RESPAWN - 900 Racing Style Gaming Recliner, Reclining Gaming Chair, Grey

Best purchase ever, wished I’ve done so sooner. I have used my old Walmart mainstay futon bed/couch for many years and it has started to get uncomfortable as the futon slowly sinks into the springs. That’s when I looked up Amazon and saw this chair with everything I wanted without the $300+ price tag for a chair. I didn’t want a wheeled PC type gamer chair, nor the massage chair stuff. I just wanted a swivel recliner with a cup holder on the left side and not break the bank. (Yes, I want my cup holder on the left. I am right handed btw) This chair had everything I wanted and not more and it’s in my budget. You can buy a lower back Massager separately for less than $30 if you really wanted one, but didn’t want to pay the $400 tags.It’s very EASY to install by yourself, maybe spend extra 2 mins trying to align up the bottom seat cushion with the chair back for the two screws to hold it up right.The box only have 5 big parts to put this chair together. The chair leg/platform, chair cushions&leg rest, chair back, and the two arm rests.The tool kit gives you one extra of every bolt/screw/washer for the chair, in case you end up loosing one somehow. They’re also all lightly tip dipped with blue lock tight, so you don’t have to worry about them loosen out over time.(How I got it done under 20mins with no help)1. Open everything and set them up in a organized fashion so you can count inventory, making sure you have everything you need.2. Follow the REALLY simple instructions step by step! This is a lot easier than majority of the IKEA instructions!3. When putting the bottom chair cushion into the bottom swivel rod, it won’t just plop down onto the rod. You’ll have to just wiggle the chair side to side, and let gravity slowly sink the chair on to the rod. It helps when you unzip the fabric to see the alignment/pic included.4. Don’t over tighten all the screws/bolts/etc all the way till you’re actually done putting it together. As some adjustments might be needed.5. When installing arm rests, just slap it down on the side of the chair, and line it up to the metal bracket for the holes underneath/don’t forget the washers! , if it’s not lined up, give it a few light slaps to get it to line up. Easy Peezy.I spent less than 15mins total which included inventory count and unwrapping everything, and putting this together by myself.SO got sad that I didn’t ask for help at all, like lifting it up stairs.I bought chair in the USED-like new, I guess it’s due to that single cut by the bottom left arm rest/pic included, so I spent even less than the price tag for nearly 99% new, huzzah!Though the box it came in has seen better days. It looked like it went through 2 Black Friday events/tape everywhere to keep the box together. But everything was plastic wrapped and foam sheet wrapped protected. It was easy to carry upstairs as it felt less than 58lbs to me/IMO.The comfort of the chair can be on par with those nice leather movie theater chairs, just not the plush ones. I’ve gamed and Netflix binged for hours and this chair gave me all the comfort i needed. I’m 5,7 and my ankle just hangs over the feet rest/I like it that way. Of course the chair will do a loud clunk sound when the gears lock into place when you put your feet rest up. This ain’t a $700 lazy-boy chair! Thus the ‘clunk’ noise doesn’t bug me at all.Here’s some measurements I took myself for the chair, if anyone have questions on certain areas like I did for myself.Chair cushion width is about 18.5-19inChair cushion Length is 22in before it bends for the foot rest.Foot rest length without chair cushion is 14in.If you add the seat cushion with leg rest it’s 35.5in total in length/it’s slightly curved.Chair is about 13.5 in off the floor at the lowest point/near the chair backChair is about 17in off the floor at where you knees bend. It inclines lower towards the back of the chair.Chair back without adding in the sides are 11in.Chair back with the sides added are 19in at where it curves inward.Chair back at widest/shoulder is 22inChair back head rest/top of the chair not the pillow are 12.5in.Chair arm rests are 20.5in x 6inNeck Pillow are 12in x 6in. Avg 3.75in thick.You have about 3.75in for the neck pillow height adjustment on the back of the chair.There’s no separate lower back support/massage pillow if you’re looking for those.Cup holder are 3.25in width and 2.5in deep, it’s a one piece plastic tube, no worry of liquids leaking into the chair.Side pouch Can expand up to 3+in, 5-5.5in width, and the length is shortest at 5.5in, and 6.5in at the longest. There’s a separator sewed in the pouch so you have 2 compartments in that pouch.BTW The box it came in is quite huge and might need a buddy to help you lift it.It’s 38.5inL x 28inW x 16.5inH.At 58-60lbs with the box included.

Overall Grade: 5 Stars for its particular purposeQuick Pros: High comfort, arms can sprawl, convenience features, and solid recline. Excellent instructions and easy assembly.Quick Neutrals: Not a desk chair; this is not a negative, it was never intended for that purpose.Quick Cons: Very size dependent; amazing if you're an "average" North American but if you're shorter or taller there could be better options.Detailed Review: If you're looking for a gaming chair, you've probably come across a tonne of OEM no-name options selling the same stuff, and this Respawn 900 caught your eye while doom scrolling the never-ending possibilities and you went "what is that?" Well, that's what happened to me too. If you're caught in an endless loop of evaluating between splurging on a streamer-calibre name like Secret Lab/Corsair or the budget "generic Amazon brand" options Respawn occupies a nice middle ground.First off, this is not an office chair. Most gaming chairs pull double duty and this one is decidedly designed different (although, Respawn also makes the 110 model which IS in that class). This chair is not meant to be rolled around the office, it is stationary; it is designed to be plunked down in front of a TV in a gamer den/living room. That's not a negative; it shows some real design chops by Respawn for doing so and it actually leads to many of the chair's strengths.The reason I made the comparison to OEM models above is because the Respawn stands out only after it arrives. The instructions are your first clue: a large laminated guide with clear illustrations and genuinely well-written English. Even small details—like recommending a socket wrench for one step—show that someone actually thought about the assembly experience.The chair itself is incredibly sturdy. Keep in mind, I am an completely average male at 5'9, 180lbs. I settle into the chair comfortably, but by my estimate if you are over 6'2 or under 5'4, the chair may be less accommodating. It also sits incredibly low compared to others; you have to descend into it and the experience is very different. You have to learn to trust it. Like I said, it's not an office chair, there is no gas-powered height adjustment to ease ingress/egress.The stitching on the chair is high quality, as well as the accent piping. Even the cupholder's facade is properly sealed against the faux leather. Production quality is apparent.One of my favourite things compared to an office-style gaming chair are the armrests. They are meant to allow your arms to sprawl out wide, not keep you constrained in a typing stance. Your wingspan can truly spread out wide here and it's glorious, especially when reclined. This is closer to a Lay-Z-Boy than a Secret Labs.Overall, this chair is perfect if your use case is its particular niche. It's the kind of chair I'd recommend to someone who I know spends time with a console in front of a TV or is just looking for gamer-styled furniture in a living room; it would be a surprisingly strong contender if you wanted a full-on recliner but don't want to spend that much money at a real furniture store. If you want a gaming chair that pulls double duty as a production space, this is likely not your best bet, but it absolutely nails its designed purpose.

First off, I'll just say this is the best chair I've ever had.the TL/DR is: 325 lbs and I had no trouble, I sleep in this chair for health issues, comfort has never been an issue. 6'3" and very happy.The long version:I bought this because someone said they were 330lbs and had no trouble, so even though it suggests I think 275? It has been perfectly comfortable. I work often, but when I'm home I'm gaming and I'm in this chair, and I even sleep in the thing. I have sleep apnea, and I have had a long history of rolling in my sleep when I'm hot, which as my size is often. So I was pulling my CPAP mask off all the time. I had the bright idea of sleeping in the chair to see if I would keep from rolling over. Enter the period in my life where I slept better than I've ever slept. I never move, I put a pillow behind my head (Remove the one it comes with, it does nothing.) Lean back and put my feet up on my bed, I'm out in seconds and I sleep amazing. This chair was the best thing I ever did for my restfulness, and as someone in the construction field, this is very important. I've never had any part break, and it still feels as comfortable as the first day I got it.Now the downsides, but not so down that I think it doesn't still deserve a full 5 stars.SQUEAKY, the metal on metal design, it started squeaking day 1 and now it's just an old 89 chevy with the original shocks, SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK. Luckily it doesn't shift when you're relatively still, so I only notice it when I recline to get ready to sleep. 100% worth it.The material. The leather on the left arm has ripped at the seam of the section that has the checkered pattern. This is because I lean on my let arm often while gaming or watching a show, and the design has a big block of wood or something that holds the cup holder in place, but has no support going up the rest of the arm but the cushion, so there's a drop off where the constant use just pulled the stitching apart. I actually don't feel it because my arm doesn't brush up against that point, just not pleasant if I do accidentally touch it, the edge of the material is oddly sharp.I really wish this came with some kind of replaceable plug for the cup holder, I've had an old shirt balled up and shoved in there since the day I got it, which was 13 months ago. I forget it's there, because I'm plenty comfortable, but when I look down at it I just wish I had a cushion that would fit perfectly so I could ignore the cup holder, since there's no way I'd put a cup in an arm that is where I'll be leaning constantly to type or game.The flat bottom can be tough to use because I do have to pull it in and out, but I have hardwood and with skates it slides well enough.The bar people mention in the seat, yes, it can be annoying... if you slouch. This chair encourages good posture and my posture has improved so much because sitting normally, the bar actually feels supportive oddly enough, but if I slid down somehow, I'd be sitting on a metal bar. Now. keep in mind, I'm someone who slouches EVERYWHERE else, and since day 1 I didn't even think about it, I stopped slouching and just adjusted the recline if I wanted to lean back.Low to the ground: I had to adjust my gaming setup because this does sit lower than a regular computer chair, but probably not more than a console players gaming chair. I don't know, I've never used one like this, but it was 100% worth adjusting my desk setup for.It has downsides, but I think the low price really equalizes any downsides and with all of the other pluses, I have to give this a 5 because a 4 feels too low.If this chair breaks today, I'm ordering a new one today. I would

OMG!! This my first gaming chair ever. I just finished assembling it and testing it and man let me tell you. I almost nutted from how comfortable it is. I almost prefer over my bed. Assembling took roughly 15-20 min. It's a pretty easy process with clear instructions. It's so easy even a caveman can do it. The build quality is fantastic. The material is smooth. The look is the same as it appears in the pictures. If I had to make a complaint it have to be the fact that it has a bit of a smell, of something that's brand new and fresh out of a package also I wish it leaned further back almost flat so I could throw my bed away and replace it with this chair. I would give 5 stars but nothing is perfect, improvements can always be made.

10/10Product quality is great. Perfect lumbar support for peolonged hours of gaming. Easy to assemble, it took me 15 minutes to put it together myself. I highly recommend this product!
