So far it's great!
Any negative reviews on here obviously have not been sitting on their couch, floor, or in a kitchen chair for months on end while working from home. The chair was VERY easy to put together. One simple page of instructions and no additional tools needed. It has good tilt. The butt is NOT super padded, but it IS comfortable. I am over the weight limit so it may not hold up as long as I'd like, but I fit in it well and comfortably. The lumbar support is VERY nice and greatly needed. I will update my review if anything changes, but as of this moment I am happy with this chair. I paid just under $100.

Hard to install and not very comfy
It's just hard to install. One screw doesn't fit in both handles. I just have no time to return... It's not worth it. It was also used and sold as new. I can see marks

    OFM Racing Style Gamer Chair Out Of Alignment
    Purchased OFM gamer chair to replace won office desk chair. Fold up arms are an excellent feature on this chair. Seat and back cushions appear to have quality finish stitching. Did not notice over stitch or mis-matched seams. Padding is adequate and makes chair comfortable. Height adjustment bar and tilt knob are in easy to reach locations. I was disappointed with the alignment of internal tee nuts and had moderate difficulty aligning assembly bolts for both the seat/back, armatures and seat center brace. It is very easy to cross thread or strip the bolts during assembly if I was unable to forcibly re-position parts to correct positions. Thus only 4/5 stars on rating.

    Great buy, I'm very happy with my purchase
    Bad reviews almost turned me off from buying(mainly misalignment/vinyl doesn't last) but I decided I was only looking for a temporary chair that shouldn't need to last more than 3 years and if the chair really doesn't align well, I could just return it. You can only imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when it came perfect and exactly like the pictures. I think reviews of misalignment were because inserting the back support is slightly challenging. You need two people to actually do it easily: one to hold on to the back support and one to screw. The screw holes are a little hard to find but if you have a flashlight you could just try to find the holes through the ones on the armrest, align the back before attempting to tighten. Aside from being a little challenging, the mechanics of the chair doesn't have a problem at all, no "screw holes don't match" or "chair was built wonky". Another highlighted review I kept seeing was also that the fabric part of the chair are designed at the most awkward spot(at your thighs) so it can get uncomfortable. I sat on it and did work for 2 hours and it was true, which was why I bought a little seat cover from amazon, and it fits perfectly, problem solved! Overall this was an AMAZING buy for $107. No regrets! Note: I'm a 5'3, 125lb woman. There's ton of space for me to fold my legs on the seat which I love but I'm also short enough that the neck rest becomes a headrest instead lol, which isn't a problem but I tried sitting unnaturally upright and it definitely was more comfortable as a neck rest.

    Great Chair for a Great Price!
    Very easy to assemble. The last part of putting the screws in, I would say don't tighten them before putting them all in. Other than that very comfy. The chair is for my daughter but I took it for a few spins, literally haha. Definitely recommend.

    *not clickbait* but buy this chair
    I got the chair delivered in a huge box. Maybe about 100lbs, taped and everything. All the parts came wrapped neatly and nothing was broken or missing. It comes with the tools, a neat screwdriver so you don't have to buy one. We even had a few extra pieces. It was super easy to assemble and easy to read. Straight to the point. The chair itself feels amazing! You can recline, lower it, pick it up, just great. I would buy it again, I'm really happy with how it turned out!

    Chair is GREAT but does NOT adjust properly.
    Chair looks GREAT and is very comfortable. The ONLY reason for no 5 star rating is that the little dial under the seat that is supposed to adjust the angle of the seat or chair does NOT work...it just spins in either direction and is ALSO very hard to reach. REALLY wish this piece of equipment worked...other than that, chair is great. Bought it for a desk chair, not for gaming, needed the back support.

    love it
    This chair is comfy and cute, building it was a hassle but that's because i'm dumb and put the arms on backwards. The only con was when I went to take the arms off, there's a piece that covers the screws which is cool but its hard as heck to put in and impossible to take out without breaking it.

    I love my new gaming Chair!
    I Absoulely love my new gaming chair I had ordered. At the time I brought it for 101$ (including the tax). When It came I quickly got set to putting it together. You may need someone to hold the top part to the bottom part of the chair while screwing them together but thats about it. The chair feels nice and sturdy to last for a long time, and love the fact it can tilt back and have the arms fold up. My mother is thinking of ordering one for my older brother after seeing mine.

    Nice!
    Bought as a computer chair for my son while doing digital learning. He likes it. It is very comfortable and it looks very stylish. It was a nightmare to assemble for me but it was worth it in the end.

    Excellent chair
    This chair is amazing and comfortable. I was surprised it was so heavy duty and sturdy for the price. It rolls nicely on my carpet and I can work for hours without feeling tired. This chair has saved my back. I started working from home and tried other chairs. Buy tbis one you will not be sorry.

    Comfy and custom
    Well, they were out of black, and they didnt have a color I was crazy about, but seeing all of the reviews on low back support and comfort, I wanted this chair. So, I ordered it in white, along with dye, paint, scotchgard, and mod podge. Now I have a very comfy galaxy chair! I also ordered a Gymax Gaming Desk, and they look great together.

    Awesome Gaming Chair
    I received the ESS-3085 Gaming Chair made by Essentials by OFM as a Spark reviewer product for Walmart. I’ve had it for 2 weeks now and I have to say, “I love using it”. I am a serious gamer. I enjoy sitting in my living room playing video games. Normally I would pull up a regular chair to sit closer to the screen to be able to see everything in my game better. It was a chore carrying a chair every time I wanted to play. This gaming chair is on rollers. It is so quick and easy to just roll it as close as I want it to the TV screen. I can get even closer if I’m having trouble figuring something out. The seat height is adjustable. The back can be tilted. There is also a tilt tension that makes the chair extremely comfortable to sit in. Overall I must give a very high rating to this chair. It says it can also be used as an office desk chair. I agree that this would be great for that purpose as well. Because it is so supportive of the hip and back areas, it works really well for anyone needing to sit for long hours. The chair I selected is black and red. Doesn’t go very well with my living room furniture but looks very “rad” to game from. I like it a lot.

    Perfect Gaming or Office Chair
    The OFM Essential Racing Style Gaming Chair arrived by FedEx in a fairly large but lightweight cardboard box. It was arranged in the box very well with plenty of plastic packing material. The gaming chair does not come fully assembled, but all hardware and tooling are included. It's best to use an impact driver to get the screws in the tight areas. Make sure to have plenty of work space to fully assemble the chair. The instruction manual is easy to follow and read. I would recommend to do step 4 and 5 before starting step 3, which is assembling the chair first than place it on the swivel wheel base. This makes it a lot easier to handle. Having a second person would be helpful to help guide it to fit proper on the wheel base. The black and red color on the chair looks great in the streaming room, and would compliment any office or gaming room. The fabric on the seat and back rest fit very well, it's a jersey mesh design that's not scratchy and soft bright black faux leather. The back rest also allows the user a recline control to adjust to any position. The padding on the seat seems to be a little thin but comfortable and firm especially if sitting for long gaming/editing sessions. The lumber support feels better than a regular office chair not to hard at all. The folding arms seem strong enough no weak movements, for having a single point attachment. The chair itself is made of high grade sturdy durable impact resistant black plastic construction. The wheels on the swivel base move with ease, real smooth on the carpet. even without a carpet chair mat. The sitting height is adjustable on the chair to perfectly line up to fit under any desk or table. It also comes in three other colors green, blue and black. Weight limit is 250 lbs.
