I can concur that the title of this is correct. This is the first chair I've ever bought that I would immediately buy again. It also helps that it doesn't look ridiculous; they could actually sell MORE of them with even less branding on the chair. But build and feel are top-notch. I have the tan finish cloth large, been using it ~2 weeks for 8+ a day.
I think more ppl looking for great chairs like this. As I working from home I can understand the important of having good quality one. Thanks for the detailed review. 👍
REAL LIFE USAGE Hi. I have this seat for a few weeks now and I'm not as enthusiastic as all the previous comments (which are quite obviously based on expectations, rather than real life usage). Therefor I present these first impressions. 1) packaging: very impressive, never seen Chinese hardware packed and protected this well, and with high quality packing materials. 2) first impression after unpack: heavy components, quality feel all over. Easy assembly. 3) usability: cushioning is pleasantly sturdy, good memory foam. Reclining needs a bit getting used to, one never likes to be tilted THIS far backward ;-) But qood quality mechanics on that. The two levers under the seat are just a bit flimsy though, they easily bend. I bought the XL version because I'm 1,90m tall, I have a normal posture. Unfortunately the gas piston is 5-6cm too short, which renders this seat less optimal for regular European sized desks (IKEA). Armrests too low, therefor keyboard too high which causes your shoulders to always be shrugged and tensed. I bought the whole shebang, lumbar rest, table top. Lumbar rest is just OK, but is not to be used with table top.... Well, actually, the table top is NOT USABLE at all (when installed according to the manual)!!. Because of a design flaw, there's only a 20cm space between backrest and table top. Nobody will fit inbetween. @andaseat made an extra video showing a way to circumvent this flaw, which is not more than laying the table on just part of the arm rests instead on the plates that are designed for it. You don't use the sturdy magnetic grip. Quite possibly the table top flips off, resulting in your laptop and/or drinks falling on the floor. The seat wiggles a bit on the gas piston, which looks and feels flimsy. The wheels are not braking and have a loud cluttering sound when moving the chair. All in all this gaming seat is quite a deception after a 7 month wait! All issues above I provided to Andaseat in order to offer them a possibility to deliver good aftersales. Waiting for that. They have another gas piston, which would cost me $49,99 extra. Since it's a design flaw in my opinion, I'm not inclined to pay extra, let's wait what they do. For the tabletop I am only offered a workaround video. Not sufficient in my opinion. They better design a rail of some sorts which provides in extending the tabletop away from the backrest. The wheels I haven't mentioned at them. For the MSRP they ask, with these issues, I would advise everyone to check around some more. I update this post when they provide solutions.
This is my next chair in the XL version. I currently own a Secret Lab Titan and it has been a good chair but the arm rest or absolute garbage and I have been trying to get a replacement seat for it as it is 4 years old and they have never responded.
Did you get it through the kickstarter campaign? Whats your height? Based on your experience, which size will you recommend for 5'8" height in order to have my feet flat on the floor while sitting on the chair and also to not have too long a seat because of the size of the chair?
I'm the same height and the large is fine for this. I have my desk at 28" and the stock gas shock has enough adjustability to go higher probably 2 inches if needed.
Many companies are moving to this model. Tooling for a new line is very costly, with steel molds f/e costing 10s of thousands of dollars alone. So, ESPECIALLY for an established brand, you can failsafe your production by getting what amounts to a loan for this tooling from your fans----you charge not to make an initial profit, but to instead pay for R&D and ramp-up of the line. Your up-fronts are then paid with minimal risk, and you now have a brand new retail line for those who missed the initial offer, but at a profitable price. Since the brand is already making seats, there's high confidence that they can deliver another. Everyone wins. And if the funding doesn't close? Then it's great market reseaarch too..."people didn't like this chair idea; let's find out why." This is really the best way to bring many non-technical products to market, because there's little chance of failure (it's a chair) and high value for the consumer, while eliminating risk. Finally, the company also has a huge email DB now of people willing to buy this way that they can later use to sell more stuff :)
The chair looks nice, but I see some area the leather doesn't wrap that good unlike the Noblechair Epic chair I just bought. The wrap is so perfectly straight see no stretch, but the seatbase is killing my butt as it is so firm.

Thank you so much for the excellent chair reviews. This chair looks great and like it already.
Oh..! Got IKEA Matchspel chair last week..! But this one is absolutely beast..!
Andaseat is a good brand in terms of gaming chairs. Have seen so many great designs on the website. Thanks for this review.
Quality is on the top, Good review.

most useful comment on the thread. Thank you, I was just about to buy one, now I'm going to keep shopping because $550 is a lot of money.
Great quality chair. Not just for gaming good for office work too.
AWESOME ..!! Very informative review. Like the magnetic pillow option.
Works as advertised. This is the best chair on the market, and I've had "higher-end" chairs like HM and Steelcase.
Great review 👌Tech Geek..! Thinking to upgrade my gaming chair now.
Was looking for decent chair like this. Great review..!
How does it compare to the Titan Evo 2022?
Perfect 👌 Gaming Chair
Great video mate!
Very good video and product...
Good casual review.
Thanks!
Great review & like this chair.
Quality chair. Thanks for the detailed review.
Which size would you recommend for me to get? I am 6 ft 3 but slim build around 170 lbs
This is seems a great quality chair.
Looks comfy. Good job 👍🏼
Comfortable chair .
Hey what size Kaiser is this L or XL? Thanks
This is my next chair in the XL version. I currently own a Secret Lab Titan and it has been a good chair but the arm rest or absolute garbage and I have been trying to get a replacement seat for it as it is 4 years old and they have never responded.
How tall are you, and how much do you weigh? I'm not sure if I want the L or XL version.
For average person L will do the job. Mine is XL and it is bit bigger for me(75KG)
How easy to put it together? Wish it comes with a foot rest like what I have already. Thanks for the review.
To be honest I have managed all my self & took me about 15-20 min. Setting up is not that difficult.
It took 15 minutes. Very simple build. Great instructions too.
Is the lumbar support the exact same as the one used in the secretlab titan evo 2022? Because apparently the evo has issues with creaking due to it.
I doubt it; this chair is completely solid-no creaks at all.
Do you know when we can buy it? And how much is it going to cost?
Check the link in the video description. It is still in crowdfunding
Looks comfy…
Did you get it through the kickstarter campaign? Whats your height? Based on your experience, which size will you recommend for 5'8" height in order to have my feet flat on the floor while sitting on the chair and also to not have too long a seat because of the size of the chair?
Answer to your question , for your height I would say Size L will do the job.I’m 5.7” and XL feels little bit over size for me.
I'm the same height and the large is fine for this. I have my desk at 28" and the stock gas shock has enough adjustability to go higher probably 2 inches if needed.
What's size you have ? The XL or the L....
The one I got is XL
curious why its on indigogo and not direct from them? aren't they a established brand?

Which one you got in this video ? I mean Size L or XL?
It’s XL
@@TechGeek2 Thanks , I think XL is big for me. Again appreciate your hard work.
Do you have to purchase the table separately? Good review though.
You do, but the cost isn't very high.
I really like this chair but isn't it weird that there are no reviews on yt 😅
Can't the arm rest move side to side anymore or have you missed that feature?
The arm does move X, Y and Z as well as has yaw adjust around Z. All motion is supported except pitch/roll, which no chair has really.
How much?
It is on crowdfunding.. you can check the link in the video description.
this is a copy of secret lab they are so similar.
Secret lab Titan 2022 copycat...
But cheaper
Yeh.. it’s cheaper than other
and doesn't suck.
