I have my gaming chair that I'm using as a desk chair. It took two hours to assemble although people in the reviews said it took them an hour. I guess my dad and I work slower. Also, the video instructions didn't match my chair even though I clicked the link on the manufacturer's website that allegedly led to the correct video.
Overall, though, assembly wasn't bad. We had one hiccup, but it was obvious quickly that we'd made a mistake and I figured out the correct way pretty easily. I'm calling this a win.
I ordered the version with the footrest because I thought it would be cool to kick back and write sometimes, but it only took a couple of hours to hate it. What bugged me was that when it was supposedly stowed underneath the seat, it would slide out and hit the backs of my calves. All the time.
Overall, though, the chair is more comfortable than my old chair. I had to ditch the lumbar pillow that came with the chair and replaced it with my old backrest cushion that I'd ordered when the other chair became too much to deal with. But again, that's minor.
The only thing that I hate about this chair--so far--is that it smells horrible! I'm hoping that the odor will dissipate over time. It might already be doing this because I used to be able to smell it walking down the hallway to my office, but I can't any longer. It's still pretty strong, though, and I'm not sure anything smells worse than fake leather. :-(
If the stink goes away, then I'd give the chair a thumbs up, but right now, my response is meh.
