  • The Elite series of gaming chairs from Boulies is described as being 'inspired by automotive seats'. Can a gaming chair taking inspiration from something found in an expensive car deliver a great experience when sitting at a desk playing video games? With its generous 135kg weight support and minimalist styling, it certainly looks the part, but how did it fare when I put it through its paces? Read more here: bit.ly/3tswQkU

    Nicely done mat. It’s a decent chair but there are so many of these you really need to do something special to stand out.

    Seems like another decent chair. Good they offered to replace the broken part but let’s hope that’s not a common shipping problem due to bad packaging

    Cracking review as usual. I liked how ready Boulies were to replace the faulty component but it does bespeak poor quality control.
    I do think that the weight limit of 135 kg is too low for a chair for home use. It's not low for a single person, but is when one (or more!) of your children (or dogs) wants to sit on your lap. (Never mind your partner...) And don't forget the initial extra force when they jump on! As such I would suggest a weight limit about 50 kg higher. This would allow both the extra weight and a safety margin for when they jump on.

      135kg weight limit is a bit on the low side. If you're lucky enough to have someone sit in your lap while gaming that chair is getting broken.

    Not sure if this type of chair as enough adjustment options to be properly comfortable. If you're slim you need to be able to bring those side bolsters in a little bit.

    I have no problems them preinstalling the screws even if you have to remove them. Like that you know the correct location of the screws and what sizes / lengths need to be where. Can save a lot of headache especially if you have a same size screw that has a different length.

  • @pixelrefresh348

    Can help but feel as its a gaming chair it needs a bit of RGB lighting on it just to underline that fact.

    Still rocking the Ikea Markus. Simple, solid and very decently priced. I went to Ikea to look at the more expensive brother of it but I didn't like that one at all. Any chair that has the small hard plastic 3d/4d shitty armrests are a pass. The Ikea Markus ones are softer but also fixed. But they are at the right height so big deal.

Only reviewers can use things for a month or two; everyone is is in the lurch if the thing turns out to be crap FOR THEM. If you can afford a 4090 and a14900K; you can afford an Aeron. You can't get your spinal health back.

    Another marked up Chinese brand that you could probably buy at a third of the price on Amazon if you buy from the original manufacturer. Rule of thumb, stay away from gaming when it comes to chairs and win.

      Hey one thing about Kitguru, these arent ADS they tell you the truth - ive had some great buying advice from them in 2023, clearly just some guy popped in, didnt watch it, and is sitting on a herman miller thinking all these chairs are beneath him. thats why I hate these chair videos, so much nonsense posted and people spouting crap.

    • @Falk4711

      1. I saw the video completely.
      2. I bought the same chair from Corsair some years ago.
      3 It is not worth any money.
      Go to a good shop nearby, get an advice and test the chair before you buy it. Your back will love you later. ​@@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626
