Please report any spam that you see, it is an ongoing issue with YouTube! And while you're here, what do you make of the new Refine chair from Fractal?

[Daniel-zlim]

Lovely looking chairs - no crap on them, headrests that work, nicely designed, good adjustment and well made. Incredible first chair

[lovingthelife]

This is some standard to hit out of the gate, only negative I heard you say was the armrest adjustment being a bit loose

[mdqmusic]

If I hadnt watched a lot of your chair reviews id say this one was paid for, but you have been very critical in the past, so I believe you

[anthonyward]

Nice of them to send you a white one and a different material black one - I like the black one myself, I get hot gaming too so that material would work better for me

[beppe]

Look at you playing guitar and doing a Clapton solo at the start - you rock star you !

[pixelkid]

Thats impressive, Ive watched you tear apart from pretty big makes before in your reviews.

[GraymaneGaming]

Probably the most amazing chair I've had. Coming from someone who had a Herman Miller Mirra for 7 years.

I absolutely love this chair. Only slight con is the arm rests are very easy to move forward and back and don't have a locking mechanism for this. They don't move during use though which is fine!

£780 for the alcantara version? holy crap thats high end - some balls on them doing that with their first chair - alcantara is amazing material - quite expensive too

Been waiting for this since the show coverage a few months ago - it hasnt disappointed - I love fractal, they put a lot of thought into their designs and even looking at the headrest shows the effort they put in.

I wouldn’t expect anything less from Fractal tbh - always rated them highly

[joshuav.d.]

Sometimes they miss the mark a little, but i dont think this company have released many ‘turds’ in the past. This is a heck of a first chair, without gimmicks too

@11:44 The irony of a chair ad in the middle of a video on a $700 chair 🤣

A mat review end of the week, awesome !

[samshawn]

Moving that headrest to a neck rest position looks like a good idea, never seen a vertical movement adjustment on that area before

[NASIRMiyA-hfbn]

Wow finally a chair with a headrest that doesnt look like a complete afterthought!

[georgebrown]

Amazing to see they have painted the chairs to match the color scheme - so much attention to detail with this ones. But the prices are high, cant have it all I guess

[bernardo]

Going into the market in the high end, thats a a bold move - have to clap them for this one

[Wyatt]

The lumber support and headrest look well thought out, thats good

[fredericknewman]

Long term testing these would be great, those are some soft materials that do not tend to wear very well. My Apple phone case looks terrible in a few months
