Skip the Wrestling Match
Gaming chairs promise comfort for marathon sessions - racing-style seat, adjustable armrests, lumbar support, reclining backrest. But they arrive in heavy boxes with a gas lift that's genuinely tricky to install right.
⚠️ That gas lift. Wrong installation damages the mechanism and can void warranty. The seat portion is heavy - easy to strain your back or drop it on the base.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Allen keys (usually supplied)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Someone to help lift
- Soft surface to work on
📐 Key steps
- Assemble base and casters first
- Insert gas lift into base
- Lift seat onto gas lift carefully
- Attach back and armrests
- Adjust everything for your setup
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Dropping seat onto gas lift (damages mechanism)
- Over-tightening armrest bolts
- Not pushing casters fully into base
- Ignoring adjustment setup
💡 Pro trick: When lifting the seat onto the gas lift, have someone hold the base steady. Line up the hole first, then lower firmly but controlled. One solid push to seat it properly - don't wiggle it in.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📦 Check box weight - gaming chairs are 25-30kg boxed. If you can't lift that, consider where the driver will leave it.
Floor protection:
- Caster wheels mark hard floors
- Chair mats are worth it
- Carpet casters won't work on hard floors
Maintenance:
- Tighten all bolts after first week
- Check tightness every few months
- Clean caster wheels occasionally
- Lubricate recline if it squeaks
Frequently Asked Questions
Gaming chairs look simple - why get them assembled?
They're heavier than they look and the gas lift is tricky. Installing it wrong can damage the mechanism or void warranty. Plus many people hurt their backs wrestling with the seat portion.
Can you assemble premium chairs like Secretlab?
Yes - premium chairs need extra care. They have more adjustment mechanisms and better components. I'll make sure every feature is working.
My chair squeaks when I lean back - can you fix it?
Usually. Squeaking is typically loose bolts or a dry mechanism. Quick tightening and lubrication often sorts it.
Can you set up the chair at the right height for my desk?
Absolutely - proper ergonomics matter for long sessions. I'll adjust height so arms are level with desk and feet flat on floor.
