Verdict. The SL5000 is the racing gaming chair where Vertagear bets on durability: a five-spoke aluminium base, high-resilience UPHR foam and a steel chassis with a ten-year warranty, coverage uncommon in this category. The backrest is faux leather over foam, not mesh, so it runs warmer in summer, and it's worth being clear that those ten years cover the chassis, while the rest of the components get two years. The 4D armrests and removable memory-foam lumbar and neck cushions round out a solid proposition for anyone wanting a well-built gaming chair and willing to pay above average.

What the community says

Good overall rating in hardware reviews: the aluminium build, base stability and long chassis warranty stand out as differentiators versus plastic gaming chairs. On the downside is the usual faux-leather story, summer heat, and a price that goes above average.
