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...

This seems to me to be a product for a problem that doesn't exist not to mention just a bad design in general. No one is going to put one of these at a desk, ever, since you couldn't get out of the thing given how close it would have to be to the desk to use with a keyboard/mouse. It has wheels but from what I can see they are far too small to ever work effectively on shag carpet... which most will have in their homes. For hard floors they would probably work fine.
For the living room, as others have stated, you'd have to be single on top of having poor judgement in interior design. I could see this in a dedicated game room, maybe, but the fact that it doesn't recline, for it's price, makes it a very poor value overall. Again as others have stated you can get a decent recliner for this price and it will likely be more comfortable.
Founded in 2005 in San Diego, California by CEO Min-Liang Tan and Robert Krakoff, Razer began in a tiny shared office of gamers, with a mission to create high quality products designed solely to meet the demanding needs of gamers like themselves.
Riot Games was founded as an indie game developer in 2006 by Brandon "Ryze" Beck and Marc "Tryndamere" Merrill in Los Angeles.[6] The company announced its only game, League of Legends: Clash of Fates, in October 2008,[7] and released the game in October 2009 as simply League of Legends. Their game uses a free-to-play model, supported by microtransactions rather than ads or boxed copy sales.
Also this is directly from your own website. E-Blue Gaming is a 16x award winning Gaming Furniture and Gaming Peripherals Manufacturer that started in 1999 by a group of passionate gamer's from Japan and China.
I know nothing about your chair or company personally but you really should try to be more professional and do your research before replying to someone. Or have someone more proficient in English respond.
On a side note, isn't everything made in China anyway?
The second is about the commitment companies really make to selling products here in the US. Arozzi, for example, has a substantial HQ/Operations center here in the US even though they are based out of Sweden and likely manufacturer in China... and they hire US citizens to run those operations. To me that shows respect for your customer and market. Companies like E-blue in the other hand don't (to my knowledge). In this particular case they can even be bothered to hire a true native English speaking community manager. After seeing what greed does, like Amazon and the "fulfilled by Amazon" program along with manipulation of user review system I really have a bad taste in my mouth for companies overseas that sell in the US without showing real commitment to the market other than fake reviews and manipulation. Hell most of the videos they show of "offices" are just franchise gaming centers using their products that have zero to do with actually supporting customers here. The ONE picture he shows of the US "office" is what, a staging area for products? I certainly can't tell from that picture.
I do want to point out that E-Blue does have a corporate office here in the US. The person that is answering you is working here in the US and is the head of operations here. E-Blue has also already opened Gaming Centers here in the US that look similar to this.
Cheers.
My apologies if my comments were overly harsh or sounded like personal attacks on their representative who posted.
My feelings on the chair remain the same. I think I can appreciate why Massdrop is featuring this item in a drop, it's certainly unique, as you stated, but it just doesn't look like a good design or choice for a gaming chair on Massdrop especially considering the alternatives.
