What is it?

A fully adjustable, elite-level gaming chair.

Good points?

Made from premium materials, with a sturdy steel frame and high-density foam padding, the Boulies Elite Gaming Chair has a fantastic build quality.

The upholstery is crafted from Boulies signature Ultraflex breathable PU leather, which not only feels great but also enhances durability and breathability. This is important when seated for prolonged periods of time and you need to maintaining focus.

It offers excellent ergonomics with four-way adjustable aluminium armrests, multifunctional tilt mechanism and natural seat height positions. It also features a specially designed backrest that curves to mimic the natural curvature of the human spine.

The lumbar and neck pillows provide additional support and can be adjusted to suit individual preferences. This is a nice touch as some manufacturers neglect this type of cushioning which allows for enhanced position tweaking.

The sleek and modern aesthetic, combined with bold colour options, make it a visually appealing addition to any gaming set-up. The attention to detail is evident, from the stitching to the embossed logo, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall look.

The chair's functionality extends beyond gaming. With its superior comfort and adjustability, it can double as a comfortable office chair for those who spend long hours working at their desk.

Bad points?

The chair is a bit on the expensive side, which may be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers.

Best for ...

Those willing to invest in a premium gaming chair that offers comfort, aesthetics and longevity.

Avoid if ...

You have a small space in which to operate as it can dominate a room. Not quite to Star Wars emperor's throne proportions but close.

Score: 9/10.
