Very high quality chair, a big step up for the old office chair I was using before. Green stitching is subtle but looks good. I would say that it has quite a firm seat which was a little surprising but I guess it's good and supportive. Lots of adjust-ability all around very happy with it.

A good quality well built chair that doesn't look garish. Plenty of adjustment options that work really well.
If I am being really nit-picky (and this is why it's a 9 and not a 10) I don't really care for the way the material is finished off under the seat (sort of metal hoopy staples) but you can't really see them when the chair is upright, just took the shine off it a little for me, and I think a little bit more padding could have been used to add to the luxury feel.
Overall, feels premium but not luxury, but I am used to expensive office chairs, it's probably about right for the price.
I also tried a few of the other cheaper chairs overclockers sell when I popped in there and they feel flimsy in comparison to this so it is of good quality.
Finally, I am 5ft 10 and to place my feet comfortably on the floor while sitting in it properly I have to have the seat on the lowest setting so if you are shorter than me you might want to try one out before buying, or get a footrest.
Awesome chair, but not quite perfect

I needed something to help me during long study sessions that didn't aggravate my lower back after 30 minutes of sitting. And after several months of use I'm glad to say this is the chair. The first couple of days were a bit rough, but after that I could sit for hours without realising (particularly great if you're gaming and lose track of the time!). The finish on this chair is fantastic, and after extensive use everyday I've yet to notice any sign of wear. I've had chairs in the past where something starts to fray or come loose after a couple of months but I'm glad to report this hasn't happened yet.
The chair itself is fantastic, but there are a few comments worth noting as others have mentioned. The first being the instructions included; they aren't great. It's not too difficult to figure out how to assemble the chair, but there was an element of trial and error involved. The chair is also very heavy! Which is actually a good thing since it's a good sturdy chair. But as someone who didn't have an extra pair of hands to help it was pretty hard to get it together. There were a few niggly bits that would have been a lot easier to put together if there was someone there to assist. Overall it took about an hour to assemble and I was sweating after it. Definitely get someone to help if you're looking to get it up quick.
I also get the impression this chair is designed with guys in mind, or the tall, at least. I'm 5'6 (female) and my feet hang a couple of inches off the ground. If I flex my feet my toes can touch the ground, and this is with the chair on the lowest height. This leads to issues with posture and having your legs dangle. Luckily for me I have a foot rest I can use, so it's not a problem for me, but it's important to consider before buying.
The two pillows included are nice - very comfy and soft. I just wish they had a removable cover that was washable, especially the neck pillow.
There are a few things that could be improved, but I don't regret spending £300 on this chair. Once you get it assembled it's a dream. It looks great and is super comfy to sit in. Would definitely recommend this chair, and would probably buy another one for work when I get the chance.
