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.

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

Secretlab vs. Blacklyte - Support / Durability?

I dont have experience with Secretlab, and I've only had my Blacklyte athena pro for like 3 weeks, but I'm enjoying it so far. Came nicely packaged and assembly was easy.

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
