How to choose a gaming chair

You sit in a gaming chair for hours every day, so three things matter: upholstery material, adjustability and the maximum user weight.

Material. Fabric breathes better and feels nicer in summer; PU leather is easier to wipe clean and keeps its looks longer.
User weight. The usual limit is 120-150 kg. Pick one with headroom - the frame and gas lift last longer that way.
Adjustability. A reclining backrest (135-180 degrees), height adjustment and 3D/4D armrests let you dial the chair in.
Lumbar and neck pillows. The single most important detail for long sessions.
Base and castors. A metal base carries more than plastic; soft castors will not scratch wooden floors.

Is a gaming chair good for office work? Yes - the reclining backrest and lumbar pillow make it an ergonomic work chair.

Fabric or PU leather? Fabric breathes better, PU is easier to clean. In a warm room choose fabric.

Do I have to assemble it? Yes, it ships flat-packed and takes about 20-30 minutes to put together.
