The proper way to do a cooler chair is breatheable mesh fabric, not some random marketing term lol

Just yet another copy paste crappy racing seat gaming chair with the same stupid pillows to try to fix the same bad ergonomic design that's flawed from the start. Pass

These chairs are made in China by a handful of factories who just do different colors and logos based on orders. And they are more or less the same overpriced crap.

Another copy-paster 'gaming' chair with those effing uncomfortable wings on the sides of the seat that jab into your legs if you open them slightly to give your balls some space. No thanks.

Lumbar support is provided by a cushion which is lame because it's not adjustable for thickness.

Real task chairs (Herman Miller Aeron, Steelcase Leap, et al) have adjustable lumbar control both for height and thickness.

Pass.

Only people these chairs don't seem to bother, based on my observation are younger kids - early teen and under. My son can sit in one of those chairs for hours and not have any issues. He's only 11 right now. My daughter hates the chair, after about an hour she says it hurts her back and she just turned 16.

The chair we have is okay to sit in for a handful of minutes, but for larger people it's pretty uncomfortable after a short duration of 30 minutes or more. That's why the kids get it. I'll stick with my high back, leather and well cushioned office chair. I can sit in this thing for hours and not get uncomfortable.
