Brilliant chair with 1 flaw

With this chair you get what you pay for. It's premium. The quality of the materials and the workmanship are both top notch; right down to simple things like the stitching.
Very easy to put together. I managed to do it on my own in about 30 minute - although had there been someone to help it would have been a lot quicker.
The seat itself is quite solid, so if you're the sort that likes your backside to sink into a cushion then this isn't the chair for you. Otherwise it's one of the most comfortable seats i've ever been in.
The one flaw: the back rest is flat and you have to rely on the additional pillow. Sometimes you can get away with just moving the pillow a bit, but the chair would have benefited a lot more if it had an adjustable mechanism inside of it.
Aside from that i can often just lean back, put my feet up and watch some shows whilst i render videos or sit upright and work on some actual editing for long periods of time without too much discomfort (again sometimes i need to adjust the pillow during long sessions).
Very pleased

After many years of having a "normal" directors chair, but of the budget quality, I eagerly looked forward to receiving my first proper gaming/computer chair.Great decision. Arrived in Ireland from the UK after just 4 working days of my order. Perfectly packaged and no damage during shipping and handling by at least 4 different couriers. It was exactly as advertised although 1 of the holding screws to the under of the arm rest which was already installed was cross threaded and therefore not seated correctly, but as it was out of sight and appeared firm I did not make a drama of it. I was just a little bewildered as the enclosed instructions say it is for user weights of 100kg max., but the Overclocker site say 180kg.
However, I am writing this sitting on the chair and all is well.
Great product, very pleased with this classy chair.
Excellent chair, false info.

First off I already love this chair but I want to start with my biggest, and thus far only, complaint. Overclockers claim on the product page that the max user weight is 180KG. The manufacturer says it's only 120KG on their website and more weirdly only 100KG on the card inside the box. :/
This is one of the more important pieces of information that must be correct in order to prevent the chair failing on the first sitting potentially causing injury.
Now, to the good. This is everything else about the chair. It looks very sleek, the black/red combo is very nice, so far it feels comfortable to sit on, the reclining function is excellent and goes very far back and forward. The wheels roll across my laminate floor very well, the armrests are actually very good and can be adjusted to suit the way you sit.
The pillows for the head and back are welcome additions, although I am yet to use them both.
Moving on to assembly there's not very much to say other than it is very easy to assemble. Took no longer than 20 minutes to assemble fully, if that.
To summarise, the whole chair feels sturdy and like it is built to last, but given it is £300 at the time of purchase that's not surprising. I do recommend this chair but remember that it is rated at 120KG MAX weight not 180KG.
