The AndaSeat (aka Anda Seat) company is one of the gaming chair industry OGs. In 2023, it sells four ‘gaming office chair’ collections. These gaming chairs come stacked with ergonomic components that physically support healthy seated desk work. They also meet psychological appeal with classy designs suitable for both gaming rooms and boardrooms. So what’s the best AndaSeat gaming chair of 2023? The answer depends on your size and seating preferences. This Anda Seat gaming chair review covers all models available to order right now.
In 2023, AndaSeat offers up four unique gaming chair collections with some common aspects. First, all come with a standard 2-year warranty. However, these ultra-tough chairs are built to last much longer. Thus, you can extend to a five year warranty by following these steps.
Second, excluding fabric variants, all come draped in AndaSeat PVC upholstery. Compared with the PU leather found on most generic gaming chairs, PVC leather is thicker. If you pinch it really hard, you can feel its toughness. This is a big reason why AndaSeat can legit offer 5-year warranty extensions.
One thing I really like about AndaSeat PVC is its softness and breathability. I use (premium) Kaiser 3 and (budget) Phantom 3 chairs in tropical climates with no issues.
In my experience, both grades feel soft and pleasant. Yet, the premium Kaiser 3 material has a slight edge in buttery softness.

Reviews: Best Anda Seat Gaming Chairs
This section ranks each AndaSeat gaming chair collection based on features. The Kaiser 3 ranks first with the most advanced features. At the opposite end, the $299.99 Phantom 3 ranks as the cheapest model with the most basic features.
Kaiser 3: Latest And The Greatest
This is Anda Seat’s most luxurious gaming chair with the most advanced features. These include an integrated, 4-way adjustable lumbar support and a magnetic headrest. Functionally, it’s a Secretlab Titan Evo clone — with a distinct AndaSeat flavor.
4.5 out of 5.0 stars
- 4-way integrated lumbar, magnetic headrest, 4D arms, multifunction tilt
- Available in regular and XL sizes
- For sizes 5’8″ to 6’11”
- Weight capacity: 260 lbs (M); 396 lbs (XL)
Pros
- Best adjustable support features
- Has thicker, fluffier padding than the Titan Evo
- Cheaper than the Titan
- Soft, luxurious PVC upholstery
- Works well with relaxed 110° reclines
Cons
- Only comes guaranteed for 2 years
- Stiff headrest
- Not comfortable when used with extreme upright 100° reclines
The Kaiser 3 borrows the best features from the Secretlab Titan Evo. However, when posed side-by-side, the Kaiser 3 shows off a significantly thicker seat and unique backrest design.
Significantly, both the Titan and Kaiser 3 come stuffed with 65 kg/m³ foam padding. Yet, the Kaiser 3’s seat feels a lot softer than the Titan. In fact, with 40 lbs of weight stacked atop each seat, you can see the Kaiser 3’s padding has more give.
I reached out to AndaSeat for an explanation:
Kaiser 3 Specifications
Kaiser 3 chairs come with a 4-way integrated lumbar, strapless magnetic headrest, and flat, wide seat. It’s the same build as the Secretlab Titan 2022, differing only in upholsteries.
Chairs are available in seven premium PU leather styles and two fabric ones.
Summary Of Features
- Lumbar support: integrated, height and depth-adjustable
- Headrest: magnetic strapless memory foam pillow with cooling gel insert
- Padding: 65kg/mᶟ one-piece molded foam
- Adjustments: 90-165° recline; 4D armrests; multifunction tilt lock
- Warranty: 5 years
Sizing Specifications
AndaSeat rates the Kaiser 3 large for sizes 4’11” and taller. However, my 5’9″ (177 cm) size barely fits. As outlined in our Gaming Chair Sizing Guide, a seat too deep will pull your knees forward and distort your posture.
Based on my tests, I’ve revised the size rating for the large-sized chair. People shorter than my 5’9″ size may find the seat too deep for their legs.
A proper fit should yield at least two fingers of space between the seat lip and the back of your knees.
| Spec | Kaiser 3 Large | Kaiser 3 XL |
| Seat | 20.6″ (W) x 20″ (D) | 21.8″ (W) x 21″ (D) |
| Backrest | 21.2″ (W) x 31.5″ (H) | 22.2″ (W) x 32.6″ (H) |
| Seat height | 17-5.20″ | 17.5-20″ |
| Size rating | 5’11” to 6’10”, 396 pounds |
Kaiser 3 Usability Report
I own both Kaiser 3 and Secretlab Titan Evo chairs. In a head-to-head comparison, the Titan better supports sharp 100° upright postures. Its seat padding also delivers a firmer sitting experience.
On the flip side, the Kaiser 3 works delightfully at more casual 110° reclines. Combined with its extra-fluffy padding, it delivers a more relaxed experience than the hardcore Titan Evo.
Should You Buy A Kaiser 3 Chair?
In over a year of use, I’ve only found two quibbles with this chair. First, people shorter than 5’9″ may find the seat too deep for their legs.
Second, if you want to sit with sharp upright neutral postures, you’re better off buying a Titan Evo — or a high-end ergonomic office chair. However, most people choose gaming chairs because they don’t want to sit in formal, office-style postures.
On that front, I find sitting with a steep 100° recline uncomfortable in a Kaiser 3. Then, the firm headrest tilts my neck slightly forward. In contrast, the Kaiser 3 hits a desk work sweet spot with a more relaxed 110° recline.
- For sizes 5’8″ or taller
- You want the most cutting-edge gaming chair features
- You prefer a soft seat and more relaxed sitting style
- You prefer sitting with sharp upright postures: buy an office chair instead
- You need something more affordable support: check AndaSeat’s other collections
Bottom line: hardcore posture purists should buy a high-end office chair. Gaming chair fans seeking more comfortable, casual posture support — with flashy cutting-edge features — should consider buying a Kaiser 3.

Kaiser II: Fully loaded Gaming Office
AndaSeat’s former flagship chair comes in two color variations with dimensions suited to slightly big and tall sizes. Both come fully-kitted with premium features. These include 4D armrests and a multifunction seat tilt mechanism.
4.0 out of 5.0 stars
- 22.8″ (W) x 21.25″ (D) seat
- 330-pound weight capacity
- For sizes 5’9″ to 6’8″
Pros
- Premium features (4D arms, multifunction tilt)
- Thick 65 kg/m³ padding
- Soft yet rugged PVC upholstery
Cons
- The 21.25″ seat is too deep for shorter sizes
The only technical quibble with these gaming-office chairs is the big and tall sizing. Shorter folks should consider other options.
Kaiser 2 Specifications
This chair’s 21.25″ usable seat depth is suitable for sizes 5’9″ and taller. The seat’s width is 22.8″ from the outer edges; the space between the inner edges is 16.5″.
These dimensions make it suitable for tall guys of average to moderate weight.
- Lumbar support: external pillow
- Headrest: included
- Recline: 90-160°; multifunction seat tilt
- Seat padding: 65 kg/m³ (firm)
- Styles: dark or burgundy PVC leather editions
- Warranty: 5 years
- Seat: 16.5″ (inner W) x 21.25″ (D)
- Backrest: 23.8″ (W) x 34.25″ (H)
- Seat height: 19.2″ to 22″
- Size rating: 5’9″ to 6’8″; 330 pounds
Kaiser 2 Advice
This chair comes fully-loaded with 4D arms and a multifunction tilt. That lets you rock the seat, lock it upright, or lock it at angles.
Excluding the Kaiser 3, this is AndaSeat’s most technically-advanced chair. But it’s not built for everyone — only tall guys with slim to husky builds. Short guys will find the seat too deep; obese ones will find its bladed edges too narrow.
- For sizes 5’9″ or taller
- You want a high-end gaming chair with fully-loaded features
- You prefer a more conservative, office-style aesthetic
- You are shorter than 5’9″
- You prefer a chair with flashier, gamer-style aesthetics
- You don’t like using external lumbar pillows
Bottom line: a fully-loaded gaming office chair draped in thick, luxurious PVC leather. The Kaiser 2 provides a luxurious, affordable sitting experience for tall men of moderate weight.
Kaiser Series from AndaSeat $399.99
Also available on Amazon for Price not available.
Frontier XL: Prosumer Gaming Office
The Frontier XL is a riff on the Kaiser 2. Both chairs have similar looks, 4D arms, and a choice of black or burgundy upholsteries. The Frontier XL differs with a standard (not multifunction) tilt lock. That lets you rock the chair or lock it upright — but not lock the seat at angles.
4.0 out of 5.0 stars
- 16.9″ (inner W) x 21.26″ (D) seat
- 330-pound weight capacity
- For sizes 5’7″ to 6’8″
Pros
- 4D armrests
- Thick 65 kg/m³ padding
- Soft yet rugged PVC upholstery
Cons
- Comes with a standard (not multifunction) tilt lock
- The 21.26″ seat is too deep for shorter sizes.
Like the Kaiser 2, the Frontier XL looks suitable for tall guys with average builds. To verify that, we tested this chair with a slim 6’2″ model:
Our model’s fit tells us two things. First, the backrest and headrest look like a good fit for sizes 5’10” and taller. Second, the 21.26″ seat depth leaves a slightly excessive gap between the back of his knees and the seat lip.
It seems the extra-large lumbar pillow pushed his lower back around 2″ away from the seat. That reduces the usable seat depth to around 19.26″. Thus, sizes taller than 6’5″ may find a significant gap between the back of their knees and the seat lip.
As a reference, the above shot shows a 6’5″ (195 cm) user in a (discontinued) Anda Seat T-Pro II Big & Tall chair. Users sized 6’5″ or taller may find a similar gap behind their knees — a perfectly usable depth for tall guys.
Frontier XL Chair Specifications
The Frontier XL chair has the same features as the Kaiser 2 — with a standard tilt rather than a multifunction one.
- Lumbar support: external pillow
- Headrest: included
- Recline: 90-160°; standard seat tilt
- Seat padding: 65 kg/m³ (firm)
- Styles: dark or burgundy PVC leather editions
- Warranty: 5 years
Frontier XL Dimensions
Frontier XL and Kaiser 2 chair dimensions are almost the same. Both are designed to support men with average builds sized 5’9″ and up:
| Spec | Frontier XL | Kaiser 2 |
| Seat | 16.9″ (inner W) x 21.26″ (D) | 16.5″ (inner W) x 21.25″ (D) |
| Backrest | 21.65″ (W) x 33.8″ (H) | 23.8″ (W) x 34.25″ (H) |
| Seat Height | 19.2-23.2″ | 19.2″ to 22″ |
| Size rating | 5’7″ to 6’8″; 330 pounds | 5’9″ to 6’8″; 330 pounds |
Frontier XL Advice
If you’re a tall guy with an average build, the Frontier XL is a solid desk chair candidate. Its 4D arms give it the functional feel of a more expensive chair.
The extra-large lumbar pillow is comfortable and easy to use, with just the right level of squishiness. We also tested this model with both sharp 100° reclines and more relaxed ones — posture support was consistent across all recline ranges.
- For sizes 5’9″ or taller
- You want a chair with 4D armrests
- You prefer a more conservative, office-style aesthetic
- You want to sit with both casual 110° reclines and sharp, office-style 100° angles.
- You are shorter than 5’9″
- You are an obese person with a wide butt and thick legs
- You prefer flashier, more gamer-style designs
Bottom line: assuming this chair fits your body type, it offers luxurious support. Wrapped in premium PVC leather, it’s rugged, easy to use, and easy to keep clean.

Phantom 3: Affordable Starter Chair
The Phantom 3 is the cheapest AndaSeat chair with the most basic features. It’s upholstered in the lowest grade of PVC leather and comes with bare-bones 1D armrests. Even so, after a week of testing, this chair blew away my expectations.
If you’ve never used a gaming chair before, the Phantom 3 is one of the best entry-level models on the market.
Features: 3.5 out of 5.0 stars
- 20.47″ (W) x 19.6″ (D) seat
- 200-pound weight capacity
- For sizes 5’6″ to 5’11”
Pros
- Thick 60 kg/m³ padding
- Soft yet rugged PVC upholstery
- Effective, easy to use lumbar pillow
- Supports good posture through various recline ranges
Cons
- The basic 1D arms are psychologically depressing
- Comes with a standard (not multifunction) tilt lock
Phantom 3 Chair Features
Priced under $300, this is a basic gaming chair with 1D armrests and a standard tilt lock (rock or lock upright, but not lock at angles). Despite these technical shortcomings, the Phantom 3 performs like a high-end gaming chair.
After a week of full-time testing, I was most impressed by the consistent posture support. Across all recline ranges, users will find good lower and upper back support.
This makes it easy to keep your body moving while you sit. Every few minutes, simply toggle your recline angle. Doing so will switch up engaged back muscles while also boosting circulation. That will help you to sit comfortably for longer periods — without muscle strain.
- Lumbar support: external pillow
- Headrest: included
- Recline: 90-160°; multifunction seat tilt
- Seat padding: 60 kg/m³ (firm)
- Styles: 8 PVC leather styles and 2 fabric ones
- Warranty: 5 years
- Seat: 20.47″ (W) x 19.6″ (D)
- Backrest: 21.6″ (W) x 33″ (D)
- Seat height: 17.9-21.85″
- AndaSeat size rating: maximum height 5’9″ and 200 lbs
- ChairsFX size rating: 5’6″ to 5’11”
Phantom 3 Chair Advice
If you’ve never used an ergonomic chair before, why splash out on a high-end power chair? The Phantom 3 lets you start your ergonomic journey with an affordable price and intuitive features.
For best results, proper lumbar support usage makes a massive difference. Every time you sit down, lift your lumbar pillow a few inches higher than the seat.
Aim for your lumbar support to hit just above your beltline. That’s all you need to ensure consistent good posture in this chair.
Notably, a few cheap gaming chairs under $200 also come with 1D arms. But based on my tests, none perform as well as the Phantom 3.
- For sizes 5’6″ or taller
- You have a tight budget
- You have never used a fully-ergonomic chair before
- You’re an experienced ergonomic chair user wanting a power seat built for connoisseurs
- You can afford a full-featured gaming chair
The Phantom 3 chair’s loose lumbar pillow makes a big difference — effective and easy to use. The softness of the seat also feels just right.
Best of all, this chair supports good posture across all recline ranges — few gaming chairs in this price range perform this well.

Phantom 3 Transformer Series

Features are exactly the same as the Phantom 3. Highlights include 1D arms, standard tilt functionality, and a 5-year warranty.
