          Yes, I think we are paying for it fully assembled with someone sitting on it… pushing it to our address using their feet.

          • Jaes on 19/07/2019 - 15:16

            @GregMonarch: No, I'm pretty sure they're being towed by the truck while sitting on it. Bonus fees for any injuries/accidents that are bound to happen along the way

  • azzatron on 17/07/2019 - 22:55

    Yeah I've been looking at these for a while now. Wondered if they were any good. Has anyone used one in person? Mostly wondering how thin the seat padding it as I find cheap seats flatten out pretty quickly.

    • exit on 17/07/2019 - 23:08

      There are a couple reviews scattered around on JBHifi/Amazon etc. but nothing negative I can see so far.

    • jpv on 18/07/2019 - 08:24

      I bought one for $99 on Kogan. The chair is good for a basic chair.
      Note that the chair doesn't recline and the arm rests aren't adjustable. Also, the tilt mechanism isn't good as well.
      I'd suggest investing a bit more on a better chair.

    • akyeeeahdude on 18/07/2019 - 08:24

      I got one from EBay at Christmas. Despite not having all that much use, the foam has flattened very quickly which means it’s not as comfortable as it was initially. The gas lift is also wearing out despite not much use as well. If you are only paying $100 to $200 all up, it’s not bad value but don’t expect it to last long. I’m 85kg, if anyone was wondering.

      On the positive, the seat material still looks new. Assembly is also easy.

  • hellgatez on 17/07/2019 - 22:56

    How do they compare with the racing chairs from Officeworks/Kogan?

    P.S. CPL is selling them at the same price too with an option to pick-up.

    • exit on 17/07/2019 - 22:58

      Officeworks is double the price…

      • hellgatez on 17/07/2019 - 23:02

        It's more expensive when it's not on sale

      • AlmightyBeing on 17/07/2019 - 23:13

        Officeworks has the third generation, this is the first gen. If officeworks did stock the same one then it would be awesome because they would beat $99 by 5%

        • hellgatez on 17/07/2019 - 23:15

          thanks for that. :)

        • magic8ballgag on 18/07/2019 - 09:57

          You mean to say I could have the same crappy chair for $5 less!?

          • AlmightyBeing on 18/07/2019 - 13:45

            @magic8ballgag: Yes and this crappy chair will still be $200 cheaper than the popular gaming chairs no matter if it's discounted or not

            • magic8ballgag on 18/07/2019 - 14:20

              @AlmightyBeing: I wonder why the popular gaming chairs cost so much more..

              • AlmightyBeing on 18/07/2019 - 19:29

                @magic8ballgag: Because they are built better and more consistent build quality But they also have extra features (some that not all people want), useless decals, and there is also a premium charge for buying a high end product. Everything fits on a scale of value for money and if this chair is even halfway decent it may have a higher value for money than the premium ones.

                • magic8ballgag on 18/07/2019 - 19:39

                  @AlmightyBeing: It was a rhetorical question, I understand that more expansive normally equals better quality.

    Something you should not cheap out on is a good office chair for your back sake and I'm afraid these gimicky gaming chairs are not good quality.

    You really need to spend hundreds. Go and have a look at your local office furniture places (not office works), often times they have refurb ones that will be 10x better than this listing but more pricey unfortunately.

    If you want to buy new, start at a minimum of something like this….

      i want something with a high back. If I fall asleep in my chair, I don't want to snap my neck.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/07/2019 - 13:45

        These chairs with “neck support” will ruin your posture.

        If you want neck support, go have a lie down in bed.

  • mrvaluepack on 18/07/2019 - 05:01

    Lousy chair, no recline function. Ebay gaming chairs at same price incl. Shipping have recline and footrests.

  • Sammy Boi on 18/07/2019 - 07:40

    I think spending money on a chair without sitting on it to at least test the padding is a bad decision. I would be happy to spend this price but I reckon after four hours on this thing it's going to be flat as a pancake.

    • IronOrchard on 19/07/2019 - 01:02

      Very uncomfy in the summer,
      You'll need to put a dry towell over it atleast. Helps regulate and keeps things in check.
