Good chair, also suitable for tall people
I have problems with a lumbar vertebra and therefore I like the chair that you can adjust the height of the backrest to the seat. So the lumbar support can be adjusted to the optimal height. The chair is also otherwise very comfortable and suitable for taller people (I am 1.83). The fabric of the upholstery seemed a bit cheap to me at first, but I have since gotten used to it.
Unlike most other chairs, the casters don't have a brake function, which means the chair rolls fine even when no one is sitting on it. I actually find this convenient, but that's a matter of opinion! The original casters also run well on hard floors, although it says they are only for carpeted floors. So I would only recommend the optional hard floor castors if you have a delicate floor where scratches could occur.Pro

- Fabric of the upholstery looks a bit cheap
Good chair at a good price
I wanted a chair for gaming and home office. The chair meets my expectations 100%. The price is quite affordable, so you have to accept only small sacrifices.
It is very well made.
Compared to the chair for over 1000.- that I use in the office, the adjustability of the armrests (rotation is not given) and the fabric cover instead of mesh are the two points in which this chair differs.
I would buy the chair again at any time and am curious how it holds up over time.
Pro
- Workmanship (price)
- Design

- Material
Contra
- Armrests not rotatable
Disappointment
The chair misses any kind of datasheet, the only info provided is a copy paste description which is a shame. Risked it and bought this chair because of good reviews, however I think it is a very unbalanced product that makes no sense.
(I am a guy, 190 cm, 95 kg, medium sized torso, long legs, normal sized butt)
Rolls: haven't tried the stock carpet ones, the additionally bought hardwood ones are pretty good.
Seat:
Absolutely terrible. Makes no sense at all.
The foam in the center of the seat is pretty good. I will use it as the reference point.
The part under the backrest is much thinner than the center and on top of that it is also "ergonomically curved" downwards, the edge provides no support and completely collapses. The part where your sitting bones are will sink very low compared to the front of your legs.
The side edges also offer no support and completely collapse.
The front part is much thicker overall and on top of that it has this weird bump in the middle which will make you sit with your legs spread. That combined with the sinking part under the backrest will make you sit with the front part of your legs higher than your butt and also spread apart.
You can try eliminating this unpleasant feeling by sliding the seat under the backrest as much as possible. This will make the sitting surface not only much smaller, but the beginning of the weird bump in now where your "soft" parts are. This creates a discomfort close to the one you get when riding a too narrow bicycle seat.
Backrest:
Superb lumbar support. The upper half is curved back so you can"t really lean against it. Very narrow. Unlike the pictogram suggests, it cant be tilted unless the seat is also.
Headrest:
Absolute joke. If you somehow manage to rest your head on it, the next point of body to chair contact is somewhere in the middle of your back, because the upper part of the backrest is nonsensically curved too much backwards. This will create pressure on your neck.
