merax high back gaming chair..
https://www.amazon.com/Merax-Executive-Leather-Footrest-Reclining/dp/B01H4NK4CO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_pdt_img_top?ie=UTF8&th=1 chair arrive with the box in not so great condition box was crushed and retaped like it had kept opening up in transport , it was a thin cardboard box for a item of its packaged bulk and weight , but all parts were in and all good condition no scratches or blemish's
assembly was easy ansd as common as any desk chair you would assemble your self at home , mater of fact had less assembly or bolting up 4 bolts for the back mounting and 2 for each arm then 2 for a cover where the back mounts to the seat [ you know trhat can be optional thing that dont really need to be on anyway except for apperance sake ]
from reviews i sen guys state the chair had a strong new chair smell out of the box but did not notice any with mine i assumed that the ''PU'' leather ment it stinked
PU = It's a shortened term for puteo, which is Latin for "to stink, be redolent, or smell bad."
i did not experance this at all
my thoughts of this chair are pretty plain to start i am a good 6' tall and 220 lbs.
with my seating habits the chair fits me pretty good the back head rest was fine for me once i got the chairs back adjusted where i found the best , the backs ''wings '' did at first feel a little tight around my waist but after a hr. or so never noticed that and now feel more nateral . tha padding of the back rest is nice and a more comfortable feel then my old chair that i felt i needed to add a pillow to it
the seat feels fine on my butt and seems to have nice padding as well to where i did not think another place to add a pillow ,all in all i think the back and seat has decent comfortable padding . i also like the lumbar support pillow once it mashed in to form from my use .
back and butt comfort for me i'll give it a +
adjustments
not much to say here so i''l just do the cants
no tilt or pitch of the seat for leaning back a bit with the back in upright this is somthing i did like in a common office chair but so far the desgin of this chair it been a non factor . just setting the backs recline to a spot i like and let it ride i was worryed that when reclining to a point you may try to slide out of the seat being it dont tilt with it to hold your butt in place , but seems fine and i been staying put .
arm rests are not adjustable but piviot with the chairs recline . i did think the forward part of the arm rests did adjust up and dowm but thats solid , but for me the armrests are in a good comfortable position
the main thing for me was a chair that offered ''FULL'' arm rests not the ''T'' style so common and never seems to be where i want to rest my arms [gosh i hate them ''T'' arm rests ]
seat hight
it seems this chair has been revised from what i see like from amazom pictures and specs and whats sead in a few reviews
the pistion on mine dont pretrud through the base as far as seen here
this semed to add at least 2'' to the low hight from the ground to the seat
from amazom the specs of that are 17'' to 19'' on there example but mine is 19'' at the low point
the arm rests are up there as well . from the floor to the topmost part the armrest is at 28-1/2 '' so thats not fitting under most desks
from this revciew at amazon
''I'm only 5'4", and the chair sits too low to the ground even for me. The height adjustment at its highest level leaves me feeling like I can't type properly because I'm too low. ''
dont know what chair hes talking about sure aint this one this chair i got sits tall to me at its low point [opinion]
i'll give adjustments a A [could add real seat tilt when in upright or pitch when reclining , and maybe then adjustable arm rests for up and down , but so far a non issue ]
build quaility
as new seems pretty sturdy and heavy nothing seems loose or wobbles
the PU leather feel nice arm rest that adjusts with the recline seem tight and piviots with ease when doing the recline
the wheels are styandered plastic like from anyrun of the mill office chair thtas ok but for this chair as it is so far that kinda gives it a cheap look that throws off the overall apperance . if it had custom caster wheels or a next best that would be cool .
the base is metal as well but hard to say if any better then plastic as far as durability goes but with the chrome and the chrome piston looks good and the wheel base is a bit wider then most 28'' wheel to wheel
about the leg rest ??? just dont know where to go on that . just seems like for me somthing that may easy break off if you put too much weight on it the wrong way ???? and kinda short extending out for a longer leged person [hits me just below the knees more like in the calves when you would feel it need to hit you around at your ankels
lets just say i dont intend to use it if i dont have to
build quality i'll give a A for all but the leg rest [that's yet to be determined ]
now for me the big con , PRICING .
today at amazon this chair is $192 to $209 depending on color
i gave from walmart $149 delivered to store pickup
i do fell at that price its nice a chair and right , but now getting near 200 bucks and you if like them ''T'' style arm rests maybe best to look at something else for now . i just dont see it at thart pricing today [opinion i'm a cheapskate anyway ]
so far for the price i gave at $149 for this chair i have to say i'm satisfied with any new chair i do expect ackwardness at first being your so use to your old chair but now with this little time i spent in it , and ''adjusting '' thing s out for it it fgwwl more comfortable then the fiorst time i sat in it after i asembled it
now its time for that time will tell on long term durability
thanks
any questions just post and I will try to answer
