ONEX GX330 Gaming Chair - Black

Quality is a step up from the $200ish rubbish you get from trademe but it seems like "gaming" chair manufacturers are either tiny human beings or have never actually taken part in a decent gaming session.

Pro's:
-The high back is good and the lumbar and head cushions are decently comfortable after a bit of jiggling around.
-The castors are better than I expected and function well even on carpet.
-The chair looks great.

Con's:
-The chair, even at its lowest level, sits higher than most which means anyone below average height will struggle to sit and keep their feet on the ground.
-The armrests take very little force to rotate and ...view more Quality is a step up from the $200ish rubbish you get from trademe but it seems like "gaming" chair manufacturers are either tiny human beings or have never actually taken part in a decent gaming session.

Con's:
-The chair, even at its lowest level, sits higher than most which means anyone below average height will struggle to sit and keep their feet on the ground.
-The armrests take very little force to rotate and do so constantly. Not sure why this is even a feature tbh.
-The seat base design and materials are plain bad. Within a couple of hours the tiny amount of cushioning on the seat base wings had gone, leaving a metal bar on both sides. If you don't always sit with your knees basically touching, you'll have metal bars digging into the outside of your thighs.
-The "high density memory foam" or whatever the seat base cushion is made out is average at best. 4 hours into my first game night using this chair and it felt like I was sitting on plywood. I just don't understand how car seats from the 80's still manage to be more comfortable than a purpose built $300+ "gaming chair".

So yeah. It works. Probably be a great chair for kids or teenagers but any average adult who spends a decent amount of time in front of their computer will find this disappointing.

I'm slightly on the thiccer side and the dimensions given for the seat aren't accurate, the actual seating area is smaller. The sides of the seat dig in if you have them thicc thighs. Would help if y'all have floor models. I'm slightly on the thiccer side and the dimensions given for the seat aren't accurate, the actual seating area is smaller.

The second of these chairs I've purchased from this brand. They fixed the issue with the wobbly arms for this model, which was the only issue I had with the last one. Using this during lockdown working at home has made it possible to sit at my desk all day without getting back soreness and fatigue. Highly recommend!

I was quite surprised at the quality for a gaming chair in this price range. I'm around 1.8m, medium build and this chair fits me perfectly. It is quite a high chair, to have both my feet flat on the ground, the chair needs to be at it's lowest setting. This is not a problem for me, but for someone like my wife it is too high.

The only disappointing factor in this purchasing experience was that there were no floor (demo) models to try in the Hamilton store. At first the staff were not very helpful! The first two would only show me a computer screen with their website on it, wanting me to choose a chair by looking at their website.

But then young Corin turned up and he knew his stuff! He sold me on this chair and even carried it out and put it in my boot. Thanks mate!

All and all, you won't be disappointed with this chair, unless you are on the shorter side.

Simple to put together. Very comfortable and seems very solid. Very happy with purchase. Simple to put together. Very comfortable and seems very solid. Very happy with purchase.

Now I know why ONEX provides only 12 month's warranty,

The chair's back broke after 2 years, even though it was used by my son weighing only around 65kg.

He loved the chair's laying down position, but he didn't use it all the time, and nevertheless it still shouldn't break after only 2 years.

So, it seems that this ONEX model is either using cheap materials, or it has a bad design (wrongly calculated), so it is not recommended either way! Now I know why ONEX provides only 12 month's warranty,

If you are smaller than 5"11 then this seat is ergonomically not designed for you. Turns out that the guy who sold me this didn't know what he was doing. This seat is very large. Designed for someone with a huge body and long legs. A seat at the lowest settings I still can't keep my feet flat on the ground comfortably.
