Hi,

I am currently looking for a new chair I can game and work in. My old chair (70 €, 7 years ago) is now loosing its fake lether and little flakes are everywhere. I am willing to pay a premium.

I found the following chair I liked but I have never heard the brand Spawn before. Since I would like to buy this once and if possible a good product I would like to now if anybody has any experience. There is not even on Amazon a rating. And when I clicked through their vendors I couldn’t find any either. I think it is east European company. Maybe there is a language barrier I am facing, since on YouTube I couldn’t find any good reviews either.

Please internet, tell me if I’ll regret my choice if i would buy it.

For anyone who has advice here are my requirements:

  • Nice bum cushion
  • I am small so the height should be adjustable
  • Armrests
  • No fake leather please
  • Back should be high enough to lean my head against
  • Needs to look nice. Please no all black chairs. (Well actually I would like a chair which looks cool/cute/pleasant)
  • Rolls, if possible exchangeable
  • It doesn’t need to be a gaming chair
  • I want to sit on it legs crossed
  • Up to 500 but only if I fall in love immediately

    Don’t buy a gaming chair. They’re cheaply made, extremely uncomfortable and will fuck up your back. Look for a good office chair,—or if you have a giant screen like me (40"+)—consider a recliner. It’s actually really comfortable with the keyboard in your lap and the mouse on an armrest (or side table next to the chair). That said, it’s not for everyone; in which case an office chair is your best bet.

    Seriously, listen to everyone in here telling you not to buy a gaming chair. We’re saying this for a reason. They’re garbage.

    Edit: I mean think about it for a minute: they’re modeled after racing seats. And what are racing seats used for? Short races. They’re not designed for extended sessions; they’re meant to keep you planted in your seat for 10 minutes at a time as you take turns at 80 MPH. Look at the kind of seats that Grand Touring cars have in them, for example: Unless the driver is young and never experienced back pain in their entire life, they’re usually not racing seats; any race driver will tell you that racing seats are not comfortable enough for extended tours.

      Mine is good. But I paid the premium for it.

      Would have been cheaper to get an office chair but just as nice, only less colourful.
