Overall, satisfied. Only dismiss-able issues.
Before I begin, let me put this out there. Shipping was long. I'm not a fan of long shipping. That's more time fro it to get damaged. It also stated it'd be here 2 days before it actually got here. When it DID arrive, the box looked life it'd take a beating. Inside, there was just a couple scuffs. Nothing major, it was just nerve-wracking to hear all these shipping complaints and then to have to wait and see if you're $200 investment came in good condition. It shipped out of California but there are a bunch of labels on them so I am presuming from some of these other labels that it was shipped from China, notorious for poor handling of packages, stateside and then dispensed from there in Cali. TL;DR Don't expect it to arrive quickly.I went in on my purchase when this chair was available in blue only. I was a tad miffed that the next day it was offered in red, orange and white. Minor inconvenience, really. It fits my aesthetic at the workstation so I let it go.Assembly SEEMED like it would be daunting but it consists of about 8 bolts total and they are already in their respective holes waiting for you to unscrew them and screw them back in as you assemble. The armrests have 2 in each as well. 12 total things to screw in. Easy enough. I also didn't get that strong plastic smell others complained about. DO NOT TRY TO USE THE RECLINE MECHANISM BEFORE IT IS PUT TOGETHER. And if you're the kind of roommate who WILL do that, leave my things alone until it's done. Jerk.The tilt adjustment needed some tweaking to get where I wanted it, but it was fine. I WILL say that if you intend to recline back really far, say close to 180 degrees flat, lock the tilt feature first. I had tilt on while I reclined flat to try it out and nearly touched my head to the floor. To its credit, it still didn't spill me out. Color me impressed.It was definitely comfortable to sit in. The lumbar pillow I am still debating on. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. Easily removeable and adjustable. I put the pillow around the top rather than through the holes. Much better fir for me. I'm only about 5'9" last I measured so maybe an inch or two from there more and I find this about perfect for my height. I'm a fairly stout stocky guy with wide shoulders and hips. I get where people are talking about the seat holding you in too much, but that's true of anything. DX Racer is even tighter if you've ever tried those. The seat dimensions here are the widest you'll probably see aside from some the 350-550 range and even then not by too much. You're paying 100 or more for an inch or two. I got decent sized thighs and I still get to move them a bit. Best part is that my sub is right at my feet so I use that as a footrest. Seriously helps.Armrests go up high enough for me. The turning motion can be a tad annoying, but negligible. The arms do have a light padding to them that's very stiff. You can choose not to install the armrests if you prefer. I prefer it with them on, personally. Overall, I found it really comfortable with or without the lumbar support. The back of the chair is probably perfect height for me and the width of my shoulders are comfortable inside it. I quite enjoy myself in it. The tilt is comfortable and being able to set it just a smidge back farther that straight up is much nicer. Gaming, watching tv and doing work all have different settings for me and I like the flexibility.The material is soft, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up to sweat. If you game with an skin contact to the seat i.e. topless or bottomless, I won't judge you, but I wouldn't suggest it. Peeling out of it will not be comfortable, but that's true of any seat made with this material. Twitch won't let you stream topless anyways. (shame too, so any good tattoos to show off on me.)It's not perfect and I really am kinda pissed that I couldn't get it in another available color until AFTER I paid, but that's life. All in all I really enjoy it and am glad I saved the $50-$200 on a "name brand" gaming chair just to have the same issues with the seat being a tight fit.I was not given this chair at a discounted price or asked to publish my non-biased and/or honest opinion. I just give a proper review because consumer knowledge is the key to effective healthy capitalism.UPDATE: It's been about a week. Nothing wrong mechanically yet. Daily use. Couple hours per day. Nothing loose. I WILL say that these side flaps do cause some discomfort I find after I get out of the chair. I don't know if my recent bit of nerve pain is from an old condition years back that disappeared or if it's from this chair, but the only thing I've changed recently is my chair. These side flaps were totally unnecessary like this and while I didn't mind them too much at first expecting I'd be used to it eventually, I find them more frustrating daily. DxRacer, Omega and AK all had the same issue with these dimensions as well. Would be nice if these same complaints were listened to by a manufacturer for once.There's also a strange lack of padding on the backing that feels somewhat empty sometimes. I find it a tad unsettling that I bought a chair of this price point to receive an oddly smaller amount of padding and filling than I expected.I am more perturbed that directly after I buy it and watched it for over a month, it only NOW seems to be dropping in price. I am wondering if it's because of the reasons I am listing now... Very concerning.

An excellent budget gaming chair
The media could not be loaded. Hey I made a quick video review of this chair to test out some recording settings in my new place and thought I might as well post it, sorry it's not excellent quality but I had to rely on auto focus for most of it. I will also post the original script since a lot of the video ended up being cut since it was mainly for the purpose of testing audio and lighting quality for an upcoming video.Hey guys today we are going to be talking about this bad boy I'm sitting in, the Kinsal gaming chair. This is a High backed racing seat styled gaming chair coming in at a great price of just below $200.I've owned this chair for about 6 months now, and have spent a lot of time in it; Gaming; Twitch streaming, video editing, and doing school work. So on average I spend probably 5-8 hours a day in this chair. My initial impressions of this chair we're that it looked excellent I was absolutely stunned unboxing this thing. It looked and felt like one of the cool esports style chairs I see pro gamers and streamers using and it took my setup to the next level.it felt very heavy duty, and quality made,the leather and stitching is excellent I haven't had any frays in the stitching or wear and tear on the leather,the arms raise and lower and pivot inwards and outwards. I mean really what more can your ask from your chair arms.The only real issue I've with this chair were the wheels they did not roll well on carpet, so I quickly pulled them off and swapped them out for the wheels off my old chair. If you're thinking of picking this chair up I'd highly recommend picking up a different set of casters for around $10, or pulling the casters off your old chair to see if they fit. They are incredibly easy to remove by just prying off with any sort of prying tool. I've also found these awesome scooter wheel style casters that I plan on picking up, if you are someone like me who likes to sit up really high.https://www.amazon.com/Office-Caster-Universal-Replacement-Hardwood/dp/B01EYTIHLG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474430142&sr=8-1&keywords=computer+chair+castersI also noticed that while comfortable this chair was not quite as cushy as I hoped, but it's still adequately comfortable and absolutely solved my back pain issues from my previous chair, which is the #1 reason why I bought this chair and is why I highly recommend this chair.There are a lot of other gaming chairs on the market that don't actually take ergonomics into account. The Kinsal chair is designed to relieve stress off of your lower back my tilting forward slightly, forcing you to sit with proper posture. I also find the back pillow useful for really long sessions but I typically don't use it unless I'm doing something where I am leaned back or using my computer for 8 or more hours in a day.All in all I absolutely love this chair. It's helped my workflow by not taking as many breaks, It looks amazing, and my fans on twitch are constantly asking about it and Kinsal's customer service is off the charts good while inquiring with them I recieved an email back with the hour and they were very happy to help me out.If you are looking for a budget gaming chair, trying to escape from back pain, or just can't justify competitors prices for a chair, the Kinsal Gaming Chair is for you.
