Dimensions


We start with the dimensions of the chair.

Backrest


The backrest is 55 cm wide at the shoulder level and 78 cm long (21.65 x 30.70 in.). The backrest's rear features a clean design that shows off its broad dimensions. The Real Madrid C.F. logo has also been put on this side.


Since this chair can hold a user of up to 120 kg (264.55 lb), its frame is made out of metal. As shown in the picture above, the frame has raised edges on both the backrest and the seat. The backrest's contoured edges lean outward, which means users won't feel as though they are confined to the chair regardless of their size.


The metal frame is covered in cold-cure molded foam made using low-temperature heat, and it is neither soft nor hard. It feels comfortable, and its cushioning is plenty, so it does fully cover the metal frame.


Anyone aware of the history of Real Madrid C.F. will immediately know that the year embroidered on the headrest is the year the club was founded, and that its respective colors run along the backrest and seat. The front of the backrest is divided into three or, rather, four departments. Four mainly because the middle portion is separate from the its round edges. This was done for the lumbar-support straps to go through—the main section of the middle is again partitioned into three more parts. Most of the middle is covered in a yellow embroidered diagonal stitching pattern. The other part consists of the club's three main colors. The PU upholstery of the last part has no pattern and imitates real leather—it also appears to be thick enough for heavy use over prolonged periods of time.


The backrest reclines up to 150° and can be locked into certain positions with a small but grippy lever on the right side of the seat. The plastic bits have two openings for the bolts to go through and secure the backrest to the seat. Thankfully, Tesoro supplied matching plastic covers to hide these openings with the bolts.


This chair is also equipped with a tilt mechanism that allows it to rock back and forth based on user weight. The backrest and seat can be locked into a particular position or set to rock freely through a lever on the left side under the seat. Moreover, tilt resistance can be loosened or hardened with a knob under the seat.


As I have already mentioned, this chair has a clean design that allows the Real Madrid C.F. colors and emblem to shine. The front of the backrest only features the club's year of establishment and colors. The neck and lumbar-support cushions include club crest and name, so removing these will leave the front with no significant references to the club whatsoever.


Things are different on the rear as both the club emblem and name have been embroidered below the opening for the strap.


The opening for the strap has a buckle for the strap on the rear of the backrest, which secures the neck-support cushion's strap that goes through the opening. If too low, you may also remove the safety buckle and secure the strap around the head support for a few inches of height.

Seat


The seat is 52.5 cm wide and 55 cm long, and its height from the ground can be adjusted from 38.5 to 46.5 cm. It is wide enough, and while there are contoured edges, the entire seat is available for use. However, the lumbar-support cushion takes up a significant amount of space, leaving users with only 42 cm (16.53 in.). Like the backrest, the seat's surface is also divided into four parts. Both sides have round edges, and the middle has a yellow embroidered diagonal stitching pattern followed by the club's three colors. The remaining part is made out of unadorned PU pleather.


The seam is yellow throughout, which matches the chair's aesthetics. The chair's height ranges from 124 to 132 cm (48.81 x 51.96 in.) and can be adjusted with a lever under the seat's right side. The seat's profile suggests that there is abundant filling, especially in the center. There is no reference to either the company or the club on the seat.

Neck and Lumbar-support Cushions


The two cushions are stuffed with memory foam that feels soft and comfortable even after long hours of use. The smaller of the two is for neck support and has had the club symbol embroidered. A safety buckle secures the strap to the backrest. However, the strap can also go through the top of the headrest like with other gaming chairs without using the safety buckle.


The larger cushion offers lumbar support and is attached to the chair's backrest. Its straps are hidden behind the front center portion and have a buckle you can detach them from. Removal and especially installation can be tricky because reaching the buckle is difficult. The lumbar-support cushion has the club name, and on its lower-left side are the club's three colors. A slight twist to the upholstery appears on its upper-right corner.

Armrests


The armrests are three dimensional (3D), which means they move in height, back and forth, and clockwise.


The padding on these armrests feels hard, and there is a button for height adjustments. The other two adjustments are done by pushing the armrests towards the desired direction. There is also a metal bar inside each armrest for height adjustments—it is of an anthrax or gunmetal color.

Five-star Base, Gas Lift, and Caster Wheels


The five-star base is made out of steel and has a 350 mm (13.77 in.) diameter. It is coated in black matte paint and seems rigid enough. The class-4 gas lift can hold the 120 kg (264.55 lb) stated user weight limit, and the five casters are made out of nylon and measure 60 mm (2.36") across. A nice design detail is that they look like car wheels. They roll smoothly on a flat surface as well as on carpet.
