Red/black recliner (Respawn 900) is a great chair with only a few cons

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020

Our chair arrived one day prior to the estimated delivery date—a welcomed surprise. The chair is striking and looks exactly as pictured (red/black recliner). It feels and looks like leather but has a chemical smell. Which leads me to believe it’s pleather instead of leather. It smells like a new car but a bit more chemical-ly if that makes sense. My fiancé doesn’t mind the smell but I have a sensitive nose compared to his. It’s not overpowering and I suspect the smell will dissipate in a few weeks.

The handles work smoothly and are not difficult at all. Some folks complained that they heard squeaking or the handles took muscle to operate. That’s not the case with ours. When we assembled the chair we made sure the screws were tightened well but not “so tight using all the strength we have” or we heard it would cause squeaking.

The chair swivels and reclines. It does not rock. The foot rest is a nice feature when you just want to lay back and watch some tv. The head pillow does require adjustment for people 5’9 or above. My fiancé is 5’9 so when he sits in the chair he simply lifts it up higher. I’m 5’2 and it automatically sits perfectly at the base of my neck when I sit back. His feet do hang over a bit (a good foot) when the foot rest is extended but it’s still comfortable for him.

The side pocket is a nice feature but it’s velcro’d under the armrest. It’ll hold your tv remote and maybe a few other small items but if the bag gets too heavy the velcro starts to detach. I would’ve preferred metal button attachments to secure the bag.

The drink holder is a good average size. Fits a beer bottle/soda can/drinking glass with no problem.

The bucket seat is on the cozier side. I weigh 135 lbs and the chair leaves about 4“ gaps on both sides. It makes me feel safe and secure in the chair, as it feels like a comfortable fit. My fiancé is about 190 lbs/medium build and the chair fits him cozier, leaving about 1-2” gaps on both sides. The chair looks like it was custom tailored to his width.

My fiancé does sweat a bit when he games and since leather or pleather does not breathe, the chair gets warm or wet from the sweat. It doesn’t bother him because he used to sweat on the last chair he had. It hasn’t bothered him enough to lay down a towel or anything yet but we do gently wipe the chair down to remove the sweat.

Overall, the chair is comfortable for gaming, reading, or watching TV. I wish they added a lumbar pillow for lower back support but that’s an easy fix with putting a small pillow back there. It’s a great chair and we’re very happy with the purchase. My fiancé really likes it. I’ll give an update in 6 mos. or so on how it’s doing & wear/tear. But so far, we highly recommend it.

It was fairly simple to put together, follow the instructions. It is comfortable but it is heavy once put together. Its a good gaming chair to access multiple monitors and tv.

Better for people under 6 feet tall?

I hope to use this chair for "relaxing" (enjoying large screen video and surround music), and working with a laptop on lap. At 6' 2" I am probably too tall for this type of chair. My feet stick out well beyond the end of the calf rest, and the head cushion is below my neck. However, the chair has good potential since it is wide enough, the back rises high enough, and it feels good against arms, thighs and back. It was easy to assemble using the recommended racheting socket wrench for two of the screws. I will try adding a footstool and restrapping the head and lumbar pillows to better match my dimensions. Will update the rating if these easy modifications improve it for sessions lasting more than one hour.

Swivel recliner gamer chair under $300, huzzah!

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020

Size: 35.04" - 51.18" D x 30.71" W x 37.01" - 44.88" HColor: WhiteVerified Purchase

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 18.5-19in
Chair 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 back
Chair 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 22in
Chair back head rest/top of the chair not the pillow are 12.5in.
Chair arm rests are 20.5in x 6in
Neck 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.

Very easy to put together. Very comfortable.

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2020

Size: 35.04" - 51.18" D x 30.71" W x 37.01" - 44.88" HColor: BlueVerified Purchase

Pros:
-I was able to put this chair together fairly quickly and very very easily.
-The back part assembles to the chair separately so that you can have independent movement of the recline.
-The 360 swivel is very nice. Since I can't roll it back from my desk, I can still just swivel and get out of my desk area no problem.
-The back can lock into place at any point during its recline so you're not just stuck with open or close. I'm average height (5'4") and I can reach the handles no problem.
-I love that the leg rest is arched, it feels so natural and comfortable for my legs.

Cons:
-I like that the pillow is detachable, but the holes where the straps go through are very hard plastic, so if you have to remove the pillow it's not the most comfortable to lay back on.
-My one hesitation with the chair was that I thought it was going to be too short. And frankly, it is. I would have to keep my shoulders raised all the time leaning on my desk to type anything. Fortunately, I'm mostly okay with just keeping my keyboard on my lap, and using my mouse on the arm since I'm at least very comfortable while doing so. (my particular desk has a notch in the middle and steel bars going underneath the desk so there isn't really any easy keyboard trays I could attach that wouldn't also hit my legs)
-Worse case I could build a base for it to raise it up. But for right now I'm okay.
-My neck was uncomfortable since my monitors were originally raised. But I got a monitor arm and pulled them down so now its pretty comfortable. I wanted a mount anyway since I'm blind and was always squinting.

Notes:
-I do wish that the attachable pocket could be moved to the right side but there is only velcro on the left.
-If I was using this for gaming and not as a desk chair then it would be perfect. As a desk chair, it's not the best. But it's also advertised as a gaming chair, so I'm not going to fault it for being used for a different purpose.
-I still love it a lot. It is great having a recliner racing back chair. I've almost fallen asleep in it a few times.

I took pictures of how high my desk is compared to the chair.
Desk - 28 inches high.
Desk to seat (while leg rest is open) 9 inches
Desk to seat (leg rest closed) 10 inches
Desk to legs while sitting 6 inches

Read this before listening to the bad reviews (LOVE this chair so much)

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021

Size: 35.04" - 51.18" D x 30.71" W x 37.01" - 44.88" HColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Okay, I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this chair and it was such an incredibly difficult decision to make given all of the bad reviews so I want to address the pros & cons people have been posting in hopes of helping you reach a decision faster. So here it goes.

- "easy to assemble" Yes, it was easy to assemble. I do not assemble things. I do not have much experience assembling anything and even I could figure it out. So if you aren't savvy like me, you'll be fine. It took me about 1 hour to assemble with no help in a small room with crummy lighting. If this sort of thing comes naturally to you then you'll have it done much quicker. The instructions are pretty clear and it was not frustrating like I thought it would be. 5/5 easy to assemble.

- "Poor Quality" I'm surprised I saw so many of these comments? I've owned about maybe 3-4 gaming chairs now (including this one) and this one is by far the best quality. I mean, if you're looking for top notch the best in the biz something that will last +15 years then maybe you're looking for a $500+ chair. I plan to upgrade myself with a $500-$1,000 chair in the future but for the price I paid for this one? Oh my gosh. It's great. I don't need it to last forever because that's not what I'm paying for. 5/5 quality. Please note I just bought this chair about 3 weeks ago so it hasn't experienced it's normal wear and tear yet.

- "a loud clunking noise when you lower the handle for the foot rest" For real? Lol Yes it does make a noise but it's really not loud and definitely not a dealbreaker. I would have missed out on a great chair if I didn't buy it for only that reason. 4/5 noise level I guess?

- "uncomfortable" WHAT EVEN. I don't understand! I'm so comfortable! I work 10 hour days 5 days a week and have owned it for 3 weeks now. I am so comfortable it's ridiculous. My back pain is gone and I'm just overall satisfied with this chair. This is so bizarre to me because other people claim that regular gaming chairs (such as the last one I bought, KILLABEE Massage Gaming Chair) are more comfortable. Whaaaatttt. Gaming chairs like that don't even compare to this one. In my personal opinion, it's: regular office chair -> Killabee -> Respawn -> $500+ chairs or something in that order.

- "not suitable for tall people" CORRECT. Yes, true. Okay, so here's a very important con: this chair is reallyyyy not suitable for tall people. I am 5'0. In other words, I'm really frikin short. The arm rest cup holder BARELY aligns with me. It's almost just perfect for someone my size. It's only a little bit off. And the neck support is, again, only a little bit off. I have to realign it every time I lay down but it's no biggie. HOWEVER, for everyone else who is taller than me (which is most people) I can definitely see why you would be uncomfortable in this chair. The headrest pillow isn't designed to move very far from its initial place so tall people can't adjust it to what would be comfortable for them (although you can remove the headrest altogether, so keep that in mind).

- "back pain" As you can see from the picture I bought a lumbar support pillow and that did the trick. No back pain at all and I was having MAJOR back pain issues with my last chair. I also bought a seat cushion which helps out tremendously.

- "the material will cause you to sweat" Yes. It does get hot, which is why I have a fan pointed at my face throughout the day. I was already doing this before I got the chair so it just became a habit but it seems to do the trick.

- "no height adjustment" Correct. There is no height adjustment for the chair. This does not bother me. If it bothers you then you may want to look elsewhere.

- "awful, not worth the money. I found holes" Honestly, I have no explanation for this. That's unfortunate. Maybe they got sent one that's broken? Mine came in with all of it's pieces and nothing is torn or broken.

Overall I really love this chair. The best gaming chair I've ever owned. I do not use it for gaming. I use it for work since I work from home and I work 10 hour shifts so I do spend a large amount of the day in the chair and I feel perfectly splendid at the end of the day. If you are picky when it comes to gaming chairs and you need to be able to adjust the height, you need outstanding quality, you need it to be adjustable for a tall person then oh my gosh DON'T BUY THIS. You will hate it. If the cons I mentioned don't really bother you or if you are a woman/man of my stature (5'0, 140lbs) and are looking for a comfy chair that is worth the price THEN BUY THIS. It's perfect for you! I am so happy with this chair and if you are thinking it's too pricey. Nah, bro. Just do yourself a favor and buy it.

Anyways, thanks for reading my essay. Have a good day!

Not designed for broad shoulders

I really want to rate this chair more highly- it is sturdy, well made, largely comfortable, looks good, has a real footrest instead of some fragile extension pad, etc. However, there are several two issues with it that have made it not just unusable for me but actually led to a pretty significant shoulder injury.

1. The wingback portion of the chair is simply too narrow for my frame. I have 46" shoulders- wide, but not outlandishly so- and I just do not fit into the chair comfortably. I find myself constantly turning to get one shoulder blade or the other to fit properly, and if I do lean back into it my shoulders are rolled forward really severely. Net effect of this has been a joint impingement in my shoulder for which I'm currently working through PT.
2. The seat and especially lumbar support are lacking. The seat cushion is thin enough to very clearly feel the support bars underneath and only got worse with use. There is zero lumbar support in the chair- the chair back itself basically molds your entire body into a non-stop gamer hunch. As a last-ditch to try to salvage the chair I added an extra $100 in memory foam cushions to address both issues, but that just further wrecked the ergonomics of it.
3. Finally, this is a minor quibble compared to the first two, but the chair is not height adjustable, so if you are over around 5'8 I have trouble seeing how this would work for you.

So I wanted this chair to work for me. Thought it was cool, had the look and all of the amenities I wanted, and I was stubborn enough about it to actually injure myself trying. Don't be me. If you are over around 5'9 or have shoulders wider than around 40" (so if you wear anything larger than a medium shirt), look elsewhere for your chair.

Probably the best purchase I have made in awhile.

Backstory: Im not a professional reviewer or gamer. Everyone now and then I will write a review on stuff because I feel like good products need honest support and reviews.

I'm an older gamer and I'm 5'8 and 220 lbs. I'm a console gamer that likes long video games like Monster Hunter World and will sit in a chair for an entire day grinding it out when time lets me. Before this chair I was a "worn in office chair" kinda guy. I work hard and felt I deserved an upgrade, so i set out for my 1st gaming chair. I did a fair amount of research on Amazon, Engadget, Youtube... etc. and read all of the reviews here, so I knew I was looking for a chair for an open spot in my room and not for a desk. Unless you have a presidential sized desk, this is definitely a mini recliner type of chair and set for open spaces. Anyway, here's my honest review.

Delivery: This will probably be my only complaint. I live in a not so nice neighborhood in San Diego and the Amazon driver literally left this thing in front of my apartment building. My apartment building is not hidden or enclosed. The front of my apartment is a very busy street. In my instructions on the app, I had clearly left instructions not to leave the box anywhere on the premises and to give me a call as I wont be home till after 3pm (work). He dropped it off sometime around noon, no phone call and right in front. Literally right on the sidewalk, leaning on the building and abandoned it. If i was not tracking the delivery at work and didnt drive like a bat out of hell, this chair would now be sitting in someone else's house. What the F...? Luckily, the box is nearly 5ft tall and weighs about 80lbs. The bad thing is that it comes in a generously labeled RESPAWN box and not an Amazon box. The entire neighborhood now knows that i own a $300 gaming chair. Thank you Amazon.

Note: Anyone smaller should get some help, but people with a little muscle shouldn't have a problem carrying this inside. I carried this up 1 flight of stairs into my apartment with little to no problem.

It took me no longer than 30 mins to put together. The instructions are helpful and really isn't too complicated to put together. The bolts and washers are nicely packed in a sealed package. Almost like Duracell batteries. As a matter of fact, they add parts in case you happen to lose some. There's also some youtube unboxing videos in case you need help.

1st sit experience (Upright Position): The closest thing I can describe sitting in this chair is like sitting in the passenger seat of a nice luxury car. Think the cockpit of a BMW 7 series or a Porsche Carrera. The faux leather is nice and super cushy, but firm to the point that its comfortable, but gives you ample support. Soft enough so that it feels great to the skin, but not real leather so you're not sliding around in it. Even as stocky as I am I can still shift my butt from one side or the other comfortably. It is snug enough that it feels super comfy but not restricted enough that this felt like a child's chair. I felt as if maybe I would need a lumbar pillow, but the ergonomics of the chair hasn't really given me the yearning to get one. The support feels great simply put.

Note that he chair is warm. I normally am a person who runs warmer than most and luckily it's starting to get cooler here or I would be sweating. Faux/real leather is notorious for not breathing and will use your body heat against you. Just an fyi...

The pillow is perfect for my height and is super comfortable. It's great neck support if anything as the ergonmics fit the curvature of my back very well. I've not felt a need to detach it yet and I'm a dude who can care less for pillows.

The armrests are wide and covered in the same faux material. They're sturdy and again, super comfy. The cup holder is on the left side and as said in other reviews can fit cans of soda but nothing xl. I've used it for my vapes and glasses since I have a small folding table next to my chair anyhow. Resting your arms on the full rest though, it feels really comfortable and you can easily forget that the cupholder is there.

There is the pouch under the left armrest, but honestly, I havent used it for anything. Probably could do without it.

Unlike the reviews I've read, I cannot feel the bars in the chair. It is too plush. Then again, i cant say that its fairly worn in yet. It still has the new sheen to it. With the lack of a better description, I felt like Professor X in his super futuristic hover chair. In the upright position my feet touch the floor and I can imagine you can comfortably have hours of long conversations or can do a copious amount of paperwork in this position. Very nice. Was feeling super happy about my purchase.

Lounge Position: This is probably the most used position as I've only had it for a week and half. There are 2 levers on the side. 1 is to recline and the other is to lift the leg rest. The mechanism is kinda loud and a little clunky, but if you think about it, even of the smoothest Lay-Z-Boy, their mechanisms aren't quiet either and they're in a full enclosure muffled by heavy fabric. This chair isn't too much louder for being out in the open and it's sturdy. No complaints there. Kudos in effectively hiding it though.

The position for gaming is just right. Fair warning, this chair will make you sleepy. I was literally fighting sleep an hour into playing, my first time using it and I had to quit to take a nap after. The leg rest could be a tad higher, but really is comfortable and super sturdy where it is at. Sitting in it with my legs out, the leg rest reaches to right below my calves and right above my ankles. Perfect. I can fold my legs and push down with my feet and it is sturdy enough where I can shift myself up without feeling like its going to give. Nice design. again...as I said, super sturdy.

Fully laid back: Best thing I can compare it to is laying back in the passenger seat of a nice car. You're not exactly laying flat but you are comfortable, but unlike a bed, obviously restricted. It would be comfortable to nap in, but really I havent found a reason to use this position for anything yet.

Conclusion: Great chair. I will definitely put many miles on it. I would say, if you're not looking to buy a $500 gaming chair, but you want a nice one for you're own personal use, you can't go wrong with this one. From watching Netflix to gaming, I could sit in this thing for hours with no problem. It's definitely high quality for the price.

Tighten the bolts!

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2022

Size: 35.04" - 51.18" D x 30.71" W x 37.01" - 44.88" HColor: GreyVerified Purchase

The bolts on this chair steadily loosen. After several months of use despite thinking we fully tightened them 1 even fell out while I was moving it. I noticed a wiggle to the arm of the chair and when we investigated we found several loose and even missing bolts that made it likely parts of the chair would bend or break from the lack of support. Tighten fully, recheck frequently, and you might want to use something like loctite or thread sealant to keep the screws in place.

This probably accounts for the people who have complained of broken chairs and especially arms snapping off. I have climbed over the sides of this thing, leaned on it, sat in all sorts of weird positions pressing on the arms and back in every direction, leaned sideways to reach something until it tipped over numerous times, and even actually fell over forcefully while sitting in it when trying to stop a fight between our new and existing dog next to me. Absolutely no important part has broken or bent with the screws properly in place.

There is some minor damage to some parts of the cover over time. While the main parts of the chair you are in contact with have a fairly durable cover there are a lot of little flaps and extra bits covering the moving parts beneath the chair that have stretched, torn, and frayed. The base cover has a hole in it and you're probably better off immediately replacing it with some stretch cover or simply going without.

The other main problem with this chair is that it is not going to fit against your desk well unless you have a very open, simple desk instead of a specific size chair opening. If nothing else I catch the recliner bar on stuff all the time and take out my side table with it when sliding the chair. Even if the opening is wide enough or you have a simple flat top with no drawers or anything on the sides a standard desk without adjustable height may not be ideal for your leg height. Some desk risers improved that problem.

Since I can't slide the whole thing under my desk because the opening between drawers is too narrow I use my keyboard in my lap and my mouse on a table next to me.

Keyboard and mouse trays that fit on the arms will work on the right if wider than average but the cup holder on the left prevents nearly anything from fitting that side far enough forward you can still sit in the chair comfortably.

The odd shape and certain designs of this chair make it harder to find covers to fit it or extra cushioning. The cushion is ok for a lighter weight, health young adult or teenager but not so much for a shorter but slightly overweight adult with fibromyalgia. I've been in far less comfortable computer, office, and gaming chairs but if you are heavier or merely over time with lots of use the seat padding may become insufficient for some people on it's own. Some may need a full seat and back cushion add on, which can be hard to fit things to this odd shaped chair, but only needing a little extra I altered a regular fabric recliner cover that had some slight padding to it and tossed a folded chunky woven blanket over top to increase comfort of the thin seat, for protection of the fake leather, and to avoid sticking to the leather. A stretch cover beneath individual cushions would be easier than trying to fit any type of form fitted single piece chair cover considering it doesn't match either typical gaming/office chair shapes or regular recliner shapes.

Eventually out of annoyance of trying to get it close to my desk as well as still getting out of it or pushing it back to use the reclining function without scratching the floor we bought as low of wheel base and the smallest newer roller blade style wheels as possible. It took some effort to dismantle and hammer apart the support bar. Normally you can just buy a new piston for an office or other chair but this has some design differences due to the different starting base, lack of height adjustment, extra short bar length, and a large curved bar underneath that the top of the vertical support sits into differently than usual office chairs and similar. We had to go through the effort of taking apart and putting back together the piston that came with the chair instead of replacing it to get it on a new base.

Eventually we did succeed in making a wheeled recliner and gaming chair. Only downside to that is I'm too short to reach the brake locks on the wheels easily so I risk rolling away from my desk when the chair is leaned back.

If you want perfect you'll probably have to get a separate gaming recliner and computer desk gaming chair. The attempt to hybridize has led to oddities in the design of this chair that reduce comfort, increase failure rate of parts, and make it not as ideal for either use as a comfy chair meant for only sitting back from the tv or one for specifically sitting at a desk. Be willing to accept some inconveniences and potentially diy modifications if you want to use it as both.

Also if you aren't a teenager or shorter adult (5'3) you will probably find the dimensions wrong. If you are around or much over 150lbs you will probably find the padding insufficient for long term comfort without additional cushioning of some type eventually.
