Been looking for a new chair for ages to chill and watch films as well as gaming etc. This X Rocker Alpha from Argos seemed not too bad, decent reviews kicking about so I went for it. But I wish I had looked at more of the negative reviews...
Firstly, it isn't ergonomic. The separate lumbar cushion is too much and pushes into your back, but without it there is zero lumbar support.
I've had it only one day and already the seat base cushioning is so thin that I can feel the hard base underneath giving me a numb batty after a short while. A little further forward where your legs are and if you push down you can feel the base screws underneath poking right up. Terrible.
It also doesn't sit very high, so my shoulders are now hunched whilst I try to type. The arm rests are weird, why they tilt outwards and inwards I don't know, unless you have some weird alien like body.
It's not worth £170 and a far cheaper chair I got my son from Amazon is much better.
Avoid it at all costs. I'm going to try and return it, but my daughter has repurposed the box so I'm not sure if that will prevent me from doing so. I think they will try and deflect to the manufacturer as well. If I end up not being able to return it an extra cushion will be a must. Maybe I could tuck some foam under the base cover as you can get under there.
I forgot that OC do chairs as well.
