    If you've done any research into Secretlab gaming chairs, you've probably seen the option between PU leather and SoftWeave fabric. The SoftWeave fabric is $30 more but is it worth the upgrade for your chair? In this video, I compare the two gaming chair materials to figure out which one is best for you.

      @@harry7166 I've had mine for a couple weeks. Fantastic chair. Very happy with the purchase. I was a little worried after watching some of the videos trashing this style of gaming chair and them saying you should get a good office chair. Well, those office chairs are double the price. I'm not spending a grand on a chair. This chair is very comfortable and sturdy. It's a quality item and it looks very cool. I've sat in the cheaper gaming chairs at office max and they are terrible. No comparison. Spend the extra money and get the 2022 evo. Don't cheap out and get a 250.00 chair. Get the fabric material. The fake leather is not worth it and the real leather is ridiculously priced at 1000 bucks. I have the black one and it looks great. I'm not into any of the other color combos they have.

    A statement from someone whose owned a Secretlab chair for about 6-7 years now. While the leather is nice, it will eventually start peeling. Mine is almost entirely gone (over the course of the last year) and I have to clean my floors constantly because the leather bits stick like glue to the hardwood. This is making me need a new chair. I'm going with the cloth this time around. Just something to think about for those that might have their chairs for a while.

  • @mjsheen8445
    @mjsheen8445 Před 2 lety +12

    PU is a deal killer for me as I have learned through purchase of many chairs and sofas that any PU leatherette would crack over time. I saw their abrasion test on the webpage but that is only half the test. PU cracks develop as the air cycles through dry and humid. Cheap ones would crack within the first 3 years and better ones may last another 2~3. Very high quality leatherette used in premium car seats last longer but those premium car seats start from a thousand dollars to few thousands and also you drive only so much. It is not if, but when it will crack and start peeling off. Also, faux leathers are not breathable and sticks to your bare skin if you wear shorts. Good thing they have fabric option but I wish they used double flock fabric which is water and stain resistant.

    Then - PU leather goes off right 2 months after warranty ends. Now, after 5 years it almost rips appart. It was model up to 150kg and I have 85kg, so "overweight" is not an issue.
    I dont care about colors, as long as it is black based :), i am looking for quality. I am not going to risk another PU leather. Well, the Secret labs one might be better than DX racer one.
    It is a shame Secretlab is sold out in case of SoftWeave. Not a piece on stock, 2 months preorder time is bit too much. Lets hope my "really not best buy" dx racer can hold together for 2 months...

    Buyers beware. I was about to go for the PU leather and there is a quite a lot negative reviews on how the PU leather is peeling. So even if one would be taking extra care of its leather, it basically means that over time (2, 3 , 4 years), it will peel. I have had my fabric chair for 10 years now and it still in very good condition except for the harm rest. Will go with the fabric because of that. Too bad, the PU leather does look way better then the fabric. At least they have the black with blue accent.

    The PU chair looks great, however all PU chairs I have ever owned tend to just crumble after a few years which is very disappointing. I even watched some videos with the Secrelab PU chairs doing the same thing. Softweave is the way to go honestly, it will likely last longer then the PU ones. It's unfortunate because like I said the PU ones are great looking, but forking up $400+ dollars, I would expect a longer life, and the extra $30 will be a wise decision.

      @@brandonbreuer6589 It could be "PU 2.0" or "PU 10.0", the difference in longevity will be minimal. It's just a selling tactic to allay your fears. PU de-laminates crumbles, and breaks up over time, especially in humid environments, it's just a fact. I've had 5 such chairs in my lifetime, and they all end up the same way. The SecretLab model will do likewise. It may last longer than a budget PU leather chair, but it will degrade eventually and probably long before any of the other parts on it begin to fail (like the gas-lift cylinder, for example). You might stain a fabric chair and/or it might fade and start pilling up (which can be fixed with a fabric razor gadget anyway), but the material will survive longer than PU, however cleverly it's marketed.
      So to answer the question this video poses... Yes, the extra $30 is worth it. If you want leather, pay the full price and get the Napa Leather one, it will be more cost effective in the long term vs. having to buy a new chair once the old one starts breaking up after only a few years of use.
      Remember: You get what you pay for. The PU "Leather" a.k.a "Faux Leather" or to be completely accurate, "False Leather" is the cheapest price for a reason; It's the lowest cost/quality option of the three.
