Not knowing too much about 'gaming accessories', I took a chance and bought this item for my 14 year old.
Apparently, according to my 14 year old, who does know a lot about 'gaming accessories', this is the best gaming chair he has come across, it is far better than those owned by his friends. a fact supported by the amount of friends now descending on my house.
I believe it may have a velcro seat cover, as my 14 year old's backside has problems getting off of it.
