Playmax Elite Gaming Chair - Steel Grey and Black reviews

I purchased this chair due to my previous chair being dingy and about 10 years old, and being someone who sits in a chair for most of my day gaming, because I'm a gaming content creator, I needed something comfortable that was going to last.

The chair is pretty adjustable which is nice, the whole top section can tilt backwards pretty far, their are cushions for back and neck support too but honestly I don't find them very useful and have to use a thicker pillow behind my back to help support me.

The side arm rests are extremely wobbly, despite us tightening them, which is really irritating for use.

I'd say, comfort wise, this chair leaves a lot to be desired, and obviously being made out of PU Leather it gets kinda gross to sit in if it's hot out.

Honestly, it's a good chair, but it's definitely not a great chair and definitely not worth the almost $400 price tag.

If you're looking for a chair that will make you feel like Han Solo piloting the Millenium Falcon, this is not your chair. However, if you're a tallish sort of bloke or blokess needing firm but not unforgiving padding and good lumbar support, this is your baby. It arrived today and I've just finished assembling it. Two black marks – one for the horrendous amount of foam and polythene-based plastic it came wrapped in. Seriously- There was enough plastic waste in the box to kill an entire pod of dolphins. In this day and age, just not good enough. The other, minor niggle was the fittings pack was three flat washers short. Not the end of the world or anything, but not perfect either. Assembly was pretty straightforward – I only swore a couple of times, while attaching the back to the seat, so that's usually a pretty good sign. The back is fully adjustable, so you can be all upright and Victorian school marm or slouch like a whiskey-soaked lounge lizard, it's up to you. For me, the neck pillow sits too low to be of much use, but us lanky persons are used to stuff not quite fitting. I'll have a fiddle with it later and see if I can persuade it up a centimeter or five. And if I drop the armrests to their lowest position I can slide the whole thing under my desk, which is cool. I bought this on impulse after my old chair, which wasn't all that old, broke a castor and I got sick of it ploughing up the carpet under my desk. I wouldn't pay any more than I paid for this one, but it definitely is a cut above any other computer chair I've rested my rotting old carcass on.

It's okay for a while, until the seat base starts to lean forward, and the cushioning becomes non-present. I'm only 80kg so I expected it to last a little longer but the tilt tensioner doesn't work, and never has, the armrests bend outwards extremely easily if you accidentally rest more than just the weight of your arm on them, and the tilt lock function locks the seat at an angle, not dead flat. It's ok, if only the seat cushioning was as dense as the back support pads.

Easy to bit together and pretty comfortable
