Secretlab Titan Evo XL Black Gaming Chair - Leatherette, Ergonomic

I have a bad back and I work from home. I've previously come across no chair that helps my back. I've had a lot of them over the years, from your Office Depot special to a cheap Chinese gaming chair. After my back kept giving me trouble while sitting in said cheap Chinese gaming chair, I made the decision to get the Titan. They'd come highly recommended by other techies and I figured the price would be worth it if it would help me get through work better. I've had it a few days now and have been quite pleased with the product. My back hasn't been troubling me nearly as much. I find myself actually wanting to settle into the chair and let it support me, instead of leaning forward and slouching all the time. The cheap Chinese gaming chair started creaking after a few days. The Titan is still whisper quiet. I fully expect this chair will hold up for many years. The entire frame, including the base, is made of metal. The leatherette covering is soft and supportive. The cushions are sturdy. They may be a little firm at first, but I can tell I'm gently breaking them in. When I was assembling the chair, I knew it was different. Ordinarily, the seat and the backrest are completely separated, and you have to use the arms to connect both pieces. Not the case with the Titan. One of the brackets attached to the seat was locked in place, and you're instructed to fit the backrest to it first. It was locked at an angle that ensured the screws didn't crossthread. After tightening all the screws on old chairs, I could still detect wobbliness between the backrest and seat. Not so with the Titan. It appears to live up to its name. Overall, it is a fantastic product. The price is well worth it.

Pros: Chair overall is high quality. Assembly is very easy. The magnetic pillow stays put and is very comfortable. Seat is firm but not hard and conforms after a few days to your body. Lumbar support is very good adjustment is nice. Backrest is hard at first, if you are used to a very soft chair and most likely bad posture the chair may hurt your back as you adjust to sitting properly Cons: My backrest came with crooked logo stitching. After a week the lumbar support has begun to pop loudly and creak when I sit against it. It does not effect the functionality or comfort of the chair but is very annoying and worries me for longevity. The height adjustment knob also came with cosmetic damage. I have contacted Secretlab support and I am waiting to hear back. For the price things like this shouldn't be an issue. Updated Sept 2022: SecretLab support responded and after verifying my various issues they shipped me a replacement backrest. I don't know if the first one was just defective or old stock from a previous revision but the replacement's foam is much softer and the lumbar support seems to actually move up and down where previously it felt as if it barely moved which I thought was just how it was designed. The stitching is also perfect. One defect is the threads in one of the mounting holes was damaged and took some effort to install. Everything else is good and the chair is more comfortable than it was before.

When I first sat in this chair, I hated it. Now hear me out, it takes like 20 minutes or so to put it together. After I paid the crazy high price for this and put a lot of work into building it I wanted to love it immediately. I didn't. I sat down and immediately hated how it felt. It felt like a wooden seat in comparison to my older chair. But after using it for over a week I began to like it more and more. It's not memory foam, it's firm. Which is good! It works really well as a chair. It's what it needs to be. Some people use this once and hate it and get rid of it. You have to get used to it. I was not gonna be able to package this up to return it so maybe I'm compensating for the price I paid by just getting used to it? Either way 60+ hours sitting in it so far and I like it. Amazing build quality. Wish it were cheaper though.

My partner has been wanting this chair for years. He's read hundreds of reviews and had it in his list forever. We finally splurged. He has several injuries from a car accident and is particular about the support and comfort of furniture. He appreciates the support and adaptability of this chair. He says it is far more comfortable than any other gaming chair he's owned, and should last a lot longer. If it really does last, it'll be worth the money I suppose. I got his old chair (I don't game, but I work beside hime sometimes) and there is a huge difference in functionality and comfort, so I understand why he loves it so much.

So the package was delivered to me w/signature pretty early in the morning. It took me about an hour to set everything up, and that was mostly just finding the correct part to put. It was extremely easy and seamless. One thing I did notice is that most of the packaging had damage in some way. It looks like it's been opened and retaped. Thankfully none of the parts themselves show any form of damage. I will knock off a point though, a LOT Of the inside boxes were dented which gave me the impression this isn't new. Once I finished setting up and sat down, I noticed that the seat base is just way too wide for me. I'm a tall but skinny guy so I imagine for most people it'd be fine. I just find that resting my arms on both rests at the same time feels a bit distant. No big deal. Honestly, I keep comparing this to my $14 walmart chair and ask myself "would I pay 42 times to price of this walmart chair for a $600 secretlab chair?" and I find the answer to be "no." It's definitely way more comfortable than that $14 chair, but I think I would rather own 42 walmart folding chairs. Not sure what I would do with them, but I think it'd be better value than having one of these secretlab chairs. Don't get me wrong, the chair feels nice, but does it feel $600 nice? Not at all. Especially considering that we are paying an extra $100 to buy through here than direct through their website. Also, the included magnetic pillow is kinda flimsy. Like it will slide down all the time when I put it against the headrest area. i have to keep adjusting it by pulling it up a bit, but then it'll slide down again. So eh, I might just take it off and not use it. Overall, I think 4 stars is fair. It is a very high quality item for sure, but my perspective finds it really hard to justify this purchase. That could be $580 in groceries and a $14 chair!

I really like this XL chair. Being 6'2", I've found it to be appropriately sized – it doesn't feel cramped like some others. Plus, it's incredibly comfortable and feels very durable. It was also a breeze to put together.

3 stars for the ease of construction and quality packaging/parts. I was very impressed by this. I love the magnetic headrest. However, this is not a chair I would recommend for anyone who has a problem with lower back pain. The chair does not offer proper support for the coccyx/tailbone and the cushions are very hard. I've had to order memory foam cushions for the seat and my lower back so that I can sit in this chair for long periods of time without experiencing pain in my coccyx and lower back areas. I imagine this chair is great for many, but for those like me who need a little extra support in the lower back and tailbone areas, do your wallet a favor and look elsewhere.

First impression: Very well packaged. Wonderful assembly instructions. Easy to assemble, approximately 30 minutes. Sitting: seat cushion seems a bit firm, although still comfortable, and will probably last many years before collapsing. The chair has the look and feel of well-built quality and is likely the last gaming chair that I'll ever have to buy. Pricey, but worth it.

Deze stoel is gewoon prachtig. Je merkt gewoon dat hij met veel zorg en aandacht is vervaardigd. Hij biedt uitstekend comfort en heeft een stijlvol en chic uiterlijk.

Très bonne chaise confortable et de très bonne qualité, facile à assembler

Nada mas ver el embalaje al detalle de todos los accesorios te das cuenta que estas ante un producto TOP. El precio que pagas por algo así no lo veo mal. Vengo de una silla NACON y para los que tienen este tipo de silla barata, el cambio es brutal en mi opinión. Excelente en todos los sentidos esta silla. Si realmente quieres algo cómodo y premium esta es tu silla..

Sin duda unsa silla de calidad, super bien hecha, firme pero cómoda y el respaldo miy bien junto con la almohada para la nuca de memoryfoam esta excelente sin duda aunque esta mas cara que el precio normal por la importación y no se que mas, valio la pena pero si la pueden conseguir más barata sería lo mejor.

Excellent chair , then again it should be for over £600 , packaged very well, sturdy quality comfortable chair. Even has a fancy Allen key ha ha .
