This one is not a "deal", more like a $10 discount on hard to sell color. (purple)
They raised this color MSRP to 299. (to look like a deal?) Other color just sell regular price 173-178 depend on color.
However it did grab my attention on how thick the Depth is, looks comfortable.
So thx OP anyway if this is not a affiliate post.
Got a bit confused when I compare it on Amazon.
Found their brand and chair looks the same.
https://www.amazon.com//dp/B07MKNDYQY/
Price around $170-180 after $10 coupon.
But the description are different...
Newegg one picture shows
5.5" cushion depth and 20" seat depth
Amazon one picture shows
6.2" cushion depth and 24" seat depth
Are they different model or just marketing messed up?
Spend the money on a secretlabs.

Well there are different fabrics at Secret Labs. PU leather is one of them but there is fabric options. From what it looks like, it looks commercial grade which is always more expensive than residential grade. Many office chairs don't have tilt lock features and if they do, they cost a pretty penny. I've looked for a decent looking office chair that at least looks like it's from this decade under $200 with tilt lock features and all they have is tilt vertical lock or tilt rock. What doesn't help is that most websites define tilt lock on a chair as simply being able to remain vertically locked or rock. So you are stuck with going through hundreds of chairs trying to find more information about those features when a lot of chairs don't even have good spec depth to begin with.
Adjustable armrests are probably first mandatory feature of an ergonomic chair, yet so many of these gaming chairs don't have them. If you don't see adjustable armrests on a chair, it's a very hard pass.
The next thing you need to look for is a back that is actually molded for humans to sit on. All these racing style gaming chairs have an absolutely ridiculous straight back design that doesn't curve back like 100% of ergonomic office chairs do and offer some stupid pillow to compensate for the absolute lack of back support you will be getting.
BTW side bolsters have absolutely zero purpose in an ergonomic chair. The only reason why they exist because in a race car you might be taking turns at 100+ mph and you need something to hold you into your seat. In an ergonomic chair, you want the freedom to move and angle your body in various ways while you work.
These gaming chairs are just identical mass produced junk designed for gAmIng AeStHeTiC and not actually any ergonomics. Few companies actually do ergonomics right, but those companies also supply chairs for the majority of offices in the US. Walk into any Fortune 500 office and nobody has one of these pieces of junk, they will have a chair made by a company with 100 years of ergonomics experience like Herman Miller or Steelcase.
Unfortunately those chairs are also uber expensive. Companies can afford to pay this because bad ergonomics costs money due to lost productivity or even injuries from workers sitting in a bad chair all day. If you can't afford $750 for a new Steelcase, your best bet might be to get a used model for around $200 from local office liquidators or Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace.

- no adjustable arms
- single pivot point seat back
- no seat depth adjustments
- lame cushions in place of lumbar and neck support
- questionably useful footrest
How about redirecting some of the build costs away from marketing, embroidery, and pillows tacked on with elastic and instead make the chair more functional as a chair?my friend got one and it gets so hot, and it's stiff as a board. very little comfort. his armrests have holes from his elbows already and the fold out footrest is constantly clunking around
he also has that secret lab chair, and its night and day. the secret lab is comfy, pretty cool and it has a spring loaded pivot, which this chair doesnt. you can only set specific reclining levels, instead of leaning back which is far more comfy.
JUNK!
In 6 months you'll have little flakes of leather all over the floor, and in 12 months you'll have a patchy bald ugly chair.
