I had an old office chair and my boyfriend had a kitchen chair. So I got us each a gaming chair. We are heavier set people, I am 310lbs. My chair is the Downix with the cat plush and ears that I couldn't resist, but honestly I wish I got another one of these. The chair is mostly easy to put together and a nice big size. My Downix feels a little smaller in comparison and the arms press a little tight by my knees. No issue with the Gymax. It's VERY comfy. The little foot rest I was originally very skeptical of for my fat legs actually work pretty well for both chairs. I can tell it strains a little with my Downix but the Gymax is super comfy and sturdy!!! Reel back the chair some and it is wonderful. I even worried about my fatness making the chair fall back but I don't feel that with either chair. Downix comes with a little back massager pillow but it is very cheap to easily find one for the Gymax. Just over all a GREAT chair for a decent price. Rolls well even on rug. I have even flopped a bit on the chairs and neither have exploded. So all in all, good signs
