Bought a gaming chair that had 5 star reviews.

It smelled toxic. Smell didn't dissipate after a month. Returned it and found out buried under all the 5 star reviews of people citing the same issue.



Foams can be really smelly. You never really know what they sourced to save a penny


the actual seat and back rest was wrapped inside a plastic bag. The fake leather just smelled toxic. Literally the whole room would stink and it would give me headaches until I packed it up for a full refund.

In the past 3 months I have ended up returning 80% of my purchases from Amazon because the 5 star reviews did not match with the actual product's performance or quality.
