Costway Massage Gaming Chair (Black)

How does the massage function work?

The chair has four massage points built into the waist and back area of the backrest. A wired controller lets you pick from 8 massage modes, adjust the strength and set a timer. Several reviewers note the vibration motor is audible when running, though this doesn't bother most users during gameplay or work.

What is the weight limit for this chair?

The chair supports up to 160kg. It's built on a reinforced metal frame with a class-4 gas lift rated for heavier use than a typical office chair. One reviewer weighing around 90-100kg reported no stability issues even at a lower seat height.

How difficult is assembly?

Assembly takes roughly 30 minutes to an hour and is easier with two people. Reviewers mention the included instruction leaflet is not very clear and several recommend checking a video guide online instead. The trickiest part tends to be aligning bolts through the leather backrest holes.

Can the seat height be lowered further for shorter users?

The seat height adjusts between 50cm and 57cm. Some shorter reviewers found even the lowest setting a bit high, with feet not quite flat on the floor. One reviewer fitted an aftermarket lifter mechanism from an old chair to lower it further.

Is the footrest safe to use?

The footrest extends and retracts using a lever separate from the backrest recline lever. One reviewer flagged that the footrest release mechanism can trap fingers if operated while seated, so take care when folding it away and keep hands clear of the lever mechanism.

What colours are available?

This chair comes in black, blue, grey, pink and red, so you can match it to your room or setup.

Is this chair suitable for tall people?

Reviews are mixed on this point. Some taller users (around 5'10") fit comfortably, while others found the footrest too short and legs hanging off the end when fully reclined. If you're above average height, check the footrest length against your own measurements before buying.
