What are the better chair brands now?
I really like my Blacklyte Athena chair but if I had the money Id spring for Fractal Designs Refine chair. It looks quality and comfortable and with all the features you would need for a good solid office chair.

Just need help finding the right chair
I had the secret lab for 2 weeks and returned it (lost 50bucks on return shipping- but overall support was fine for me- I see lots of bad reviews though). Believe the reviews about it being stiff- that's why I had to return it. I'm 6'2 300lbs and mostly lounge back playing with controller- the backr

2 months with Secretlab and I wish I’d trusted my gut earlier
I have regular Blacklyte Athena (you can see a pic of it on my profile), and I love it. I went with normal Athena based on the fact that I wanted fabric and the blue color, and the bigger seat than the pro. Also, I heard that people who had the pro version noticed that the steel frame dug into their

Blacklyte Kraken Pro... very disappointed and frustrated with them.
bro you must just be slow or something because i received my blacklyte athena pro chair today and took maybe 15 minutes to put together, also the screw driver it comes with is not rocket science u just slide the silver part into the black part🤣 chair feels very well made and definitely worth the mon

Gaming chair suggestions for a bigger and picky guy?
Take a look at the blacklyte athena pro. I just picked one up a couple months ago and really like it. Never had a chair with tilt and recline features but I can't imagine going back now. Adjustable lumbar is pretty nice too I've read it's essentially a better quality and lower priced secretlab

What are the best gaming chairs worth the money these days?
I’ve had the blacklyte Athena x for a few months now and I really like it, it’s similar to the secretlab titan evo but it’s cheaper and more comfortable in my opinion

anyone got any experience with this chair? moving from a 2022 secret labs titan
kinda felt the same way about my old Titan - that firm seat was rough after a couple hours. i switched to a chair with a cold-cured foam seat and it made a huge difference. the Blacklyte Athena actually has a noticeably softer seat than the Titan from what i've read. might be worth checking out if y

Whats the best gaming/office chair out there?
for $800 the best cushioning and support you can get in my opinion would be the secret labs titan nanogen (and it’s on sale rn) if your on the budget the blacklyte athena pro or regular version if you don’t care for lumbar for around $300. but do not get the regular titan its seat feels like a brick
