OPSEAT Grandmaster Series 2018 Computer Gaming Chair Racing Seat PC Gaming Desk Office Chair - Black

[UPDATE: 04/19/18] After posting to twitter I had a response from OPSeat in less than 5 minutes. They requested a submit a ticket via e-mail as it was outside their normal business hours. I received a response this morning at 9:30. OPSeat is, without hesitation, honoring their 1 year warranty to replace the base at no cost. No kicking, no screaming, no frustration from my end just a promise from them to do better in the future and a new base being mailed to my home with shipping and tracking information. They have truly impressed me with both their response time and their willingness to "make it right".Overall, I'm still incredibly satisfied with this chair. It's absurdly comfortable and I cannot imagine my gaming station without it. It's truly improved my quality of life while I spend time at my PC. OPSeat provides both incredible customer service AND a product I would recommend to anyone looking for a chair....Just maybe with a cautionary (albeit amusing) tale.[UPDATE 04/18/18] WELP. Downgrading my review to 2 stars because one of the supporting wheel legs just SNAPPED and sent me falling to the floor. D E L I G H T F U L. I've submitted a request via amazon to see if I can get my money back AND SUBMITTED images via social media. I'm WELL WITHIN the weight limits for this char and am SO INCREDIBLY disappointed. I have NEVER EVER (in my life) broken a chair in this manner!!!What a joke! I'm going to see if I can't pull a wheel base off of an old chair and do little more than PRAY they fit....Again, just disappointed. I thought these chairs were better.----------------------------------------Original review posted upon receipt and assembly:I promise an honest review.I'm a female who spends ENTIRELY too much time at her computer... I had a chair and it utterly failed me. We're talking hip, back and shoulder pain from trying to be comfortable... I finally caved and bought a "fancy gaming chair". I do not regret it.Now I've only had this 1 WEEKEND. Not even a full week... But.Out of box it's intimidating if you've never assembled a chair before. The instructions are hiding in the pack with the chair cushion (you're welcome). Everything else about assembly is incredibly straight forward. Everything lined up smoothly and evenly. They even include an allen wrench incase you're lacking one (Who can't use another one, anyways?)All in all it took me about 30 minutes to put together. The hardest part was getting it onto the base and I recommend doing it in reverse instead, tbh. The full assembled seat isn't light. It's probably significantly easier to attach the chair to the base, prevent the wheels from moving then to attach the chair back. Just a thought after my personal struggles.I've sat in it two days. My hips and shoulder are already falling back into proper alignment and I'm utterly in love with how soft the leather is. I love the fact that it can lean so far back and NOT tip! It LAYS back, too.. Though that scares me witless every time I try it because my center of gravity feels so strange. I'm sure I'll get used to it if I ever try to lay back for any reason...If you're sitting in a chair for long durations I don't think you'll find anything better than chairs that are of this caliber. Not to mention it looks awesome at my current "battle station".I promise to update again in a few months if anything goes crazy with it... However, if there aren't updates.. Assume EVERYTHING above stands the test of time.

**UPDATE** Okay, i fixed the squeak. Like a car, this chair needs to be given an oil change after its first thousand miles.A lot of people will tell you to grease the bearing assembly on the bottom of the chair. This was not the fix for me, though it never hurts to do that too. TO FIX THE CREAKING AND CLICKING, you need to grease the inside of the bottom of the chair support mechanism, ESPECIALLY the pressure-fit between the pressure cylinder and the support mechanism. Getting the cylinder back out isnt very easy, i had to first tap with a hammer and pin from the bottom to loosen it, and then twist it out with a monkey wrench. You sitting on it really snugs it in there. You will notice that the metal inside of here is worn, and there will be chips of paint mixed with a light oil inside. Clean all of this out, and spray Lots of White Lithium Grease inside. Then you can insert the pressure cylinder back in. Don't worry about the cylinder not sticking once its lubed up, thats not the case and it will still stick in there solidly.Notes: The reason i say to do this *after* using it for awhile, is that the paint in that pressure-fit area where the pressure cylinder goes needs time to wear off. It also gives the chair time to let you know where else it might need some grease.I recommend using spray-on White Lithium Grease. Any auto-parts store will have it. Oil tends to pool and drip everywhere, and just doesnt last as long for these purposes.While you're at it, you should spray some grease everywhere else where there might be friction. It will do nothing but reduce noise, and increase the use-life of your chair.Hope this helps everyone. I'm much happier with the chair now that its not waking people up at night.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------OLD REVIEW: This review is after 3 days of use, 15 hours or so actually sittingOverall - its a nice chair so far. Very comfortable, the leather is soft and matte, its not reflective and "sticky" like some cheaper chair leathers. The arm rests are mostly plastic, all of the movement functions work well and the tops are soft without being too cushy. The bottom adjustments on the chair all work great. The size is good for me, i have plenty of room to sit on it indian-style if i want to. Balance is good, i can sit all the way back and dont worry about it tipping over. Assembly was fairly easy - it took me about 30 minutes. Would have been faster if i had a second person to help but doing it alone isnt badThere are no extra washers or bolts, so don't lose any. The main reason im leaving 3 stars is because the chair is already making poping and squeaking noises, and a quiet chair is important to me. I weigh 215 so i shouldn't be stressing the chair too much. If the squeaking gets worse, i will try to clean and apply some lithium grease to the underside parts. If that fixes the problems ill report back and maybe change to 4 starsOverall, it seems like a nice chair for the price*
