Introduction
We would like to thank Backforce for supplying the review sample.
Backforce is the newest gaming chair brand owned by Interstuhl Büromöbel GmbH & Co. KG—a German office chair company founded in 1961, it has over 50 years of experience in designing and manufacturing chairs. Backforce was established in 2019, and even though it is a new company, it is already a presence in the more significant gaming leagues. One Plus is the gaming chair we are evaluating today, manufactured using wood, PU foam, cloth, plastics, steel, and aluminium. There are twelve options, of which four have partner logos and colors. After a successful 3-year cooperation thus far, Backforce has also renewed its esports contract, which will now expire in 2025. In this review, we will look into comfort and performance, and whether the "Made in Germany" and "Plus" tags adversely affect pricing.
