its pretty good, though since the back is a little high, it does block my rear speakers a bit, which is why i really need those speaker stands (for my front L/R speakers too)

a general downside of this chair, since its leather (the seat portion is authentic leather, rest is PVC), you will need to spend decent effort into leather caring or it will deteriorate(sp?) really fast. and since im a lazy ass, mine already shows signs of the leather "wear n tear". so i just applied a lazy man's solution by covering it with some cloth/sheet thingy lol.

=edit=
well, prolly wont apply to normal users, but outside of going to work/sleep/washroom, i pretty much spend my entire time bolting my ass on that chair, and i do sweat a lot especially in the afternoon with a hot oc'ed pc beside, so that probably helps in killin the chair lol

dont think if they would replace it, unless maybe if they keep track of the chair serial number or something like that, and acknowledge your purchase.

and i didnt notice the steel being fragile, looks solid for now XD
but ill pay attention to it from now on i guess
