Olixis PU Leather Padded Gaming Office Chair (Red and Black)

What is the weight capacity and how sturdy is the construction?

The chair supports up to 125kg (275 pounds) through its five-star metal base and SGS explosion-proof cylinder. The frame uses metal construction rather than plastic components, providing long-term durability. Customer reviews from users weighing over 100kg confirm the chair's stability and robustness during daily use.

How do the foldable armrests work and what are the benefits?

The armrests flip upward completely, allowing the chair to slide fully under desks to save space. When in use, they provide nearly 5cm of padding for forearm and elbow comfort. This design is particularly useful in compact offices or gaming setups where space efficiency matters. The armrests lock securely in both positions.

What makes this chair ergonomically designed for long sitting periods?

High-density rebound foam fills the central areas of the backrest and seat, targeting spine and tailbone support. The one-piece lumbar pillow supports the lower back's natural curve. Ring thickening design provides shoulder and hip support, helping maintain proper posture. This combination reduces pressure points that cause discomfort during extended use.

How does the rocking mechanism work and can it be locked?

The chair rocks between 90-120 degrees, controlled by a tension-adjusting knob underneath the seat. You can set the resistance level to your preference or lock it in an upright position. The mechanism allows gentle rocking motion that can help reduce muscle tension and improve circulation during long work or gaming sessions.

Is the PU leather durable and how should it be maintained?

The upgraded PU leather is waterproof, wear-resistant and designed to resist tearing and flaking. It's breathable to prevent sweating during extended use. Maintenance requires only wiping with a damp cloth - no special leather treatments needed. The material is skin-friendly and maintains its appearance better than standard synthetic materials.

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit under my desk?

The chair measures 64.8cm deep, 70.6cm wide and 116.8cm high at maximum height. With armrests folded up, it can slide under most standard desks. The seat height adjusts to accommodate different desk heights. The compact footprint makes it suitable for smaller offices whilst still providing full-size comfort.

How difficult is assembly and what tools are required?

Assembly takes approximately 15 minutes with all necessary hardware and tools included in the package. The process involves attaching the backrest, seat, armrests and base components. Customer reviews consistently mention straightforward assembly, though having someone steady the chair while attaching the backrest can make the process easier.

Does the chair work well on both carpet and hard floors?

The smooth-rolling casters are designed for both carpet and hard floors without causing damage. The wheels distribute weight evenly to prevent floor marking or carpet wear. For hardwood floors, some users choose to upgrade to rubber caster wheels for even better floor protection, though the standard wheels are suitable for most surfaces.
