While the Respawn 110 gaming chair offers style, decent comfort, and a broad seat, it falls short in adjustability and build quality. Others within the Respawn lineup offer more value

Product Snapshot

Overview

The Respawn 110 is an entry-level gaming chair, released in 2022 as a 2023 model. While it lacks the broad adjustability of the best office chairs on the market, it does have up to 135º of recline and a tilt lock feature. Seat height, angle, and tilt tension are adjustable, and there’s a 360º swivel base. The overall design follows the racing seat pattern as typical for the best gaming chairs. The headrest is integrated and non-adjustable. The 110 comes in a variety of fabric and color options, ranging from staid gray cloth to more extraverted faux leather with yellow accents. The weight capacity is 275 lbs.

Consensus

our Verdict

Though it has useful ergonomic tilt and tension adjustment features, overall, the Respawn 110 lacks the level of adjustability expected at its price point. Maximum tilt is just 135º, which is in the bottom 20% of tested chairs, and there are no independent seat tilt and backrest angle adjustments, making it less suitable for gamers who require precise ergonomics.

The chair provides some relief from back pain, but it doesn’t offer the robust lumbar support found in higher-priced models. Build quality is a concern with the Respawn 110, as the materials are thinner, and it deforms under load more noticeably than other chairs in the Respawn lineup. Assembly is more challenging than the average chair, with some fit-and-finish issues. Weight capacity is 275 lbs, which is average for gaming chairs.

Reason to Buy

  • Broad cushions
    • The Respawn 110 has a broad and supportive basic design for gaming

    • Good baseline ergonomics for tall gamers

  • Good maneuverability
    • Easy-to-use 360º swivel

    • Caster wheels work smoothly

  • Stylish fabric and faux leather options
    • Available in multiple colors with choices of breathable fabric or polyurethane faux leather

Reason to Avoid

  • Limited adjustability
    • The maximum backrest angle of 135º is less than average for gaming chairs

  • Lacks lumbar support
    • No built-in adjustable lumbar support

  • Flimsy build quality
    • Larger or more fidgety users may notice creaks and deformations

  • Bulky for its weight capacity
    • This 42-lb chair weighs more than the average gaming chair

    • The 275-lb weight limit is just average, while some competitors accommodate up to 330 lbs.

The Razer Iskur gaming chair has more lumbar adjustability and a slightly higher weight capacity, 299 lbs, compared to 275 lbs, than the Respawn 110. The Razer also has a slightly larger maximum recline angle of 139º compared to 135º on the Respawn. The Razer’s metal and plywood frame deforms less under pressure, and it comes with adjustable armrests and a neck pillow, which the Respawn lacks. Our Razer Iskur review has more information. For a lower-priced option, look to our DarkEcho gaming chair review.

Compared to the EasySMX Big and Tall, the Respawn has a lower weight limit of 275 lbs compared to 350 lbs. The EasySMX gaming chair also provides a built-in neck pillow, which the Respawn lacks. However, the Respawn chair is easier to maneuver and offers a tilt-lock feature not available on the EasySMX. See our EasySMX Big and Tall gaming chair review for more details.

Compared to the Respawn Flexx, the 110 model has a larger maximum recline angle of 135º instead of 115º. However, the Flexx’s 300-lb weight limit is greater than the 110’s 275-lb. The Flexx is missing the 110’s infinite angle lock feature but has a height-adjustable and pivoting headrest feature that the 110 lacks. The Flexx also has adjustable armrests, unlike the 110.
