RESPAWN RSP-900 Racing Style, Reclining Gaming Chair, 35.04" - 51.18" D x 30.71" W x 37.01" - 44.88" H, Gray

Update: I've had this chair for 2 or 3 years now and it is still my office gaming chair. I've moved to two different apartments since I wrote this and so there is some wear and tear from the move such as torn faux leather. There is now a tear right under where my hand would rest on the front side of the right hand rest and tears where my calves are on the leg rest. Ive had one part loosen on me during this whole time which is the bolt on back part of the chair where it connects with the arm rest, but that was easily fixed by re-tightening it. It is still the most comfortable chair in my house. I might get another one to replace this one soon for the grey fabric one for a change in breathability. To remedy the sweatiness in the summer, ive tied a hoodie around the head rest so that the back of covers my back from the leather of the chair. Its extra cushion and keeps me from sweating. Either than that, it is still going strong. Hope this update helps. Backstory: I am not a professional reviewer or pro gamer. Every 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.

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.

10/10 Product 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!

Por el momento está bueno solo es usarlo y esperar con el tiempo, todavía no puedo calificar asta esperar unos meses. Pero llego en perfectas condiciones y sin ningún rasguño o roto, todo muy bien y cómodo.

Note: this was purchased to replace a PC gaming chair; this unit is technically made for console play but this review treats it for the PC sector. Also, as the title shows. I modified mine while building to have wheels (which it otherwise lacks) and an upgraded head rest. Both components were taken from a “RS Gaming Davanti” chair. It’s a good chair very comfortable, decent seat quality and materials, and a very sturdy, stable and snug feel. (at least for a larger man at the edge of its weight limit) but it may not work for those who are very particular for adjustments. As it lacks any sort of control or articulation beyond the reclining function and rotation. I strongly recommend ordering a base with caster wheels (or salvaging one from another chair as I did) for those who aim to use it in a PC setup. As it comes WITHOUT wheels. It should work with most 2in compatible bases. (See image) The back support is okay. But non-adjustable as I mentioned earlier, add a cushion if needed. The included Head rest… it’s the standard one in all the usual “gaming” chairs, mediocre. As I mentioned in the note, I changed it out. The armrests are great, despite being non-adjustable it makes up for being very plush. Overall, a very comfortable chair to use with some shortcomings that can be alleviated by modifications.
