During CES 2024, Blacklyte, a new Canadian brand of gaming chairs, accessories, and desks, has unveiled an inaugural Athena gaming chair granting the user complete mastery over each meticulous stitch. The Athena chair features an exclusive pattern of intertwined threads inspired by fashion-forward footwear. With plushier and more breathable Skinsense fabric, the chair allows one to keep cool throughout the day. It also provides exceptional durability and smooth gliding on a reinforced base. The intricate details of the stitching patterns, high-end fabric, and sturdy construction position this as a premium, fashionable gaming chair built for comfort during extended periods of use. It also features adjustable arm rests and adjustable positions of tilting. The Athena chair comes with an MSRP of $499.99

Next, the new company has also displayed its Atlas gaming desk, which optimizes space utilization while providing flexibility and convenience. Its design includes an earphone hook and wire wrangler tray to neatly organize accessories without infringing on the desktop area. The desk also features electric height adjustment from 600 mm to 1250 mm for quick transitions between sitting and standing. Powered by a single concealed column through the leg, the built-in electrical socket can charge a few devices simultaneously. Advertised with its ability to "carry the world" of your electronics on its shoulders, Atlas is a sustainable desk built for adaptability and tidy cable management. The Atlas desk should be available soon with an unknown price tag.

Those wheels and the way they are attached doesn't look that sturdy to me...

And that price is way too much for what it is...

The wheels should be fine. I have similar and its the standard peg insert that fits 99% of office/gaming chairs. I do appreciate the built in brake on them. That price on the other hand is a big "no" from me. Typical gamer chair made in the same factory as the rest of them for way too much. For $500, I could get a much better ergo office chair.
