Okay, seriously, I'm going to sound like a plant review here. I love this fucking chair!
Let me preface by saying I'm coming from a garbage $150ish Broyhill off-the-shelf desk chair.
#1 I'm not a heavy guy at 165lb but holy shit. When I set the chair height I can jump in this thing and it doesn't deflect down at all. #2 It's not a la-z-boy but honestly it's comfortable - comfortable like, well, a racing seat. If you're strictly looking for relaxed comfort, okay maybe this isn't for you. If you want something 'utilitarian-comfortable', this can be adjusted perfectly for your preferred gaming style and is quite comfortable for multi-hour gaming sessions. #4 The packaging/pre-assembly is seriously on-point. It seems minor but the smart packaging leaves you the smallest and easiest amount of assembly that I think would be reasonably possible. Put the backrest on, snap the wheels in, drop the chair on the base, and put a couple plastic covers on.
So yeah, cons.. um.. #1 It's actually a little tippy frontwards. I'm guessing the weight balance is this way on purpose so that you can literally lay all the way back and lean back and it doesn't tip backwards. I mean, there's really no reason to be leaning towards the front very much. #2 Sure, I could see some higher quality on some of the parts, but c'mon this is less than twice the price of some garbage office chair from Staples, and this thing is going to last much longer. #3 I'm a pretty small guy at 5'9" 165lb and I love the fit of the chair. You could definitely go much taller, but I will admit that I could see the seat bolsters becoming uncomfortable for a large person. YMMV but it's worth noting.

JinXed08Thanks for the info! When did you order your chair if you got it from Massdrop? And how long did it take to arrive?

KikoriJoined drop on 1/26, received 2/14. Don't recall the days left in the drop when I joined etc. though, so it may vary for you.
