Expensive chair with cheap plastic parts that break
I bought a Ficmax gaming chair a little over a year ago because on-line reviews said it was the best in the mid-price range (about $180). Since then I have regretted the purchase because the chair has always wobbled and it sinks on its own, which requires constant adjustment. Yesterday while gaming, there was a loud BANG and one of the 5 wheels went flying off from the base. At that point the chair tipped over and dumped me on the floor without warning. When I looked closely I found the plastic receiver for the wheel axle had broken inside one of the legs. Being dumped onto the floor unceremoniously and without warning can be dangerous, and where I work such catastrophic failure in a chair would earn the thing a place in the dumpster.
