Very good quality gaming chair. Very comfortable for long periods of gaming.
Quality is phenomenal. Shipping was very good. I love my chair just wish it was more colors
Very well made chair
Very well made chair. Pretty firm but not super uncomfortable. My only complaint is how hard the armrest are.
Great customer service!
I reached out for help with registering my gaming chair for warranty and they were very fast and more than happy to help.
Functional & stylish chairs
Chairs are really good and comfortable. We are happy with the purchase. I chose Blacklyte over Secrelab due to pricing but very happy with the choice.
Excellent experience with Blacklyte!
I ordered an RLCS chair from Blacklyte and I’m extremely happy with my purchase. The quality is outstanding: solid materials, perfect finishes, and amazing comfort even after long gaming sessions.
The chair is exactly as shown in the pictures and described on the website. Assembly was easy and well explained, and once set up, you can immediately feel that it’s a premium product designed for both gaming performance and comfort.
Everything arrived well packaged, and the overall experience with Blacklyte was smooth and professional from start to finish. The brand truly feels reliable and high-end.
100% recommend Blacklyte to anyone looking for a premium gaming chair, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again!

The support team was always quick to respond and willing to help out. Had a small issue with a leg on the desk I ordered but they solved it with zero hassle. Would recommend them over any other leading brand, the quality of materials was high and the entire process as easy.
Excellent all around!

10/10 Experience
10/10 Experience, premium product for a good price. My whole experience from start to finish has been overwhelming. Never thought a chair could bring such satisfaction. I sound like I'm glazing that's because I am. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you team blacklyte for the experience and amazing product.
Product with top quality materials
Product with top quality materials, very easy to assemble (even alone).
I ordered it in Italy and the shipment has been quite slow. But it has been more a shipping company fault.
I suggest BlackLyte to put more attention on the shipping process.
By the way, BlackLyte's customer care has been very quick to respond and very polite.
Great Customer Support!!!
I ordered a gaming chair and initially had some issues with one part of the chair that was constantly making a loud squeaking noise. After contacting customer support, we worked together to identify the problem, or rather the source of the issue.
Blacklight first sent me a replacement frog mechanism, but unfortunately that didn’t fully solve the problem either. After that, the support team asked me to send them a video so they could take a closer look and properly diagnose the issue. I did so, and shortly after, they sent me new wheels.
Everything happened within a very short timeframe. Outstanding customer support! I can highly recommend both the chair and the company.
Highly Recommend!
We recently purchased a gaming chair from this company, and my son absolutely loves it. My son asked for a lumbar pillow for a holiday gift. During the process of ordering, there was a small issue where the lumbar pillow was ordered twice. What really stood out was how the customer support team handled it. They worked with me promptly and professionally to find a solution for the extra pillow, turning what could have been a negative experience into a very positive one.
Their customer service was responsive, understanding, and genuinely focused on making sure we were satisfied. We’re extremely happy with both the product and the support we received, and we truly appreciate the effort they put into correcting the issue in a way that worked for everyone.
Athena Gaming Chair
Hello once again. This is my second review of blacklyte. The first review was about the LED display that i ordered and if your interested in that one, go check it out. But straight to the point.
The chair it self looks good and seems to be made from good fabrics. Also the mechanics are decent and its quiet.
From what ive used it in the last weeks my back has been hurting ever since. I contacted the customer support but they werent much help but still tried, so props to them. The pillows that come with this specific chair are also good, but too soft. If you put any weight on them they will get small and it ends up that as a heavyer person as my self they dont support your back as much. Ive tried all different positions of the pillows and all possible ways but it still doesnt seem to help. It starts hurting about 5 minutes in and 45 minutes into sitting it becomes unbearable.
The customer support has been great. They answer really quickly and are professional.
This chair doesnt fill the expectations and the price point its set at. Also when building the chair, the instructions were good, but it was a bit hard to understand, since some of the screws were already in the chair wich was confusing. Also the backrest was hard to put together as a single person building it.
Blacklyte shipping times werent too good either. And the options of shipping were a few to none.
Hope you find this review helpfull.

I can say I had a great experience with them.first a small plastic part from the chair was damaged on the delivery but they promptly replaced it. Second issues was with the gas cilindre and again the promptly send a replacement. Good customer service and great product
Never buy here
The company is disastrous and ridiculous. I bought the top products for their webshop, and a few days later I asked if they could give me a number for abuse or tracking. The answer to this was that it was just a pre-emptive oneThe company is disastrous and ridiculous. I bought the top products for their webshop, and a few days later I asked if they could give me a number for abuse or tracking. The answer to this was that it was just a pre-order.
It wasn't indicated on the website, it was only added after the complaint, and even then it was all in small letters.okay, I accepted, I thought it's okay, just come on.. They told me that it would arrive in their warehouse in the middle of Nov and send it out on Dec 1.
Of course, nothing happened, I had to, I asked but 4 of them asked what the situation was... Then came the answer that there is a delay and it will arrive only on December 25 in their warehouse and they will send it out in the order of the order. Well, of course, you will send it at Christmas and who knows when you will receive it. Thank you, but no.
I asked for a full refund, but they still give me 30 eurosI asked for a full refund, but they still give me 30 euros back 😂😂😂 then when I said no, I should still choose from the other chair in stock 😂🤣 No, no... Money back.. Now I'm waiting for the refund. Meanwhile, I ordered the chair from secretlab and was immediately sent with the tracking number and 5 working days for delivery. Leave it at that, throw a 100 on it and you'll get a top quality secretlab chair. And the company doesn't even understand how they think that I will wait 3 months for a chair. 😂🤣

amazing customer service with amazing products! they helped me out with choosing the right chair for my personal needs. my wife ordered me one for christmas and im going to order another one in 3 days! Mary was great and a huge help.
Superior service
I accidentally filled out and old address for shipping and bought my desk. I realized it on my receipt. I sent an email out expecting a response in the next few days and was preying they would see it in time. I had a response within 5 minutes and problem was solved. I am excited to get the desk setup. If the customer service was that good I can't only imagine the product is going to be amazing as well. Thanks so much!

Had an issue with the piston slowly going down, within contacting the online chat agent, to sending in video/pic of issue and a replacement part being confirmed requested took about 15 mins. Excellent service and customer service,
