knowing there would be a smell and leaving it outside while at work, the smell still lingers. I am not sure if I got used to the smell or it has actually aired out a little. The arms to control the height and to lock the chair from leaning backwards are very short and I find I need to lean over and reach to get to them.The size of this chair is better than I first thought and I like the extra room I have. If you have shorter legs like I do, I am mostly torso, you may find this chair uncomfortable as your back might not fully reach the backrest properly with your feet on the ground

Great chair overall! Chair arrived in excellent condition and both appears to and feels that its materials are of good quality.As to assembly: requires an unexpected bit of strength to connect the back to the seat. It turned into a two-person job as the high back chair is awkward to hold in place whilst aligning the bolts and to maintain the correct amount of pressure needed to do so. Aligning the seat into the swivel post likewise also is really a two-person job as at this juncture the chair is quite awkward and somewhat heavy.The chair itself is a dream and very comfortable.

When I ordered this chair I had noted that some customers had complaints about the lumbar pillow having no attachment to the backrest of the seat, it seems that they have changed the design slightly and the lumbar pillow now has two elastic straps that loop vertically around the backrest making it very easy to hold in place and adjust the height.My previous chair was a Herman Miller Embody (more than twice the price!) And this chair is by far more comfortable for long gaming sessions.I weigh 300lbs and I'm 6'4". After having it setup for a day I am already enjoying it. My back would hurt after 20mins in my old chair, and I lost track of time sitting in the new one!Pros:- sturdy design- back rest tilts the same as an automotive seat does. And feel very solid.- the base is cast metal, not a common feature of most chairs.- even though I don't like the pillows it's nice that they are included.Cons:- no ventilation so if the room is hot, you're gonna sweat.- for a big and tall chair it would have been nice if the backrest was taller, as it is I can't use the neck pillow because its at my shoulder blades. Not a big deal as I prefer the chair without the pillows.I am very happy with my chair. It arrived sooner than estimated.

I was so reluctant to purchase a chair like this. I really wanted a more traditional executive office chair. But in the past year, I've purchased 4 other chairs (high-end models including La-Z-Boy and Serta), and I returned them all because I just couldn't get comfortable. I spend long hours at my computer (working, watching movies, occasionally gaming)—sometimes I like to lean back, sometimes I need to lean in.So I finally went to Staples and tried this one (I ordered on Amazon for a much better price). And I've never sat in a more comfortable desk chair. It adjusts in every way. It's very heavy, solid, well-constructed, but the memory foam is also soft and supportive in the lumbar and neck areas.The only issue I have is that the arm rests are a bit too far apart for my body, and I can't quite bring them in close enough. It's not a deal-breaker, and I still love the chair, but I wish there were a bit more adjustability in lateral range. I contacted Anda directly about this, and they've been very helpful with suggestions.

There is a crease on the seat after using it for a few months. Doesn’t bother me when I’m sitting but I don’t know why it’s there considering I paid this much.

I tried this chair out at Staples first and loved it, but they didn’t have the colour I wanted. It is so comfortable to sit at all day for work. I was having terrible back and neck pain in my old chair and this one keeps me sitting properly - no more pain or problems! Assembly was easy…took about 20min. Excellent instructions-easy to follow. This chair is worth the $.
