It really is the most comfortable gaming chair I've ever used, but I'm sure you could probably find an office chair just as comfortable for less than that price? Lol, I don't know how prices are over there, so I could be completely wrong.
I'm about 6'3" and the headrest was a little bit more like a neck rest when the chair's in upright position. When a bit reclined it was perfect though.
good afternoon, great review ... have you ever had the Vertagear PL4500? if yes... how long did it last? is it weaker than this asus? and the comfort, asus or vertagear is more comfortable .. (if u already had it) ? ... I'm in doubt which to buy
Unfortunately I've never tried a Vertagear chair before, but that one looks pretty decent, especially with the 180kg max load. I expect it should last pretty long if they rate it for that weight.
If you have back issues you probably shouldn't be looking into gaming chairs. Your back will benefit a lot more from one of those ergonomic office chairs.
Hi. I have the core variant without the RGB. What is the difference between the two? Is it only the RGB that lacks with the Core? Or also the the quality difference? If so, then what is the difference with the quality? Thank you.
Yip, the biggest difference is the RGB lighting. The Core also comes without the two side straps on the back, and from what I can see the Core also ditches the hard plastic rear panel and instead has a leatherette finish. There shouldn't be any quality difference between the two as only those aesthetic things seem to have been removed.
I still can't be sure, unfortunately. I still can't find either of the models on sale at the usual shops. Seems to only be available in certain countries, and the prices are all over the place.
@@oyanezg If I had to guess, the OP's first language might not be English, and the him/her/it parts are easy to mess up. As for why ships and planes etc. are usually referred to as "her", there is no exact reason for it as far as I know, just a bunch of speculation about the origins.
Filmed this review three months after getting the chair, and it was still everything I said it was in the video. ASUS took it back about a week ago and it was still perfect.
7:40 - if this chair can handle that stuff then I guess its a serious piece of Aluminum 😂 😂. Great work Tank, I always enjoy your content....the best 👍
Dude, laying back like that was terrifying 😂 It was the first time I did it, and I was sure it was gonna snap, but I figured if it happened on video at least I'd have something to show for it!
They're very similar from what I can see. The Chariot comes with a few extra features, and looks a little more premium, but I'm not sure it's worth the higher price.
Unfortunately I've never tried a Noblechairs product before, so it's hard for me to give a firm recommendation. From what I've seen online, the Hero is a very good chair, and I know the Chariot is amazing too, so I don't think you can really go wrong either way. Maybe just go with whichever one catches your eye more, lol.
Unfortunately no one seems to know, not even my ASUS contacts here in South Africa. I was hoping it would go on sale worldwide sometime between when this video was posted and now but still no word.
How has this held up? I saw this at my local store on sale for $300 but I also saw the MainGear Forma R for around the same price, since I’m a bigger guy I’m torn between the two
hope someone answers, My question is how long can this chair survive for that price? can it survive at least 4 years? I don't want to buy a new chair after a year...
lol thank you for answering my question, even after the video was uploaded 3 years ago, I guess your right, thanks man I really appreciate it, really.@@TheTechTank
Depends on where you're looking, it seems. As far as I know, it's not available here in SA or in the US, but for some reason, the Core version of it is available on Amazon UK which I linked in the description. So weird, I don't know what ASUS is doing with these things 😂
The Tech Tank yeah I’ve been wanting to buy it for ages. With the core being 500 god knows how much the other one will be. Thanks for the help regardless :)
I might have heard something about the chairs maybe hitting the SA market at some point, otherwise I've only ever seen the Core version selling on the UK Amazon. These things are impossible to find!
@@TheTechTank i have hunted, contacted every asus retailer possible and no one can help, i hope it comes soon and is available, even if it is the core. Mates in aus say it is super comfortable, is it really?

I think they were planning on it, but for whatever reason decided to delay it indefinitely. I just don't know, lol. Last I heard from my direct ASUS contact they were still planning on shipping them into the country, but that was months ago...

It was sent to me directly from ASUS South Africa, and it's not available here yet either. I've seen one or two people in certain countries claiming that their stores have them in stock, but I haven't seen anyone who actually owns one. It's very strange.
I've finally narrowed my year long chair search down to either the Chariot, or Asus Rog's more expensive Herman Miller-like Destrier. Both look like amazing chairs.
Wish I could tell you, man. I hoped it would be a month or two max after this video that they'd become available worldwide, but it's almost impossible to find anywhere. My own ASUS contact doesn't even know what's happening 😭
I have this chair also, the chair itself is very rigid design, will hold for long time HOWEVER : 1) it's less firm then my dxracer chair but still firm and will cause a butt pain after sitting more then 3 hours 2) My power bank of 10000Mah is enough only for one day for the RGB 3) I still have back pain even with this pillow 4) Materials quality not so great . VERDICT: After having all kinds of gaming chairs from different famous companies my advice would be is to choose some rigid gaming chair from china (even no brand) and add a seat cushion to it ( like the Everlasting Comfort one from Amazon, this is what i am using now and it makes my gaming chair more comfortable and back pain is gone), save yourself lots of money that way and you will get much more comfortable setup
Ive had mine for 3 years now, rocks from side to side and leather looks quite worn. Quality isnt the best but i got mine at a discount at 200€ so it was worth it still.
You know as much as I do at this point. It's out in some regions, and I'm expecting it to launch more globally sometime in the next few months but no official word.
Thanks for the vid! Any chance you know how I can get my hands on this chair now?? I am from CA, USA. Wonder if anybody internationally cant get their hands on one and send me it 😬😬😬
Lol, unfortunately not. You might be able to get someone to ship it to you, but it's going to be hella expensive considering the massive size of the package.
@@TheTechTank I see it being sold for different prices in different countries. When doing the USD conversion, some come out to be $550 usd for the RGB version, whereas another country comes out to a lil over $900 usd. Just thought the shipping may have been worth it still. Anyway, thanks for getting back to me. Ill just have to wait patiently then lol
Yeah I saw the same thing while researching for the video. I have no idea what ASUS is doing with the launch of this thing. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer, since reviews are starting to come out I imagine the launch date can't be too far off.
I wouldn't recommend them, I get the 'firm chair is comfortable rhetoric', Ive had mine a week but it's ruined my back and Secretlabs are of no help when you question it.
Apparently I missed this one🤣. I shall chair-ish this video. Edit - I say aluminum wrong, sometimes, it's weird really 2:06 Edit 2.0 - Ever tripped, or got tangled in that rgb power extension cable?
Aw man, I really missed your S-tier puns 😂 I CONSTANTLY and unintentionally switch between the American and South African pronunciation of it, lol. Only once or twice, surprisingly. Hooking it into the little strap at the back keeps it away from all of the tangly bits.
I’ve been doing some research on this chair recently and I think it’s safe to assume you’re also the person who left the 5 star review on Microcenter 😂
To me, it *looks* like a solid chair in terms of aesthetics and comfortability (albeit I have not yet actually sat on this one). However, $600, the price listed on Asus' website, is excessive and ridiculous at best (in other countries, this product is listed $1,000+). You can buy other premium, flagship "gaming chairs" by numerous other companies for nearly half the price of this one. For example, the Cougar Armor Titan Royal, the chair that I've been using for a while now, is nearly half the price of this and it has the same adjustability and quality of materials as this one (appears to have). The only thing that it doesn't have is the RGB, but ask yourself: is it really worth the extra $250? Oh wait, it also doesn't have the branding, I guess. Apart from that, the chair looks good. However, for me and I assume many others, the price is a major turnoff. But that's a trend for most Asus products.
The pricing is without a doubt the chair's biggest turnoff, and I suspect it has a lot to do with the shocking lack of availability of the things. I get people asking where to buy them all the time, and I don't have an answer for them. I actually just reviewed the Armor Titan Pro Royal. Great chair. Definitely not the same material quality as the Chariot though.
Yeah, like that LiveDash OLED they have on some motherboards (and GPUs I think) 😂 But I don't even want to think about how much more expensive it would've been if they did add that on.
@@TheTechTank Unethical? But SecretLab and Noble Chairs have real leather options. I'll get one of those because although I like ROG stuff, £500 is too much for a PU leather chair.
I will definitely be subscribing this is the first video of yours I've seen because I'm in the market for a new gaming chair and I found your video extremely informative and very entertaining. Thanks bro.
LMAO... This was a great video tank! Man this is my next chair. I been using a amazon big and tall chair that was about $260. It is still going strong 3 years later. The seams stitching is starting to go but has not fully opened yet. So I was looking for something new and I think I found it thanks to your video!
Haha, thanks man! The day I have to send this baby back is going to be a sad day indeed, lol. Let me know when you're actually able to get your hands on the thing, because it's still not for sale like anywhere 😂
does it feel tight on the butt? from what i see on their website it only has 39cm seat width. i'm a 1.9m and 98kg guy for comparison and can you sit cross legged with it? nice video and shirt btw i like it haha
Haha, thanks man! I wouldn't really say it felt "tight" or anything, but my butt does end up going over the raised sides a little (the sides are also soft though so it's not really an issue). As for sitting on it with crossed legs, it really depends on how long your legs are. I haven't found a single gaming chair that I can sit on comfortably with crossed legs (39-40cm is pretty much the standard for almost all of them) - it's why I'm still using a single-seater couch 😂
thanks for the reply! ah i see, so it does get over the sides a bit. i was thinking on upgrading my potato ikea plastic chair since my back has starting to complain about it. maybe i'll take this chair in january. keep up the good reviews man
Appreciate that, man, I definitely will! Let me know once you do actually get a chair that works for you. I'd get this one for myself, but it's way too pricey for me.
@@AHOY_MATEY thanks for the reply! Thinking of giving this as a gift but a lot of people recommend opting for more ergonomic chairs than gaming chairs instead. But I feel like this chair is different for some reason 😂
@@viasatellitee It is as far my experience goes. My housemate has an expensive ergonomic chair. Comparable in Price to the chariot. And I like mine alot better. Only thing that concerns me. Is long term support. Handing over 1000 dollars for a seat and not being able to get replacement parts or cushions down the track could be difficult. After thoroughly looking at the asus website. I havent seen much of any information available for either versions of the seat. Let alone parts...
Chariot is $1399 AU which is around $971 US lol absolute rip off - If it was genuine leather then fair enough. But it's PU leather which should be cheaper to produce. However I enjoyed the humor in your review
@@TheTechTank I think I'm gonna go for it...was gonna go secretlabs or noblechairs but I have a better deal on this one and the quality looks on par. Thanks for the review!
@@TheTechTank www.pcgarage.ro/scaune-gaming/asus/rog-sl300c-chariot-rgb/ this is rgb one www.pcgarage.ro/scaune-gaming/asus/rog-chariot-core-sl300/ I think I would probably get this one since I don't wanna pay 145$ for the led lighting....I mean they look cool but this one seems the better deal @365$ vs 510 for the RGB version. How much was it selling for where you had it ?
Oh cool, so ASUS IS actually selling these things in select countries. They're impossible to find in the US and most of Europe. Yeah, the 145 isn't worth it for the RGB version. You're paying that exclusively for aesthetic extras. Funnily enough, it's not sold here in South Africa. ASUS South Africa got one shipped in to get coverage from reviewers like me, but they never actually started to sell them here.
Quick question bud. Gaming chairs are mostly trash we all know that. Dont you think an office chair is way better then these gimmick gaming chairs that suck?
Honestly, before I got to try the Chariot I would've agreed with that 100%. But now I'm not so sure. There are probably office chairs with the same build quality, comfort, and adjustibility of the Chariot at a lower price, but none of them have the same... attitude? I can't personally justify the added cost of that attitude, but for the people who can it's a legitimately great chair.
@@lukelaser5397 I was as surprised as you were, trust me, lol. I work from home so time spent in the chair per day was probably between 7 and 10 hours give or take.
Oh wow. Lol ok I'd say that qualities your expert opinion lol. I just want to know one thing. Do you feel like your sitting on the sun with this chair or does it stay nice and cool?
i bet the cheap PU leather will wear and tear in no time, a very common issue with PU fake leather, for that price I can buy a noble REAL leather chair
@@delightfulhamster2649 I appreciate where you're coming from, I just don't make videos aiming for a specific amount of time, if I did I would cap all videos at 8 minutes as that's "the new 10 minutes".

Holy crap, that's insane! I wouldn't buy it for that price 😂
Just Tank is it really comfortable? I have a gaming chair already which was so expensive for the last 5years and it’s so uncomfortable
It really is the most comfortable gaming chair I've ever used, but I'm sure you could probably find an office chair just as comfortable for less than that price? Lol, I don't know how prices are over there, so I could be completely wrong.
O my god someone is finally reviewing this chair is this good
This is the most in depth review of this char I've been able to find. Thank you!
I just got the kin-rgb version and love it! Could we get a followup video of how it's holding up 2 years later?
I'd love to, but it went back to ASUS just after the video dropped 🥲 All I can say is that I still miss it after two years, lol.
How is it for tall people? 6'5" here and am hopeing that the headrest is still useable.

@@TheTechTank
Appreciate your reply thank you very much
@@TheTechTank the chair is lit AF no doubt 🔥💪😎
@@bitcoinfreak8341 Haha, right?! So sad I had to send it back, especially since it seems to be the only one in existence right now 😂
@@TheTechTank 😢 oh Man i thought at lease you would be able to keep yours dang but vid top notch and great info 👏😎
I have this chair also, the chair itself is very rigid design, will hold for long time HOWEVER : 1) it's less firm then my dxracer chair but still firm and will cause a butt pain after sitting more then 3 hours 2) My power bank of 10000Mah is enough only for one day for the RGB 3) I still have back pain even with this pillow 4) Materials quality not so great . VERDICT: After having all kinds of gaming chairs from different famous companies my advice would be is to choose some rigid gaming chair from china (even no brand) and add a seat cushion to it ( like the Everlasting Comfort one from Amazon, this is what i am using now and it makes my gaming chair more comfortable and back pain is gone), save yourself lots of money that way and you will get much more comfortable setup
Thanks for the input, man! It's good to get someone else's opinion on the chair as it seems almost no one can get their hands on it right now.
Ive had mine for 3 years now, rocks from side to side and leather looks quite worn. Quality isnt the best but i got mine at a discount at 200€ so it was worth it still.
So the chair is not even out yet?
You know as much as I do at this point. It's out in some regions, and I'm expecting it to launch more globally sometime in the next few months but no official word.
Thanks for your review, really help me pick the right chair.
Thanks for the vid! Any chance you know how I can get my hands on this chair now?? I am from CA, USA. Wonder if anybody internationally cant get their hands on one and send me it 😬😬😬
Lol, unfortunately not. You might be able to get someone to ship it to you, but it's going to be hella expensive considering the massive size of the package.
@@TheTechTank I see it being sold for different prices in different countries. When doing the USD conversion, some come out to be $550 usd for the RGB version, whereas another country comes out to a lil over $900 usd. Just thought the shipping may have been worth it still. Anyway, thanks for getting back to me. Ill just have to wait patiently then lol
Yeah I saw the same thing while researching for the video. I have no idea what ASUS is doing with the launch of this thing. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer, since reviews are starting to come out I imagine the launch date can't be too far off.
Asus usa, $600, shipping now!
@@buffy11706 yoooooo, ur the true mvppppppp! Thank you soo much for your help!
If this chair was for sale I would have gotten it. I just ordered a secret lab Titan a week ago too. Dang it! Lol good video
Lol, I mean you can always send it back 😂
Just Tank you should try a secret lab chair tbh and compare. Secret lab is the one of the popular chairs out there for gamers and I'd love to see it
I would love to do video like that, but getting one of their chairs into South Africa would be almost impossible, and horrifically expensive 😫
I wouldn't recommend them, I get the 'firm chair is comfortable rhetoric', Ive had mine a week but it's ruined my back and Secretlabs are of no help when you question it.
Apparently I missed this one🤣. I shall chair-ish this video.
Edit - I say aluminum wrong, sometimes, it's weird really 2:06
Edit 2.0 - Ever tripped, or got tangled in that rgb power extension cable?
Aw man, I really missed your S-tier puns 😂
I CONSTANTLY and unintentionally switch between the American and South African pronunciation of it, lol.
Only once or twice, surprisingly. Hooking it into the little strap at the back keeps it away from all of the tangly bits.
Where I can buy that product Asus ROG chariot RGB gaming chair
So wait, can I plug a USB cable to the chair and the RG will work?
Awesome review, subscribed and liked.
Thanks! Yip, worked perfectly for me.
I’ve been doing some research on this chair recently and I think it’s safe to assume you’re also the person who left the 5 star review on Microcenter 😂
Either way you pronounce aluminum is right. The person who discovered it actually pronounced it both ways himself.
To me, it *looks* like a solid chair in terms of aesthetics and comfortability (albeit I have not yet actually sat on this one). However, $600, the price listed on Asus' website, is excessive and ridiculous at best (in other countries, this product is listed $1,000+). You can buy other premium, flagship "gaming chairs" by numerous other companies for nearly half the price of this one. For example, the Cougar Armor Titan Royal, the chair that I've been using for a while now, is nearly half the price of this and it has the same adjustability and quality of materials as this one (appears to have). The only thing that it doesn't have is the RGB, but ask yourself: is it really worth the extra $250? Oh wait, it also doesn't have the branding, I guess. Apart from that, the chair looks good. However, for me and I assume many others, the price is a major turnoff. But that's a trend for most Asus products.
The pricing is without a doubt the chair's biggest turnoff, and I suspect it has a lot to do with the shocking lack of availability of the things. I get people asking where to buy them all the time, and I don't have an answer for them. I actually just reviewed the Armor Titan Pro Royal. Great chair. Definitely not the same material quality as the Chariot though.
I’m surprised they didn’t put an oled screen on it
OMG, an OLED screen would've been doooope!
Just Tank yeah I mean like they put it on everything other product
Yeah, like that LiveDash OLED they have on some motherboards (and GPUs I think) 😂 But I don't even want to think about how much more expensive it would've been if they did add that on.
Long time Tank. Hope ur doing well
Yes indeed! Been a bit hectic, but I'm glad to be back posting again!
They need a real leather version though as this PU one is likely to peel eventually surely.
Too unethical in today's climate, and far too cost-prohibitive unfortunately.
@@TheTechTank Unethical? But SecretLab and Noble Chairs have real leather options. I'll get one of those because although I like ROG stuff, £500 is too much for a PU leather chair.
" much better than being responsible" , lol It looks like it would also be a good napping chair.
Lol, can confirm 😴
Cool shirt man!
Haha, thanks man!
Is not for sell :( and I have the cash to buy it when is gonna he release?
Hopefully in the next month or two!
Its 1500$.....
@@mrrod3004 Oof...
Lovely , just got the rgb one. The big thing i dislike... the battery missing :) for a 600 euros.. they could add a 30 euros battery 26k mah
Couldn't agree more. Powerbanks are cheap, especially if ASUS buys them in bulk, so they really should've included even a small one.
Hi curious to know how it is in terms of quality and comfortability? Is it something i'd feel comfortable sitting in given the wfh situation?
I will definitely be subscribing this is the first video of yours I've seen because I'm in the market for a new gaming chair and I found your video extremely informative and very entertaining. Thanks bro.
Thanks for the kind words, man, and welcome to the channel!
They cost 300 dollars if I order them from China directly. (The one with RGB lighting)
Nice! As long as the shipping cost isn't ridiculous that's an amazing price.
An Ace review for an Ace chair! Thanks!!!!
Thanks so much, man! Definitely a great chair, it just needs a slightly better price tag 😂
LMAO... This was a great video tank! Man this is my next chair. I been using a amazon big and tall chair that was about $260. It is still going strong 3 years later. The seams stitching is starting to go but has not fully opened yet. So I was looking for something new and I think I found it thanks to your video!
Haha, thanks man! The day I have to send this baby back is going to be a sad day indeed, lol. Let me know when you're actually able to get your hands on the thing, because it's still not for sale like anywhere 😂
@@TheTechTank lol will do!
@@mazor13 asus wants 1500$ for this chair lolol
Thx. Im a big person too so i think im going for this too.
If you're anywhere near my size, you'll find it really comfy. It's just hard to find it selling anywhere.
I really like this chair, but its 875$ here in Denmark where i live 😅
😂 Holy shit that's insane!
@@TheTechTank 875 is Denmark = $140 usd
... There's no way. Buy it for me and send it to South Africa then! I'll pay for it and the shipping 😂
They probably dont give power banks to take out responsability incase an apartment burns down
Probably, though I imagine it's mostly a cost-cutting thing since they'd have to get power banks from a different company.
does it feel tight on the butt? from what i see on their website it only has 39cm seat width. i'm a 1.9m and 98kg guy for comparison and can you sit cross legged with it? nice video and shirt btw i like it haha
Haha, thanks man! I wouldn't really say it felt "tight" or anything, but my butt does end up going over the raised sides a little (the sides are also soft though so it's not really an issue). As for sitting on it with crossed legs, it really depends on how long your legs are. I haven't found a single gaming chair that I can sit on comfortably with crossed legs (39-40cm is pretty much the standard for almost all of them) - it's why I'm still using a single-seater couch 😂
thanks for the reply!
ah i see, so it does get over the sides a bit. i was thinking on upgrading my potato ikea plastic chair since my back has starting to complain about it. maybe i'll take this chair in january. keep up the good reviews man
Appreciate that, man, I definitely will! Let me know once you do actually get a chair that works for you. I'd get this one for myself, but it's way too pricey for me.
Epic video mate, keep up the good work!!
Thanks, man!

I got mine Yesterday 😁😊 and it's so cool and so good! I've watched your video like hours before my purchase hahaha
That's so awesome, man! Where did you get it, if I may ask?
I just got mine finally. Its so well made and solid. Also extremely comfortable.
Lucky. I had to send the sample in the video back about two months ago 😭
Hi, after 2 months curious to know how it is? How's the quality and feel of the chair?
@@viasatellitee its still great. The back support cushion has compressed slightly. But thats hardly noticable.
@@AHOY_MATEY thanks for the reply! Thinking of giving this as a gift but a lot of people recommend opting for more ergonomic chairs than gaming chairs instead. But I feel like this chair is different for some reason 😂
@@viasatellitee It is as far my experience goes.
My housemate has an expensive ergonomic chair. Comparable in Price to the chariot. And I like mine alot better.
Only thing that concerns me. Is long term support.
Handing over 1000 dollars for a seat and not being able to get replacement parts or cushions down the track could be difficult.
After thoroughly looking at the asus website. I havent seen much of any information available for either versions of the seat. Let alone parts...
Chariot is $1399 AU which is around $971 US lol absolute rip off - If it was genuine leather then fair enough. But it's PU leather which should be cheaper to produce. However I enjoyed the humor in your review
Holy crap... yeah no that price is completely insane.
@@TheTechTank After much research the led version is $399 US and Core version is $299
@@neoison4915 No that's way off.
CHAIRS TO YOU TOO!!!!!
😂
So having 75kg this should last me 5+years
More like 25+ years, tbh 😂 The upholstery will probably go before any part of the chair actually breaks.
@@TheTechTank I think I'm gonna go for it...was gonna go secretlabs or noblechairs but I have a better deal on this one and the quality looks on par. Thanks for the review!
@@jim8643 Would you mind sending the link to it? I haven't seen this chair in stock anywhere since this review went live, lol.
@@TheTechTank www.pcgarage.ro/scaune-gaming/asus/rog-sl300c-chariot-rgb/ this is rgb one
www.pcgarage.ro/scaune-gaming/asus/rog-chariot-core-sl300/
I think I would probably get this one since I don't wanna pay 145$ for the led lighting....I mean they look cool but this one seems the better deal @365$ vs 510 for the RGB version. How much was it selling for where you had it ?
Oh cool, so ASUS IS actually selling these things in select countries. They're impossible to find in the US and most of Europe. Yeah, the 145 isn't worth it for the RGB version. You're paying that exclusively for aesthetic extras.
Funnily enough, it's not sold here in South Africa. ASUS South Africa got one shipped in to get coverage from reviewers like me, but they never actually started to sell them here.
Huzaro force 6.6 rgb is better for price
Would love to have a go on one of those, though the RGB implementation is a little too obnoxious for my personal taste.
@@TheTechTank yea but there also is 6.0 and 4.2 rgb cheaper. I have the 6.6 and I know it has an aggressive style
My girlfriend said you move your hands too much 😅🤷♂️
She's definitely not the only one, lol. Been trying to work on it 😂
@@TheTechTank Thanks for the video im hyped to buy one
Should have made it full leather or fabric. Fake leather is trash.
Real leather in 2020?! CANCELLED. And full fabric is probably not "premium" enough. I don't mind the compromise, personally.
Spending $600 on chair and power bank not included ?? that is Rip-off Asus.
Why the mirror it's ugly.
Looks better IRL, lol.
Quick question bud. Gaming chairs are mostly trash we all know that. Dont you think an office chair is way better then these gimmick gaming chairs that suck?
Honestly, before I got to try the Chariot I would've agreed with that 100%. But now I'm not so sure. There are probably office chairs with the same build quality, comfort, and adjustibility of the Chariot at a lower price, but none of them have the same... attitude? I can't personally justify the added cost of that attitude, but for the people who can it's a legitimately great chair.
Luke Steele yeah i was thinking the same until i started using this chair, now i kinda wanna buy a gimmicky gaming chair for my office.
It's really a good chair huh? I'm just surprised is all. @just tank and michelle. How long do you two game for at a time?
@@lukelaser5397 I was as surprised as you were, trust me, lol. I work from home so time spent in the chair per day was probably between 7 and 10 hours give or take.
Oh wow. Lol ok I'd say that qualities your expert opinion lol. I just want to know one thing. Do you feel like your sitting on the sun with this chair or does it stay nice and cool?
"Super easy, barely an inconvenience..." lmfao I see what you did.
I'm so happy someone finally caught that 😂 especially since I had way too much trouble pronouncing the word "inconvenience" correctly!
