Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

My initial review is as follows: APPEARANCE AND FINISHES: The High Quality PU leather feels really soft and supple, and it has a nice, bright white finish. The stitching looks great as well, the seams are all intact, and the overall construction of the chair seems as though it wasn't rushed through and shoved out as fast as possible. There is definite attention to detail. I didn't notice this in the pictures when I ordered it, but there is actually a carbon fiber detail pattern on the sides of the inside of the chair, which looks really great! CHAIR MECHANICS AND ASSEMBLY: This chair was easy to assemble (the instructions COULD have been a little more clear since they were for assembly of the other premium chair models, but we figured it out easily enough). It took my husband and I probably 45 minutes to put one together, and even less time to put the second together since we already knew how to do it at that point. I wasn't missing any components, and there were tools included in the box to help put the chair together if you don't have tools handy. The lift function works as advertised, although you need to be off the chair to use it, and it goes back down smoothly and easily when you are sitting in it as well. The back can recline to 180 degrees flat, and you don't feel at all like you're going to tip over backwards. The arm rests go up and down smoothly, they turn in and out easily, slide forward and backwards as well, and click into place. COMFORT: I'd always heard that racing-style gaming chairs are kind of uncomfortable, but I have bucket seats in my car and find them really comfortable personally. This chair is no exception. I DO wish the seat was a little wider because I have wide hips, but I can still sit comfortably in the chair, it just might not be comfortable for someone larger.
