The chair is of course a great chair. My cat and I love it.
I would wish that when the arms are down they didn't stick out the back so far. I work in a really tight space and when the arms are down I cannot swivel. Why can't we have multiple positions for the arms. Say up is 100% give us 4 positions 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% all the way down. The mechanism is there it just needs the notches (guess that's 5). If you do this sell me an upgrade kit!

I did a bunch of research including this chair and so glad I did. I ordered the foam seat rather than the mesh after reading that, while the mesh was great for the back, it was rather tuff on the tush, especially if you wear shorts. So with the foam seat, it's perfect and JUST what I want. The whole chair fits me like a glove with excellent back support - not too much - but the Goldy Locks type, just right! Arm & head rests - wonderful. And of course, the main reason for replacing my original chair: the Voyager II arms move COMPLETELY out of the way for playing guitar at the desk... EASILY!

Reviews on the less expensive chairs always had comments like, "flimsy hardware," or "started leaning to one side," "got wobbly," I noticed this when visiting folks - secretly checking out their chairs! - or in stores, noticing how less comfortable, wobbly and cheap the $100'ish chairs felt compared to the Voyager II.

Only negative I have is that, during assembly, two of the wheels were really difficult to fully insert into the base. I couldn't find any Vaseline in the house so I had to use a smidge of my wife's body lotion! Still took some doing but finally had success.

I love this chair - gets my full on endorsement (whatever that's worth!) and recommendation!

There is a lot of plastic molded pieces on the chair. It doesn’t have a recline feature like a Secret Labs. The headrest can’t extend back or forth only up and down. I have the mesh seat and it’s comfy. The wheels roll really easily. All the controls are easy to function. I love how the arms can be rotated out of the way for playing a guitar. I think my Secret Labs chair is way more comfortable and better built but the arms don’t rotate.

Very easy to put together but I found the neck and lumber support to be too aggressive and the seat a bit too short as I am 5'11. All these issues could be fixed with the ability to adjust these things.

The armrest are innovative and probably the most logical function compared to competitors as most lift up which is a pain when you are holding a guitar. A+ design.

Returned the product as it just did not check all the boxes I was looking for but definitely close.

I'll admit I was hesitant to buy one of these chairs, having seen advertisements of it being an ideal office chair for guitarists, but finding hardly any reviews on them, and a couple mixed reviews on the desks.

After not being convinced by my other options, I finally pulled the trigger on one of these, and I'm very happy with it. Everything feels sturdy, in line with decent quality office chairs you might find around. The Foam seat is the right amount of firm, and looks to have enough that I'm not worried about it bottoming out. Though I imagine the Viking would be much better, this chair has a decent amount of adjustability - height, back incline, headrest has two points of rotation, armrest height and sliding both forward/backward and/in-out. And of course the advertised armrest rotating out of the way. Even though there's plenty of office chair plastic, everything, including all of the adjustments, feel sturdy. The chair glides great on my floor, and is pretty silent.

The one downside I can think of is that if you're a larger person, this chair might be too small for you. I am 5'7" 130lbs, and this chair feels just about the perfect size for me, and although the headrest has a large amount of scalability, I could see it feeling awkward on a larger person. Likewise, I have plenty of room to move my legs/sit cross-legged, but for someone larger, I could see them feeling more cramped. The seat base although comfy does look smaller area-wise than the Ikea Markus I had before this. That said, the Viking's measurements seemed a couple inches larger than the Voyager, so the Viking may work for you if you're a larger person. Also, as one of the few reviews I could find on this chair said before, probably get the foam base version if you're going to wear shorts or put your feet up. The Mesh is more of a hard plastic mesh. It's similar to what I've had on other office chairs and plenty comfortable on your back or in pants, but putting your full weight on it with only bare skin would probably be uncomfortable.

I'm very happy with this chair, and glad I got it! I look forward to making music in this seat!
