VERTAGEAR VG-PL6000_CB P-Line 6000 Gaming Chair, X-Large, Black/Carbon

So I had an SL5000 and the Seat Mechanism broke after 3 years and the warranty was for 2 years. The mechanism did not actually break but a weld broke, which made the chair unusable. The SL5000 is a great chair, but runs out of stock a lot. Wen on the Vertagear site, they said this was a new option and a step up. Well I would not necessarily say a step up.Customer service told me many things between the SL5000 & the PL6000 are interchangeable.The seat mechanism on both can be switched, and other than chair/seat design, they are same specs.The Seat Mechanism on the PL6000 is new, stronger 1 piece system, no welds, that is why it can hold up to 360 lbs. The SL5000 is rated at 260 lbs, I am 210 and the welds still broke.So the Seat Mechanism is stronger, but it comes at a price. The PL6000 sits several inches higher than the SL5000. This specs say good for people 5'9" - 6'8". I would suggest you do not buy this unless you are over 6 ft tall. The PL6000 does not fit under my desk, when the SL5000 did. I do not feel I can sit right in the PL6000, My legs barely fit under my desk, but to have my feet on the ground, my legs are at an downward angle, not at a good sitting angle, which is giving me butt cramps. Placing a shoebox under my feet fixes this, but then my legs do not go under my desk.Other bad features.The seat back of the PL6000 is same specs as the SL5000, but to create a different design they removed the holes at the top of the seat to fit the lumbar support through. So now the PL6000 has no place to anchor the support and constantly falls. The directions to place it on the chair has the straps gone and just says to add the support, but not where. Where the pics show they have them sitting on the side of the chair, they do not stay. If you touch the support or move it at all, they fall down. The Only way I found to fix this is to feed the lumbar support straps through the straps of the head rest. Not IdealThe seat itself is not better. They speak of more support, but very stiff and not comfortable. The PL6000 seat is the same size as the SL5000, to make it seam wider, the SL5000 has sides to hold you in place like a racing seat, the PL6000 got rid of the hard sides and they just taper up at an angle, but not really wider. I am just guessing this makes it more comfortable for a wider person, which I am not.With that being said customer support said I can order a new mechanism for my SL5000 so I can fix it. I am trying to go through that. I would say if you are not over 6 ft tall, not over 250 lbs and not wide, definitely stick to the SL5000

To start, the "room of choice" delivery option kept me from having to lug this beast up the narrow stairs of my apt building. Delivery driver called ahead of time to ensure I was available, which gave me the opportunity to talk him through my sometimes-confusing front door address location. I also liked being able to track the delivery in real time. Well worth the extra $ in my opinion. Packaged nicely to prevent any damage. Assembly would have been super easy if all of the bolt holes had been aligned properly. I'd call that a manufacturing near miss. One of four bolt holes on both the seat mechanism mount to seat base, and the seat back to base reclining brackets, were slightly misaligned. The first was easy to work through since I could see the holes and threads. the second, not so much. I spent nearly 1/2 hour messing around trying all I could to get things aligned. Finally, I had to power through and use force to get the screw to start and tighten. I was afraid it might be cross threaded or pull the threads out of the hole. Fortunately, the material was heavy-duty enough to withstand this treatment and I finally had it completely assembled (only used what was provided in the box). After about a month of constant use, the product is doing well. I like the adjustability of the arm rests, but not the design of the pad. The 3 outer edges of the arm rest pad are tapered nicely. The inner edge, however, doesn't have a taper, but a squared drop with a slight groove. Whether this was an intentional design to give it a certain appearance or a manufacturing misstep, it makes my forearms uncomfortable when resting and scratches when sliding them into place. I don't consider it a deal-breaker, but might become irritated enough to cut this edge into a taper by myself in the future. All of the adjustment options are great but would have liked to see more tension available in the rocking tilt. The lumbar cushion is a perfect fit but the adjustment straps have to be intertwined with the neck cushion strap in order to stay in place, which causes the neck cushion to pull downward. I would also comment that the neck cushion isn't quite thick enough for some of my resting positions. Overall, even after all of my complaints, I am glad I bought this chair. I've suffered through the cheap desk chairs available at box stores for far too long. I've researched some really nice heavy-duty gaming chairs but just couldn't bring myself to pay that much for my first attempt into the heavy-duty products. The price I paid for this chair and the satisfaction I have with this product after the first month of use give me cause enough to this product my 2 thumbs up👍😁👍stamp of approval.

Pros:Like the style and materials.The metal base is a big plus as are the larger than usual wheels.Seems very sturdy overall.4D arm rests are nice.High back is great for tall people.Assembly was fairly easy. (getting all 4 bolts aligned to attach the seat took a while)Cons:Seat, back, and arm rests are like concrete.Seat depth is too short for me. I'm 6'-2", well with in the listed size range, but the front edge of the seat cuts into the back of my legs. Going to have to buy a seat cushion and armrest covers.Adjusting the armrests is not easy, especially if you want to pivot them.Due to limited seat depth, using the lumbar cushion isn't possible.

The gas lift on this chair started to fail just over a year and a half after buying it, and still within warranty. Unfortunately, the gas lift was firmly stuck into the seating mechanism and could not be separated. Vertagear offered a replacement gas lift, but being unable to remove the original, this was of no use to me.Over a month later, there has still been no resolution by Vertagear customer services, I've even offered to pay for a replacement seating mechanism out of warranty but still no response.The chair was rated to 200kg / 440lbs, even as a big guy I'm only 130kg / 285lbs. For the price (this is NOT a cheap chair) I expected better quality and service.I will be replacing this with a new chair from a different brand, and hope for better this time.

bought for my teenage nephew, he is very happy with it

Amazing chair and easy to assemble, the head rest and back rests work great. Enjoying it so far and there are lots of adjustments that can make the chair a lot more comfortable.

Acho que fui o único Brasileiro a comprar essa cadeira, primeiro vamos lá muito confortável, eu tenho 1.90 m de altura ela atende isso, fácil montagem uma pessoa sozinha monta! melhorou muito meu desempenho nas lives conforto 1000, umas das melhores cadeira que já comprei obrigado Amazon <3

Ich habe den Stuhl PL6000 vor 2 Jahren gekauft und bin seit dem auch eigentlich auch zufrieden damit. Die Rückenlehne hat genau die richtige Größe für mich. Die Armlehnen sind mittlerweile etwas lummelig aber funktionieren noch gut.Die Räder Knacken mittlerweile etwas, da die Bolzen im (weichen) Aluminium Rahmen etwas "Luft" bekommen haben und somit hin und her schnalzen können. Ich habe das mit etwas Isolierband auf den Bolzen in den Griff bekommen.Leider kann der Sitzmechanismus durch einen kleinen Defekt zur großen Gefahr werden:Vor etwa 2 Monaten ist die Schraube, welche die Rückenlehne fixiert, beim Aufstehen herausgefallen. Normalerweise überdeckt diese Schraube eine kleine Plastikabdeckung so dass man die Schraube nicht sehen kann.Diese Abdeckung wurde anscheint durch die Schraube weggedrückt (siehe Bild). Es Sieht so aus, als ob sich die Schraube über die Zeit von alleine herausgedreht hat. Siehe defektes Gewinde.Das fehlen der Schraube führt dazu, dass die Rückenlehne ungebremst und plötzlich nach hinten klappt. Das Resultat sollte sich jeder selbst ausmalen können...Tipp an alle die so einen Stuhl besitzen: entfernt die Plastikabdeckung und schaut ob die Schraube schon etwas hervorsteht, evtl. dann wieder rein schrauben oder falls das Gewinde schon abgefressen wurde, dann durch eine geeignete M10 schraube ersetzen.Kurz darauf ist dann auch der Haupt Tragebolzen (der Silberne darunter) gebrochen, siehe Bild. Der Bolzen ist einfach in der Mitte gesplittert und der Stuhl somit unbrauchbar.Leider Reagiert der Verkäufer Vertagear NL nicht auf meine Kontaktversuche. Hätte ich das vorher gewusst, dann hätte ich mich sicher nicht für diesen Stuhl dieser Marke entschieden.Fazit: Bequemer Stuhl, bei technischen defekt aber leider keine Ersatzteile erhältlich. Meiner Meinung nach gefährliche Fehlerquelle mit der Schraube. Mein nächster Stuhl wird ganz sicher von der Konkurrenz sein.
