yes every millennial home is not complete without Disney plate...beanie babies...or other random crap we thought would be valuable in 1995

good to know about the positive customer service experiances.

That is the stor I saw the chair too and I really want one

I am glad you got it to work!

The issue with using a shim is that the chair reclines and the arms recline with it, uses a metal cylinder as a bearing, I could shim it, but then I would lose the ability to recline

I assume you wrapped the tie around the slot in some way?

@@Reviewsandmore Yeah, they lie flat on the slot well. They just stack up like if you were to wear multiple wristbands. Don't need to stack the square parts that lock it for it to work but I wouldn't be surprised if that made it even more secure.

Yeah got mine and had the same wobbly problem. This fixed it. Though I will need to find a perm solution. Also the padding on my seat is paper thin. I can’t sit for more than an hour or so before my butt starts to hurt. Granted I am a bigger fellow, but my office chair from staples for $75 has better seat cushioning. Not what I expected with a $150 chair.

I would try. I might order a glue gun and really seal it in there for good. You might try rubber cement, but that seems like it would eventually wear down too.

Yeah the price to quality ratio is great...they now have one with a mesh back that looks really sharp....wife wants me to get it for her....we will see.

Reviews_and_more haha! Maybe if this chair ever breaks or gets worn out I will look at that!

Does using the recline function still work? Or does the action destroy the o ring?

@@Reviewsandmore it seems to work. No issues yet!

Great idea. I just put rubber O-rings (approx. 1/2 inch outside diameter) in the arm sections, upper and lower bolt holes, works great and still reclines like it should. Plumbing washers would probably work also.

I found a black plastic cap covering a nut which I was able to tighten to get the back recline to stiffen up. I tightened it with the handle in both positions until it was very snug. Now the handle feels different and the back is holding up so we'll see how long this lasts.

OMG that is a great idea!

@@Reviewsandmore yeah just make sure the inside of the cap faces the arm rest so the edges don't dig into the pu leather and damage its integrity, one nick will lower the integrity of the whole thing over time. Not by a ton but why do it at all when it's so easily avoidable. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out how to fix, and it seems like it's mostly because it's just not fixable without getting new parts, is when I lean back, my chair wobbles a lot more (accompanied by clicking sounds). It's not due to any instability at the base where the wheels are at, which means it's likely either a result of where the hydraulic piston meets the chair having a minor machining imperfection and not lining up perfectly (thanks china), or a faulty/damaged bearing inside the piston, but after inspecting the chair very thoroughly it appears to be an entirely benign issue that won't actually cause the chair to fall apart, and is just annoying.

Stupid question, but why wouldn't getting a washer work?

Did you just cut a hole in the center of the cap? I tried this and it’s too big to fit inside of the o outer ring, thanks!

@@Shiek200 I got the same issue here. The sound is awful and I even asked for a replacement of the iron seat part. I' just haven't figured out how to take the spider legs out of the heavy iron part.

the problem is that the arm rests move with the reclining function. And the issue is that the slot is a bit to wide for the pegs, which causes the wobble.

I think the arms add some stability to the chair overall. I would not remove them.

in theory it should work, but you will have random holes in the side of your chairs back, and seat.

i have the same problem did you ever find a solution?

i had a similar issue, I found it was not an issue of how hard i leaned back , but rather that the chair lock would slowly wiggle out of position and I would abruptly "fall down" scared the crap out of my. I do not know how to fix it other than making sure it is in the lock position right after I sit down.

ive had for it nearly a year got it last year late may. yes it always does that and arm rests are wobbly as hell i also bought an after market seat i was super uncomfortable before

Some One what aftermarket seat did you buy?

Yeah mine makes a popping sound too, any idea how to fix it??

yes I cant figure out what it could even be.

Mine does too and it's awful. I asked for a replacement of the iron part. I just can't figure it out how to unbound the legs our of the iron heavy part. Any ideas. ?

I started getting the popping recently when I adjust or lean back I try and push the lever to lean back down and get it to fully lock. Read my other comment for thearmest so far its perfect and comfortable again

Still have this problen

How can this be rectified?

i have this issue too and its annoying.

Can someone suggest a gaming chair? Bought Respawn chair three months ago and it makes a loud popping sound when reclining and now it does not recline at all. Not worth the $175

lol

Same. I slouch a lot in my chair, and it popped one day and broke, and now if I put out the footrest, it hangs on the ground, and the front tilts down

Let me know if you find out my son has left a dent the size of the grand canyon in one of my arm rests and its hindering me lol

Just call the manufacturer and get it replaced.

Probly where the metal for the back of the chair it's touching the base. Tighten maybe

YOU PROBABLY ATTACHED THE BACK TO THE SEAT WRONG try to remove the screws and retighten it correctly and hope you didnt strip the bolts

mines FORCING me to recline, wont stay straight up. is that what you mean?

I have to pull up the lever so much in order to recline. Are you also having this issue?

@@3sergy3 thanks so much, idk how, but what you just said fixed my issue entirely. Thank you!

its on the to do list....i need to borrow a caliper...and get some initiative

@@Reviewsandmore Lets us know when you get it! Following

@@Reviewsandmore update? Did you find a permanent fix?

It's because that garbage of a wart they call a "foot rest" was an afterthought. It's attached to the chair by plastic, and the tubes that hold the "foot rest" is very thin cheap metal. You can't really call it a "foot rest" as it doesn't extend far enough to rest your feet on it, it can barely hold the weight of a single leg, let alone two legs. I only weigh around 165lbs so I'm far under the weight limit.

same here have you found a solution?

@@gardfeil677 nah I just live with it now

Stephen Carter i figured it out 30 seconds after writing the comment. on the opposite side of the lever that controls when the chair goes back, there is a cap looking thing that can be screwed in. check if it’s loose because that was the problem for me. if you need help add me on discord gardfeil#3824

@@gardfeil677 mine is permanently reclined. It was my brothers and i took it in hope that i can fix it and get a free chair out of it lol

@@gardfeil677 I was five seconds away from throwing my chair out, thx so much for this fix!

gonna ask a dumb question...but I have to ask is the recline lever on the chair in lock position?....I hate myself a bit for asking that...I feel like tech support when they ask if the computer is plugged in.

It is not in locked position..already returned it and bought a GT Race with Bluetooth speakers and foot rest like the Respawn.

recently started having this issue as well with my chair. Always keeps slipping back to recline. I havent found a fix yet, but wanted to let you know youre not alone.

@@mrjosephreiff okay thank you mine still hasnt fixed only really tried tighting bolts and such but im pretty use to it now

@@itzmonkey7905 Yea mine is permanently reclined and i have no idea how to fix it. It wont even go back to notmal

what happened to them?

@@Reviewsandmore they probably broke off, like what mine is doing only after 2 months of ownership.

I thought about it. But the issue is that the arms are attached to the recline function...which I do adjust on occasion.

Did u fix it? If u did please let me know

My head is not a perfect circle

its not a bad chair for the price. I just pointed out my flaws that i noted...I chose to keep the chair it is still very comfy. to get a chair that feels tight and perfect would be in the 300+ range. I am not up for that at this time. It is a good budget chair...for reference I am between 220-230 and I am very comfortable. Just had to two small gripes about the arm wobble and the weird circle imprint on the head area...

That ended up being my biggest gripe out the chair. Tightening the arms requires the use of a washer that is about the size of the whol whhere the arms connect ot the back and to the base.

F8_HYPER_NOVA same its super disappointing.

The trouble is finding one that is thin enough but has a large inner diameter...and that can survive the friction
