Oversteel - ULTIMET Professional Gaming Chair, Breathable Fabric, 2D Armrests, Height Adjustable, 180° Reclining Backrest, Gas Piston Class 3, Up to 120Kg, Black

I've been thinking about getting a decent chair for a while now. I work at home at least 3 days a week and my job means I'm pretty much at my desk the whole time. With my last basic office chair not giving much comfort or support I took the dive and got this beats. It was super easy to get together, maybe 15 mins tops, if even that. I got this on prime day at circa £100 bit even at the normal £140 it is very competitively porcied vs other chairs out there, and waaaay under the price of some brand ones. It looks great, I went dark grey and whilt and it looks really cool, very happy with it. It cushions me nicely, the raised lip at the side of the seat holds me in place and makes me feel supported, as do the wings put the side of the back part. The cushions actually work a that for me. I sit upright and the lumber cushion gives me a really good posture and the neck pillow ensures I can keep that spine in place all the way up. Height and seat tilt adjustable as well as the back angle being adjustable too, so you can get it how you want it. Fully capable of slouching in it of that's what you want. My only slight grumble, and it's minimal, is the arms. Again height adjustable which is good, and they are actually comfortable too... but they don't lock on place very well in regards of the way they face. You cam angle them to the left, fowrad, right etc, but if you move to much whilst resting on them they don't stay in place. Minimal and it shouldn't put you off this chair. Excellent item, fairly priced, highly recommended!!

The Oversteel ULTIMET Professional Gaming Chair stands out as a pinnacle of comfort and performance. Its breathable fabric ensures a cool and comfortable seating experience during long gaming sessions. The 2D armrests provide customizable support, while the height adjustment feature caters to individual preferences. The 180° reclining backrest, coupled with a reliable gas piston Class 3, allows users to find the perfect angle for relaxation or intense gaming. With a robust weight capacity of up to 120kg, this chair combines durability with ergonomic design. The sleek gray/white color scheme adds a touch of sophistication to any gaming setup. Overall, the Oversteel ULTIMET delivers on its promise of a professional gaming experience, making it a solid investment for avid gamers.

Considering the price point, I thought this chair was great value. The putting together was a little finicky, instructions could be better and some of the parts didn’t align quite right but I got it together and all in all, very comfortable and sturdy. I was going to opt for a Secret Labs chair but at a £500 price point it was out of my budget. Not only does this look nice and expensive, it is comfortable and rigid. Love it!!

So, let's start with the good parts: - The chair backrest can be adjusted quite well - Besides being able to adjust the angle between the backrest and seat, the whole upper side can tilt as well - The foam is comfortable and, in general, feels nice to sit in. - somewhat easy to assemble. And let's go over the nitpicks: - The tilt, which I love on chairs, has an issue when locking it, where it doesn't lock symmetrically on both sides. Over time, this will start to feel wrong as you naturally use the backrest for support, as your left side will lean further back - The straps used to hold the lumbar cushion feel jarring, and the lumbar support will very quickly flatten out to nothing. - The arm rests don't have the range of motion you would expect, and they are too short for me. This might be fine for shorter people. The dealbreakers: - The chair quality is not there. It says up to 120 kilos, but I weigh 100, and I've started to notice a lot of issues with the chair. The first thing to give in was the piston, as it slowly compressed. Then, one of the legs broke off after only three months of use. And I've had 60$ chairs that lasted me well over a year This chair might be fine for someone lighter than me, but I just can't recommend it at this price point.

I'm the type of person that spends a lot of time at their computer/desk due to work and also being a big gamer. The chair was very easy to put together and done relatively quick. The chair was comfy to but after a few hours I found the edges of the seat would dig begin to hurt, however, after a few more hours of use I no longer have this problem and cannot fault the chair! I was worried about this brand as never heard anything about Oversteel but I'm super happy with the quality and my purchase! I look forward to purchasing future products from this company in the not so far future!

This OVERSTEEL gaming chair is a fantastic addition to my gaming setup! The sleek black design with ergonomic support keeps me comfortable during long sessions. I love the adjustable armrests and lumbar support, which help reduce strain and maintain good posture. The sturdy base and smooth-rolling wheels make it easy to move, and the high-quality materials feel built to last. A great choice for any gamer looking for comfort and style!

Normally I'm not much of a fan of gamer style chairs but because the cheaper options for office chairs tend to be rebrands of the same two or three flimsy models I decided to roll the dice and go with this one and was pleasantly surprised. The chair is comfortable, solid and sturdy build and the back of the chair is tall enough to be able to fully lean back on it. The cushions also help with keeping a good posture while seated. The back can also be reclined all the way back though I'm not sure if there is much use in having it flat with the seat. Assembly was reasonably easy though I would definitely recommend an extra set of hands for attaching the back.

My first 'gaming' chair, so no other brands to compare to. Reviewing after approx 17-18 months use. tl;dr - Not bad, but definitely not great. It'll do for bridging the gap between now and when I get a better chair. Looks 5/5. Can't fault it. Once assembled, it looks clean. In an office set-up, it'd look a bit out of place, but in front of a gaming PC and the RBG that comes with it, the chair looks wonderful. Material 4/5 Metal, plastic, faux leather, fabric and dense foam. It looks premium, though the plastic doesn't look great. They could have made it look a little more industrial (how, I don't know) but it's fine as I'm not really looking at the plastic bits when I'm sat on it. The fabric is nice, not rough to the touch and looks great. Durability 2.5/5 Ehhhhhhhhhhhh. This is where it falls down. Lets start with the foam. I spend anywhere from 2-8 hours Mon-Fri in the chair, for work, gaming, watching TV etc. It's basically my work and entertainment hub. I sit in multiple positions; one knee up one leg down, cross-legged, at a diagonal angle and lean against the back wings and how normal people sit. I've used the recliner a few times but not often enough that I remember it's there. With this in mind, the foam on the seat has massively dipped. While it contours certain sitting positions, it aggravates others, so now I'm forced to sit in one or two positions whereas I used to be able to change positions. Given the dip is more than likely uneven, it feels like I'm bent slightly to one side and I'm compensating with my core which gives an ache under my ribs on one side after prolonged sessions. Think of an old mattress with a dip in the middle; you can sleep on it but you wish you had another mattress. The hydraulic pipe seems to be moving/wiggling a lot more than it used to when first assembled. No idea if this is normal of hydraulic chairs after time, but the pipe wobbles left and right slightly when shifting my weight and doesn't sit flush. This may also be contributing to my overcompensating and my rib pain, but unconfirmed. For the sake of fairness, it could be me being accustomed to sitting in a bad position. It still works as intended, raising and lowering when the lever is pulled. I've not really changed the height often, mostly by accident when trying to recline THE ARM RESTS. MY WORD! They are AWFUL. Straight away they are uncomfortable, and if you have a high desk, completely useless. I had to buy memory foam arm rests to boost the height so my arms were actually level with my desk. The travel is only a few inches. They have 3 different angles in which they can be rotated; outward, neutral, or inward. This is useful for when changing seating positions in the chair, but after time, the mechanism gets to a point where you have to use such force to get them to swivel, it feels like they're going to break, followed by a loud "CRACK" as you force the mechanism to accept the position you want to swivel the arm rests in. I thought I broke it the first time it happened. They are fixed position, so you can't move the arm rest stems back or forward. Given the chair can recline 180 degrees, the arm rests being fixed basically means no arm rests when reclined. The plastic covers to hide the screw heads at the side don't last, either. Mine popped off within a few weeks and won't go back on. But, as it stands, the chair hasn't ripped, fallen apart, or stopped working in any way. Ergonomics 3.5/5 I'm in two minds about this. I could just be getting used to what actual ergonomics are, I could be in bad sitting positions assuming it's good, or it could be the chair. The head pillow always falls down below the nape of my neck, and such it's always being readjusted, which is annoying. Same with the back rest if you're a mover like myself. I can't say either of the supports have done much to my notice. Still have some lower back pain. Recline, and the arm rests become completely useless. They're inconvenient at best regardless of position. I'm not a fan of the 'wings' either. I was under the assumption they'd keep me in place for a healthy sitting position but they just restrict my movement. When sitting cross legged they dig in to my thigh But, it's still intact, and it's still working as a chair. Would I buy another once this reaches end of life? No. Not at all. There are similar chairs at a lower price point, or you can spend an extra 40/50 for one that's better. IMO this chair shouldn't be more than £100, so if you can get it at that price point, I'd give a cautious recommendation, but at £160, it's a hard no.
