Anda Seat Dark Demon Gaming Chair for Adults - Ergonomic Video Game Chairs, Reclining Office Computer Gamer Seat, Neck & Lumbar Back Support - Large Comfy Black Premium PVC leather Desk Chair

Finally took the plunge and replaced my old chair that finally gave way and left me like a stranded turtle!I normally cheap out on things like chairs but since I've started remote working, I've found it to be completely worth the cost.I love how robust the chair feels being that I'm not far off 19 stone and it doesn't groan and whine at me like my old one, the only downside of this is the chair itself is quite weighty but I prefer that as it adds to the sturdy feel.The seat itself is comfy and has a wide seat base so you don't feel like you've gotten yourself wedged in a doorway and the back can be adjusted to suit either an up right sitting position which has helped me when working or the more lazy laid back angle great for watching tv shows and films.The arm adjustments are great, they go up, down, sideways, forwards, diagonal really nice to get them in the perfect position for long hours of working/gaming.Like a couple of the other reviewers I've ditched the bottom pillow from the chair as I just couldn't make it work for me, but I think that's a personal preference and might give it another shot at some point as the supports themselves are really nicely made. I would agree with another reviewer that the movement on the headrest support could be better with slightly large slits to adjust the height but I've made it work for me.In summary the chair looks great, feels great and justifies the cost which is why I decided to write my very first review as I feel the product deserves it.

As I have stated in other reviews, I have recently moved and am working on a strict budget. One area though, that I have to spend a little more on, is office/gaming chairs as I have quite a serious spinal condition and no chair is completely comfortable for me. Ideally, I'd love to spend a £1000 or more and get one that has decent massage, heat and makes my dinner but I just cannot do that. Also, finding a chair that suits you, online, is never easy as there are just so many different brands, models and prices but I thought going for something in the £250-300 range would be good enough for me, support wise, without breaking my bank balance too much.I've never had an Anda Seat before but this Dark Demon Pro is easily the sturdiest and quietist chair I've owned. Arm Rests are height adjustable and can point straight, diagonally inwards and outwards as well as sliding backwards and forwards. Lumbar support cushion does give me support. Head cushion is a little low but I'm 6ft 2 and I have to sit at a slightly odd angle, but I can get it in the right place with a little adjusting, although a shorter person wouldn't have an issue. Both cushions are removable so if you don't like them then it's an easy fix. The recline goes much further back than I thought it would, and is very comfortable (even for me), but the chair never feels unsteady (I weigh over 19 stone). It is also larger than many gaming/office chairs with a higher back and wider seat so you don't feel restricted or shoehorned in. Castors are quiet and the chair moves extremely quietly over the floor of my first floor flat with very little effort. It also looks nice. I cannot give any info on assemby as I didn't do that, but it looked simple enough. For the price it is easily the best gaming/office chair I've owned.

So took about a week to arrive, was supposed to arrive on the Thursday, then it said Friday but eventually showed up Saturday morning.Assembly was easy and went well, until trying to remove one of the bolts for the backrest to connect it to the seat, the bolt was very difficult to get out as was cross threaded (had been forced in by someone at the factory), and then I was unable to put the bolt back in as the threads on both the bolt and hole were ruined, very annoying as the seat was unusable at this point with only one bolt on the lever side. Luckily I was able to borrow a tap and die set to redo the threads and all was ok afterwards.The chair is comfortable and I have had a few hours gaming on it with no bad back, though the "lumbar support" cushion is far too hard and I had to ditch it for a normal sofa cushion.Materials and build quality seem fairly decent apart from the cross-threaded bolt/hole. The lever 'lean-back' mechanism could be better and feels a bit cheap, same with the armrests.

Chair arrived last week (2 days early) and I have been using it for working during the day and gaming in the evenings. Been really comfy all day long and I can’t fault it. It appears to be very well made although whether or not it will survive the test of time remains to be seen. I’ll edit this again around the 12month mark with an update on that.Chair is very easy to set up and comes with the tools needed to do so.Note the chair is large, very large! But that makes it all the more comfortable. I’m 6ft and 13stone and I dare say the chair could probably accommodate double my weight! In terms of comfort the bigger the better but I would recommend measuring up if space is tight.Neck pillow is really comfy, I’ve fallen asleep a couple of times in it already. Lumber pillow is good quality too but personally I’ve never got on with them.There is loads of adjustments on this chair including the arm rests which move every way imaginable. This is handy as you can lower the chair and arms rests to tuck it under a desk to save space.**** 3.5 years later update (last photo). So it’s safe to say this chair has surpassed the test of time. It’s got comfier as time has gone on, been dismantled and moved many times and works just as well as it did out of the box. If my house ever suffers an air strike and the chair is destroyed I will most certainly be buying another one! ****
