I don't like them due to lack of support, but I work in a 24/7 control center where we all have our own chairs. A few people have these and the only one that's all broken down is about 10 years old. It is common for us to have 20 hr days and 80+ hr weeks.
This is what I'm sitting in. https://www.ironhorseseating.com/IH-4100.ADCGDA.3BL1

I was only trying to help the community if someone was in the market for one. The process of researching before buying is very time-consuming, and I thought maybe, if I can be of any help. The sizes of Secret Lab chairs are always confusing, so sharing the insight about the height was my main highlight.

Yeah sorry OP but they are trash. The material is what lets pretty much all gaming chairs down. I don't believe those who say they are uncomfortable or will hurt you, that is total bs and I am someone with a gaming chair and a Herman Miller Embody. But the the arms will develop cracks and break apart and the fabric will peel and flake away.
For the money they are NOT worth it. Especially when you realise you can get identical chairs for like $150 on Amazon or AliExpress. You think well its this brand, pricy but respected, they will use better longer lasting materials... They don't.

For that price, could've gotten a used Steelcase Leap V2 that would last a lot longer than the Secretlabs, especially if you got the leather type and not the fabric

I always thought BIFL was about things people had had for a long, long time that was proven to last. Not, "Hey I found something I like."

Definitely not BIFL but this is what this sub has become.

As I said earlier, this is not an advertisement guys. I was just trying contribute by sharing the insight. Probably, this subreddit wasn’t the right one.
If this is bothering everyone so much, I can delete the post.

SecretLab = OEM white labeled dropshipped trash. Barely lasts a year before the shit material peels off and starts to fail mechanically.
Stay away. Another embarrassing Singaporean "brand". Nothing is original about SecretLab at all. Nothing but huge digital marketing budgets / influencer marketing and hype. Same could be said about Prism+, Sterra, Lumos, and many others.

It's good to have a bucket racing seat as a desk chair so that you don't slide off the seat when you whip your home office around a tight turn.

I got a used Knoll Generation Chair for $299 and I love it and hope to use it forever.
