Just got one of these for 700 pesos = 35 USD... Its a really nice chair and for the price i bought it for I dont think I could have gotten a better chair. I have the blue one
Hey, great vid. wondering what rollerblade style casters do you have on the chairs in the shot at 9:10 ? really like the clean clear look of them. thanks
Hi - No problem. Here is a link to the casters that I'm using amzn.to/4cOcDqg I really like the roller blade casters especially for hard floor, but they're pretty good for all purpose, and they look nice. I have a lot of chairs that I need to roll around the floor to make these videos, so the roller blade casters are great since they glide really easily!
Thank you for such a detailed review. My search is for a chair that does not squeak, even after a few years of use. I heard AKRacing was good, but then saw videos that gaming chairs are not ergonomic. Any comments on squeaking with Steelcase after a few years? And, I like a headrest, do they have one with a headrest?
Hi there, thanks for the comment! So, currently none of my Steelcase chairs squeak, though over years of use it's pretty common that you'll find some slight creeking sounds. Since ergonomic chairs have a lot of adjustability by design, there's inherently going to be more moving parts. Over time, the natural friction of the parts rubbing against each other/compressing on each other may eventually cause some creeking sounds. As for AKRacing, that's a budget bucket style racing chair. I have experience with it and I was pretty underwhelmed. Pretty much all of those racing chairs aren't the most ergonomic due to their practically flat backrests. They're okay for lounging, but really can't even compare to something like the Amia. As for the headrest, the Amia doesn't have a headrest. The Leap, which is one step up, is similar to the Amia and has a headrest, but it's pretty bad in my opinion. The Steelcase Gesture has one of the best headrests I've used on any chair, but is pretty darn expensive. Hope this helps!
Awesome, let me know what you think. My luck on eBay has been hit or miss. Sometimes the condition is great, others you could really tell it was worn down by how rickety and loose the armrests/seat pan were.
@@sleeksetups Now you're scaring me haha for the price sounds like I'm not gonna get a very good one. Do you know if Crandall refurbishes these Amia's for $200 like they do with the leaps? Might just keep it if it's not terrible and have them refurbish it
Haha Thanks! Yea, I'm a huge Street Fighter nerd. The leverless controller I'm using is the Haute42 M16 plus. I really like it! Its slim and has a an all metal design kinda like the Razer Kitsune, but with extra buttons and less than half the price. amzn.to/3MfDW1Q

Super helpful

Street fighter 6 hell yeah. Didnt expected my favorite game on an Amia review. I like that arcade stick too. What brand is it?
