    ⚠️HOW DURABLE ARE SECRETLAB CHAIRS - Coming Soon
    Welcome back to Stu’s Reviews! Today I look back at the Secret Lab Titan 2020 after nine months of long term use. I sit in this thing almost all day every day, so let me take you through the experience now, whilst addressing some comments from my last review, giving you my honest opinion on how well this chair has lasted.

      ok i know you said "id get lambasted" but i have to say. For the last 6 years i've worked security in a high rise building.
      and for years i never knew the name of the chairs this office has in mass. And after watching it was the aforementioned "herman & miller" or how ever you spell it. lol
      and i have to say yeah it is really comfortable. you never really get ass fatigue or back fatigue. One thing i will say is the recline adjustment knob thing is ass.
      it gives you literal rug burn on your palm because you have to turn a knob forward and backward.
      after saying all that, yeah 1000$ is steeeeeeep!!!!
      id never spend that much, but i agree looks can be deceiving. its is comfortable, im not sure 1000$ of comfort but you never really feel bad uncomfortable, nor do you feel super comfy. its for people that i think.....dont want to think about there chair. i dunno
      but for the most part i just had to say something....please dont lambast me, .... i just work here.

      Hey man does this chair really fit someone who is 6'5 you are leaning forward but your head looks like its above the chair top.
      Does the nice light grey tank the ink from your clothing? This is 400$ so if it gets stained from clothing or doesn't fit its a no go for me.

    I recently bought an Omega that either was damaged during setup or possibly came damaged on the padding on the arm rest. I cannot say for sure if I was the culprit or if packaging and shipping was. I contacted support and we exchanged 3 or so emails, including a few photos of the impacted arm. They informed me that a new one would be on the way. To that avail, I can say the experience was good. But it was also a new purchase filing, which tend to get a little better care since its still within that return window. That said, I was pleased with that so you have one more on the list of people who got a good warranty experience.

      They could justify their prices when it was sold to companies via purchasing officer spending company money they didn’t care about.

However, I do find it slightly more comfortable than the Secret Lab Titan. Unfortunately, ever since the mounting of that chair, it makes a lot of bad noise whenever I sit on its lowest level... like, a lot of cracking sounds. The Titan chair from SL is very silent compared to it.
    Another plus with the DXRacer King would be the two cushions given with it. One for the neck and another one for the lower back. I find these more comfortable than the Titan's.
    Overall, they're both good chairs and I do look forward to see how the Titan will fare in a few years about it's wear and possible tear, compared to the DXRacer King.
    Loved your video and quite amusing! You got a sub! :)

      let me know how long it lasts. my DXRacer is now falling to pieces (3 years old) I bought an embody that has a 12 year warranty. I've had to by 60$ worth of parts and my DXRacer is still falling apart, it leans to the left the metal parts have started to bend from normal wear and tear. I spent 400 or 450 (King size chair) + the 60 that hits 460-510$ for 3 years... not worth in my oppinion.

    I bought an Omega early 2019, cost just under 600 AUD shipped. Before it even arrived I felt like I had made a bad decision at that price.
    But when it arrived, oh boy. Firm, solid and quiet. The packaging alone was amazing. I fell asleep in it reclined on the third day. My back has never felt better and posture trained itself without me putting any thought into it. I will admit, the side bolsters on the seat seemed a bit too firm in the beginning, but I guess my ass was used to sitting in pillows for years, and after a couple of days I didnt even notice it anymore.
    I've used it daily for about 16 or so months now and the leather has not peeled or cracked anywhere. The stitching is still the same as day one. The only damage is on a back corner from me spinning into my desk constantly. and the armrests have loosened up a fair bit due to me using them too much.
    Loved it so much I bought my son the Stealth Edition June 2019 which is a revised version of mine with better armrests. Probably going to pick up the Cyberpunk Edition next week, I mean everyone needs multiple SecretLabs chairs right?

    • @johnbuscher7119
      @johnbuscher7119 4 года назад

      Honestly, the only complaint I have with my titan is that it's a little too firm in the seat for me. That's it. It's not mega ergonomic, sitting in it for hours in an unusual desk setup like mine where my desk is abnormally high up so my feet won't touch the ground because I have to raise my chair up to get my arms inline with my keyboard, it's not as comfortable as the Aeron knockoffs at my office. But for looks, general comfort and so-far build quality, it's nice.

      @chris-colton 4 года назад +16

      DFKnightmare the reason I said it might of happened itself is down to the environment it’s in. It very rarely touches anything but may have touched up against a soft fabric bed frame when I lean back (something which I’d expect not to cause a mark like that). When I do lean back, I don’t be moving from side to side either. so simply leaning against something like that shouldn’t cause it but maybe it has! So my confusion around the matter was down to that! 👍

      @honaker326 4 года назад +8

      Actually, It almost looks like the metal frame had some chips sticking out of it and that caused a bulge in the leather. Took time for it to start showing damage. A good way to test it is to put your finger over it and press on it slightly. If it does not move then it is probably metal causing the problem. If it does move then it is damaged leather that has rubbed up against a wall or something.

    Yo, got my Titan back in September 2018. They've made upgrades since then to this chair from my understanding. The plastic arms of the chair (the one holding the armrests) are wobbly as hell, pretty much in a very very negative way. The soft rubbery parts of the armrests (where the arms lie) is torn on the right one. This was due to fairly heavy use and squishing them to check firmness over a long period of time. Pillow's soft rubber strap is basically done, but I was touching it often as it was satisfyingly soft. Chair itself has no peeling yet, and I am from Texas where my room and outside temps can get pretty high. Almost 2 years of use and only a little bit of cleaning in all this time, it's still looking pretty cool overall. I have the all black PU version.
    There is some wear and tear, but the main body of the chair is doing fantastic for the heavy usage I've put it through. I have to agree with most of the things in this review, especially the money part. Unless I landed a job with a solid salary of around $100k USD per/yr, this is about as much as I'm spending on a chair. This is a good chair, not the absolute greatest, but a solid choice in the market where you shouldn't really feel bad about buying.
    Definitely one of the more stylish options.

  • @JOELNICOLAJWZ
    @JOELNICOLAJWZ 4 года назад +15

    Thought I'd chime in here. I have had my PU leather Titan 2020 since January and I did have to deal with customer support. I send them that my backrest was feeling somewhat 'off'. They responded rather quickly and when I provided them with a picture and a video showing some squeaking, like some parts were moving individually they immediately recognized that it was faulty and send me a new backrest for free.
    Personally I love the ass rest for it's firmness. Overall it's a good chair. I love the functionality of the 5D armrests (although beware, I've read some comments online that the inner mechanisms are made of plastic so I wonder how they will hold up as time goes by). However, the arm rests, due to the functionality are somewhat wobbly, so if you are a gamer that mostly rests both arms on the armrest this wobbling can get annoying in certain positions.
    Keep in mind though like with many things the prize premium you pay does not directly correlate with the quality you get. A 400eu chair is not 4 times as good as an Ikea 100eu chair. Initially this did disappoint me somewhat as I also expected it to be more like a cloud. I have also read a lot of differing claims of things awry, ranging from the tilting mechanism, to the seat part's sagging down to the backrest individual parts shifting up, so keep that in mind.
    The +2 years warranty for sharing it on social media is despicable though
