I’m six feet and too close to the 240-pound recommended weight limit, and I found it quite comfortable as well. Comfort, Adjustability, and DurabilityĪt 5’11”, my son is at the upper height range for the OMEGA, but he found it was plenty large enough.

Pack-in tools are decent and everything is well-organized. They also included a big, detailed instruction sheet that you can set on the floor and easily follow, step by step. It was all organized, and the company included the nicest pack-in tool kit and hardware assortment I’ve seen in a long time. Inside there was no wasted space, but everything was perfectly packed and protected. The Secretlab OMEGA arrived in a reassuringly heavy but (relatively) compact box. It wasn’t fun to put together… Minor in the grand scheme of things, but these assembly instructions are excellent. The instructions were printed in tiny text on a photocopied slip of paper. Fortunately, I had an extra in my hardware collection, but it was an ignominious start. It took way too long to unpack, and when everything was finally on the floor, one critical bolt was missing. It seemed like a decent balance of cost and capability, but the packaging and assembly experience both left a lot to be desired. The last gaming chair I assembled cost about half as much but was the most popular model on Amazon. At least when it comes to packaging and assembly.
From my perspective, the Secretlab OMEGA chair is the most impressive-by far. I’ve been the one to assemble the various chairs that have come through the house in recent months. The latest arrival was a pretty cool one that I thought was worth sharing with GeekDad readers: the Secretlab OMEGA Dark Knight Gaming Chair. They all had basic task chairs for their desks, which were fine for an hour or two of use, but 2020 has proven a basic chair is not enough. Their college and high school programs are all online. I have three kids at home ranging from 18 to 21, and with the pandemic situation, they’ve all been spending way more time sitting in front of screens.
