Keep reading to find out if the Modway Office Chair hits all those points. Find out the good and the bad before you spend your hard earned money. Don’t spend another second in an uncomfortable chair.
Modway Articulate Mesh Office Chair Review
Are you a casual gamer? Or maybe you’re searching for a chair that can double as an office chair? This chair is a good option if you are searching for one that can do both jobs seamlessly.
While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that dedicated gamer chairs do, it may be comfortable enough to kill a few hours without leaving your body achy.
Who Is It For?
This product is a good option for anyone who needs a chair that will share duty as a gaming chair and a general office chair. Because of the height, this is not an optimal chair for console gamers but may be a good solution for casual PC gamers who have no need for extra bells and whistles.
What’s Included?
The chair arrives disassembled. Included pieces are a mesh back, padded mesh seat, gas cylinder, armrests, base, and nylon casters. It also comes with all the hardware you need for easy assembly.
It also comes with pictorial instructions. Even if the instructions are terribly detailed, the assembly is quick and intuitive.
Overview of Features
One of the best features about this chair is its breathable material. The nylon mesh that covers the back and seat of the chair is breathable and makes it comfortable to sit on for long periods of time.
Also, another key feature is the chair’s articulation. The height adjusts with the pull of a lever. It goes as low as 19 inches and as high as 24 inches tall. But, it may not be low enough for anyone under 5’3” to rest their feet comfortably on the floor.
In addition, there is a separate lever to tilt and lock the seat and back. And another one to adjust the tension for the chair back. You can also adjust the chair back height and seat depth for better lumbar support.
Unfortunately, this chair does not come with an adjustable headrest. While it may not be a deal-breaker, having a headrest would provide additional spinal support and increase your comfort while gaming.
Furthermore, the Modway office chair also comes with adjustable armrests with a maximum height of 34 inches. While you can’t adjust the armrests horizontally, you can make micro-adjustments by repositioning the screws that bolt it to the chair.
The chair also swivels 360 degrees on nylon caster wheels that are easy on most floors. But, you may have to lay down a mat for extra added protection for hardwood. If you have pile carpet, you may also have to put a mat down to get the movement you want.
Finally, the Modway Articulate Mesh Office Chair comes in a variety of colors. So if you want to go beyond the basic black you may have more color options than other chairs on the market.
How to Get the Most Out of It

Conclusion
Finding the right office chair for gaming may be a bit of trial and error, but the Modway Articulate Mesh Office Chair might just be the one for all your needs. With its breathable material and full articulation, it can help combat body fatigue during long gaming runs.
However, if you are looking for a mesh office chair that is more budget-friendly, the LCH High Back Mesh Office Chair may be a better alternative. Aside from the lower price point, it also features an adjustable headrest and flip-up armrests that may suit your gaming style a bit better.
Lastly, the right gaming chair depends on your own personal gaming style. While considerations such as ergonomics and value are certainly important, you ultimately want to go with the chair that allows you to game the longest without irritating distractions like body aches and pains.
