What the community says
Cougar carries a reputation for durable frames, and the Armor Elite reflects it: it's usually described as a chair that feels firm and well assembled. The most repeated limitation is the 2D armrests, short on travel versus rivals with 3D, and the heat of any synthetic-leather backrest in summer.
