Think a chair is just a piece of furniture? Not to a gamer. Gamers spend a lot of time in one chair, so what they plant themselves in is very important.

True, a chair is a place to sit. But the right one helps avoid aches and pains from sitting for long periods of time. The right gaming chair may also enhance your gaming experience.

If you are wondering if the Arozzi Torretta fits the bill, keep reading. Find out if this chair is right for you before you spend your hard-earned cash.

Straight from Sweden, the Arozzi Torretta is a gaming chair designed by a company dedicated to gaming gear. Drawing inspiration from motorsports, Arozzi designs focus on ergonomics and comfort.

If you are in the market for a large gaming chair, this one may be an option for you. It’s roomier in the seat and back. And the gas lift is capable of holding up to 310lbs of solid gamer weight. The chair’s flashy design and extra cushion may be appealing for anyone who spends hours in their chair.

So if you are a large gamer, or you simply like the extra room, this PC gaming chair may be an option for you.

The box includes the chair, in pieces to be assembled, as well as bolts and an Allen wrench. You receive the nylon covered back, seat with armrests attached, base, gas-spring piston, and nylon castors. Also in the box are the two detachable cushions for head and lumbar support and an instruction booklet.

The Arozzi Toretta XL series is advertised as a wider solution to the standard PC gaming chair. It’s a good option for gamers who have a larger build or for people who simply like more room.

The padded seat and backrest are covered with the same nylon material. It’s more breathable than the leather option. But if you tend to eat in your chair, you may notice that accidental stains don’t come out.

You also receive removable cushions for the headrest and backrest and they are covered with the same matching material. The cushions are basically small pillows with an attached elastic band. Slide them up and down for maximum comfort or leave them off entirely if it isn’t your thing.

Ergonomically, the bucket style seat is relatively flat through the back and seat. It does have “wings” contoured through the back and seat and they may be uncomfortable depending on body width.

Because of the high contoured sides, you will either fit in the chair or you won’t. The chair is not as forgiving as other chairs in regard to potential body overlap. And if you have wide shoulders, you may find the back restricts your movements or forces your shoulders into an uncomfortable rounded position.

The armrests are adjustable both vertically as well as horizontally. Being able to move the armrests horizontally may be appealing to gamers who rely on armrests to stabilize their arm for first-person shooters. Full directional adjustability enables you to make micro adjustments that can make or break a gaming session.

Furthermore, the chair has tilt and lock capabilities. It can tilt close to 160 degrees so that you’re almost flat horizontally. Tilting and locking the chair may help take pressure off the spine during long gaming sessions, decreasing the possibility of aches and fatigue if that’s the way you like to game.

Finally, five dual-wheel casters and a 360-degree swivel ensure that you get maximum movement from one section of your desk to the other. However, you may want to keep in mind that this is an XL chair so it may take up more room than you would expect from a regular chair.

Are you still wondering what comes in the box? Or maybe you’re concerned about putting it together? Check out the link below to see the unboxing and assembly:

If you are looking for a gaming chair in a lower price range, you may want to consider the Topsky High Back Racing Style Chair. This PU leather chair features 90 to 175-degree recline and lock capabilities. It also comes with a retractable footrest for added comfort.

The Topsky also has removable headrest and lumbar cushions to position as you like or remove them completely. And the flat padded seat helps minimize leg pressure during long gaming sessions.

If you are concerned about the high contoured sides of the Toretta, this chair’s wings aren’t angled as steep or high. So it may be a little more forgiving of body overlap if you constantly change position as you play.

This chair is not exclusively a gaming chair, so it’s equally attractive in your home office.

Arozzi has made a name for themselves in the gaming world. And if you are checking out their Torretta XL series, you may already be aware of their reputation. This chair is a good option if you are looking for an eye-catching, bucket-style gaming chair that is a little wider than the standard PC gaming chair.

However, if the Toretta is a little out of your price range, you may want to check out the Topsky chair instead. It’s equally attractive and may meet your basic gaming needs even though it is not designed by a dedicated gaming accessory manufacturer.

Lastly, before you buy a gaming chair you may want to check out the measurements carefully or try it out at your buddy’s place first. The last thing you want is a chair that impairs your gameplay.
