I am generally a fan of Massdrop's product choices but as of late there seems to be a lot more filler... expansion of the amount of products with less emphasis on products people will really want and are top in their class. I'm seeing a lot of these overseas products appearing, much like what has happened to Amazon over the last few years with the serious decline of products and the introduction of Chinese knockoff manufacturers selling through Amazon to gain credibility they never deserved. I hope Massdrop stays true to their roots and bucks this trend. Products like this make me worry.
This seems to me to be a product for a problem that doesn't exist not to mention just a bad design in general. No one is going to put one of these at a desk, ever, since you couldn't get out of the thing given how close it would have to be to the desk to use with a keyboard/mouse. It has wheels but from what I can see they are far too small to ever work effectively on shag carpet... which most will have in their homes. For hard floors they would probably work fine.
For the living room, as others have stated, you'd have to be single on top of having poor judgement in interior design. I could see this in a dedicated game room, maybe, but the fact that it doesn't recline, for it's price, makes it a very poor value overall. Again as others have stated you can get a decent recliner for this price and it will likely be more comfortable.

ebluepcgamingKinda Irrelevant but there is a difference about being from somewhere and having a office somewhere.. Though I do myself prefer supporting my own Country, Just like I imagine most people do.
Founded in 2005 in San Diego, California by CEO Min-Liang Tan and Robert Krakoff, Razer began in a tiny shared office of gamers, with a mission to create high quality products designed solely to meet the demanding needs of gamers like themselves.
Riot Games was founded as an indie game developer in 2006 by Brandon "Ryze" Beck and Marc "Tryndamere" Merrill in Los Angeles.[6] The company announced its only game, League of Legends: Clash of Fates, in October 2008,[7] and released the game in October 2009 as simply League of Legends. Their game uses a free-to-play model, supported by microtransactions rather than ads or boxed copy sales.
Also this is directly from your own website. E-Blue Gaming is a 16x award winning Gaming Furniture and Gaming Peripherals Manufacturer that started in 1999 by a group of passionate gamer's from Japan and China.
I know nothing about your chair or company personally but you really should try to be more professional and do your research before replying to someone. Or have someone more proficient in English respond.

Koopa-TroopaI think what he means is that they have offices set up in Hong Kong, which is true, but I don't know. I just did a simple google search of Riot/Razer and Hong Kong to find that out.
On a side note, isn't everything made in China anyway?

ScootfiendThere's two different topics here. One is the feedback on the chair itself. Seems most feel the same.
The second is about the commitment companies really make to selling products here in the US. Arozzi, for example, has a substantial HQ/Operations center here in the US even though they are based out of Sweden and likely manufacturer in China... and they hire US citizens to run those operations. To me that shows respect for your customer and market. Companies like E-blue in the other hand don't (to my knowledge). In this particular case they can even be bothered to hire a true native English speaking community manager. After seeing what greed does, like Amazon and the "fulfilled by Amazon" program along with manipulation of user review system I really have a bad taste in my mouth for companies overseas that sell in the US without showing real commitment to the market other than fake reviews and manipulation. Hell most of the videos they show of "offices" are just franchise gaming centers using their products that have zero to do with actually supporting customers here. The ONE picture he shows of the US "office" is what, a staging area for products? I certainly can't tell from that picture.

SantiagoDracoWow, I am going to leave most of what you said alone.
I do want to point out that E-Blue does have a corporate office here in the US. The person that is answering you is working here in the US and is the head of operations here. E-Blue has also already opened Gaming Centers here in the US that look similar to this.

E-Blue does have a very Unique Style that is different than other brands in the market, there product is good quality as I have tested every chair here at Massdrop HQ, all of which are still being used by people in our office today.
Cheers.

Tex-ArozziThanks B.Hutch, I get the message. I am a bit jaded as to what's happening here in the US with the flood of Chinese products that manipulate review systems and social media to gain false credibility and fool buyers into purchasing. From what I can tell E-Blue is NOT one of those, and I respect that. Looking at Amazon reviews and Fakespot they have a B rating and the reviews seem fairly honest. That said I prefer to buy from companies that show a serious commitment to supporting (not just selling to) their customers here in the US. I'd be curious to know more about the role of their HQ here (not their gaming centers).
My apologies if my comments were overly harsh or sounded like personal attacks on their representative who posted.
My feelings on the chair remain the same. I think I can appreciate why Massdrop is featuring this item in a drop, it's certainly unique, as you stated, but it just doesn't look like a good design or choice for a gaming chair on Massdrop especially considering the alternatives.

Scootfiend what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Couldn't help myself.
