    Today I'm putting Secretlab gaming chairs to the ultimate durability test! Join us as we perform a series of fun and extreme tests on secretlab chairs to see just how tough these gaming chairs really are. Our in-depth analysis and durability tests will help you understand what makes these chairs stand out from the rest. Discover the true strength of Secretlab chairs with crazy durability tests and find out how these gaming chairs handle everyday wear and tear, as well as unexpected challenges and long term use, whilst also showing off my original secretlab titan thats been in use for nearly 4 years as part of my long term review of Secretlab Chairs.

    I found your channel by a recommendation from Paul Hibbert. It's nice to see a company that honors their warranty without issue. That's how customer service should work. To many companies have the attitude that you must have broken it and not honoring their warranty. They act as though you're trying to get on over on them. No one actively breaks something to see if they can get the warranty to cover it. Even if they did, those people are few and far between. That's nothing that would effect the profit. If it does there product needs to be improved, which is a problem they need to address internally.

    i think its a good thing that they wouldn't catch on fire even with accellerant. that tells me even in the event of a house fire or dropping a lit candle or god forbid, you're smoking and fall asleep or some wild scenario, the chair probably wouldn't catch fire if it wasn't catching even with accellerant. it might just be my imagination "on fire" but it makes the chair safer than most and in some scenarios, could mean the difference between your whole house burning down and being able to put out fire in time

    I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and order the cleaner for my soft cover chair. .. (Done!) While on the site I noticed they now have chair skins for the cloth Titan Evo chairs. So if that's what the cloth chair you have is, you could make it look completely new again and even change to another colour from the original. Wow! So that will be what I'll go to next if I can't remove the stain from my chair with their own cleaner (I'm not expecting miracles but one could hope!)

      yeah… ‘propaganda’… take your flat earth tin foil hat off for a second, and realise all these tests were actually conducted before your very eyes - Over a year exposed to the elements outdoors and as you can see the arm rests are in perfect condition. And 4 years of use the seams of mine are still perfect. I have no idea what the hell you did to your chair - my guess is you either bought a fake, or you weigh more than the recommended weight for the chair and have torn the seat due to obesity.

    I've had 2 secret labs chairs and both are garbage. After a few years wearing my everyday outfit, soft jeans or sweatpants, the stitching begins to fray. I contacted them and was told "just don't wear those pants" which is unacceptable. The first I got was their faux-leather Titan XL, after 6 months the leather began to flake and crack even with regular leather treatments, and required a lot of floor cleanup. The cloth series is pure utter crap, the hardware is sturdy but the materials for the seat are terrible quality. They advertise that weight up to a certain point, in the Titan XL around 300lbs, will stay plush and comfortable. I weigh much less than that, 275 lbs but I like larger chairs for my broad shoulders and height of 6'2" make smaller chairs a problem. After a year of daily use I bought a seat cushion because the seat it comes with became extremely compressed. The stitching is falling apart as well. I won't be buying another one and I've suggested to my friends not to waste the money. There are much better chairs out there for just a few $100 more.
