Anda Seat is one of the gaming chair industry pioneers, in business since 2016. Today, it’s a global operation, serving North American, European, Australian, and Asian markets. In 2022, the company has streamlined its collection to serve professional and prosumer needs across all size ranges. Here we review the best Anda Seat gaming chairs now available to buy online.
The biggest thing missing from Anda Seat’s offerings in recent years was cohesion. Its sprawling premium chair collection simply put different upholsteries over the same frame. The collection seemed random and directionless.
To turn things around, Anda Seat took inspiration from Secretlab’s industry-leading ways. Like Secretlab, Anda Seat’s new collection is called the ‘2022 Series’.
What’s more, the new Kaiser 3 Series is an almost exact copy of the Titan Evo 2022 Series. Luckily, Anda Seat has added some fresh ideas to set its version apart.
What’s New At Anda Seat In 2022
The first big change is that Anda Seat has revamped its 2022 gaming chair lineup:
- 2022 Series debuts: Phantom 3 Series; Kaiser 3 Series
- Esports editions: Rainbow 6 Siege; NaVi; Fnatic
- Being phased out: Kaiser 2; Marvel; Jungle Series
The second is a focus on direct sales. AndaSeat.com now services customers in the USA, EU and UK, Australia, and China. During checkout, simply choose your country. That will process your order and shipping details using your local currency.
It’s also possible to buy Anda Seat chairs from third-party retailers like Amazon. However, the company tends to use third parties to clear out older stock. If looking for the latest and greatest, AndaSeat.com is the place to go.
The third big change is shorter warranty protection. Anda seat has canceled its opt-in 6-year warranty extension. Now, all chairs come with a standard 2-year warranty.
Anda Seat gaming chairs are available for direct sale in the United States, the EU, UK, Australia, China, and Japan.
Review: Anda Seat 2022 Series
Kaiser 3 Series
$459.99 $499.99 from Anda Seat
Anda Seat’s new flagship is an almost exact copy of the Titan Evo 2022 Series. That model introduced a groundbreaking 4-way integrated lumbar, streamlined seat, and strapless magnetic headrest. The new Phantom 3 Series copies all of those features, plus a few unique extras.
The coolest extra is a magnetic mounted retractable tabletop. That attaches to the armrest stumps with magnets, providing a space for a laptop or mobile use.
Note that the Kaiser 3 Series is a brand-new release. At the time of writing this review, the tabletop isn’t yet available for sale.
Kaiser 3 Features
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.
Here’s a summary of the key specs:
- 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
- Add-on: Magnetic mounted retractable tabletop
- Warranty: two years
Kaiser 3 Series chairs come in large and XL sizes. Anda Seat rates the large version able to fit sizes 4’11” to 6’3″. But even with a 4-way lumbar and mag headrest, such a massive range doesn’t seem realistic. Based on its dimensions, people 5’4″ and up will find the best fit in the large edition.
| Spec | Large | XL |
| Seat | 20.2″ (W) x 19.6″ (D) | 20.8″ (W) x 22.4″ (D) |
| Backrest | 21.2″ (W) x 33.4″ (H) | 22.8″ (W) x 33.4″ (H) |
| Seat height | 17-19.6″ | 17.3-20″ |
| Size rating | 6’0″ to 6’10”, 396 pounds |
Kaiser 3 Series Pros and Cons
The Kaiser 3 Series incorporates the latest-and-greatest gaming chair technology into its build. The problem is a lack of originality — these are Secretlab innovations which that company developed in-house.
- Cutting-edge features
- Nine striking designs
- Innovative magnetic tabletop add-on
- Flat, wide, spacious seat
- Cheaper than the Secretlab Titan
- Unoriginal concepts (copied from Secretlab)
- Cheap 2-year warranty
In one sense, that’s a bit shady. From another, the entire gaming chair industry was built on a singular racing-style design. To its credit, Anda Seat worked to exceed the Titan build with its magnetic tabletop and unique styles.
That quibble aside, the Kaiser 3 is an excellent new premium option. It has the same features as the Titan 2022, a slightly lower price, and some nice luxury extras.

Phantom 3 Series
The Phantom 3 is a smaller version of the Kaiser 3 with stripped-down prosumer features. Instead of 4D armrests, you get 2D ones. It also comes with a standard (not multifunction) tilt. That means you can rock the chair, but not lock the seat at angles.
As well, the Phantom 3 comes bundled with a traditional lumbar and headrest pillow set. These attach to the chair with straps and are height-adjustable.
- Support: velvet-covered XL lumbar pillow; medium-sized headrest
- Padding: 60kg/mᶟ one-piece molded foam
- Adjustments: 90-160° recline; 2D armrests; standard tilt
- Warranty: two years
Very short users should choose a Phantom 3 over a Kaiser 3. Medium-sized users can make good use of either one. Here’s how the Phantom 3 compares to the large-sized Kaiser 3:
| Spec | Phantom 3 | Kaiser 3 (L) |
| Seat | 20.8″ (W) x 20.4″ (D) | 20.2″ (W) x 19.6″ (D) |
| Backrest | 21.7″ (W) x 32.3″ (H) | 21.2″ (W) x 33.4″ (H) |
| Seat height | 16.9-20.4″ | 17-19.6″ |
| Size rating | 5’2″ to 5’9″, 200 pounds |
Phantom 3 Series Pros and Cons
The Phantom 3 is an alternative for those not sold on the Kaiser 3. It’s a smaller chair with a lower price and less spectacular features.
- Affordable
- Comfortable
- Consistent
- Odd sizing
- Short 2-year warranty
My only quibble is the weird sizing. Anda Seat lists its ideal range as 5’2″ to 5’9″. A slightly smaller backrest and reduced seat depth would make this a great fit for ultra-small sizes. As is, its appeal is limited to a smaller range of small-ish types.
Other than that, it’s a cheap, rugged, attractive chair. Priced at $349.99, it’s one of the best-value premium prosumer chairs of the year.
Anda Seat Esports Chairs
Anda Seat partners with two of the top-10 esports teams of all time. Recently, the company also signed a deal to provide chairs for Six Invitational 2022.
Anda Seat Fnatic Edition
Back in May 2020, Anda Seat announced a partnership with Fnatic, the UK’s most famous (and successful) esports team.
The Fnatic edition uses the team’s iconic black and orange color scheme. The Fnatic logo appears on the front of the chair in orange and on the back in a dark outline. Luckily, the branding isn’t overbearing. This design works even if you’re not a fan of esports or Fnatic.
Fnatic gaming chair specs
This is a premium esports gaming chair with support for up to 400 pounds.
Here’s a summary of the key specs:
- Functionality: 4D armrests (9 cm height range); recline to 160°; lockable tilt mechanism.
- Comfort: extra-large neck and lumbar pillows.
- Design: dark PVC upholstery with orange trim. The control levers under the seat are also a brilliant orange.
Anda Seat rates the Fnatic chair to support users from 5’9″ to 6’8″ weighing up to 441 pounds. That said, the recommended weight capacity is 330 pounds. Broadly, these dimensions should support most people of average sizes and above.
- Seat width & depth: 22.83″ (W) x 21.65″ (D) | 58 cm (W) x 55 cm (D)
- Backrest width x height: 23.23″ (W) x 34.21″ (H) | 56.4 cm (W) x 86.8 cm (H)
- Floor to seat range: 18.35″ to 20.59″ | 46.6-52 cm
- Size rating: fits people 5’9″ to 6’11” tall; 440-pound weight capacity (175-210 cm; 200 kg)
Pros and Cons
On the plus side, this chair comes stacked with premium features, a rugged build, and a sweet look.
- Full-featured
- Attractive design
- 400-pound support
- The bladed seat edges limit this chair to slim figures only
- More expensive than other Anda Seats
On the downside, it’s very expensive. As well, the bladed seat edges negate the 400-pound weight limit. Those limit the usable seat width. That means people weighing 350+ pounds will be too wide to fit between the hard seat edges!
Bottom line: unless you’re a hard-core Fnatic fan, give this chair a pass. It’s pricey, not well-suited to XL sizes, and part of Anda Seat’s out-of-date collection.

Natus Vincere Team Chair
In early 2021, Anda Seat partnered with Navi. That’s a Ukrainian CS:GO squad with 20 Tier 1 wins. Soon after they signed the Anda Seat deal, the team went on a blistering run to win two majors in a matter of months.
At present, NaVi ranks 7th overall in career earnings. Its official team chair comes in dark and brilliant yellow variations.
NaVi Gaming Chair Specs
As mentioned in this article’s intro, Anda Seat has a haphazard product history. For instance, the NaVi edition was a custom version of the Anda Seat Dark Demon. That was a series of prosumer chairs with flat seats and varied styles.
But soon after the NaVi chair’s release, Anda Seat discontinued the Dark Demon collection. All that remains is the NaVi edition. It’s the only chair of its kind in Anda Seat’s lineup.
- Functionality: 4D armrests; recline to 160°; multifunction tilt.
- Comfort: regular-sized neck and lumbar pillows.
- Cover options: black or yellow PVC faux leather.
- Warranty: 2 years, extendable to six year.
- Seat width x depth: 21.26″ (W) x 22.32″ (D) | 54 cm (W) x 56 cm (D)
- Seat height: 16.9-21.2″ | 43-54 cm
- Backrest width x height: 20.47″ (W) x 34.17″ (H) | 52 cm (W) x 87 cm (H)
- Size rating: fits people 5’6″ to 6’8″ tall; up to 350 pounds | 167-203 cm; 158 kg weight capacity
Pros and Cons
I was a big fan of the Dark Demon Series. It had a flat, spacious seat, premium features, and a great price. When the NaVi edition emerged, it looked like the ultimate chair for elite esports teams.
- Full-featured
- Spacious seat
- Striking designs
- Part of a discontinued series
It made no sense for Anda Seat to cancel the Dark Demon. It has better features than the Phantom 3 and a lower price. Because of that, the Anda Seat NaVi edition irritates me. Instead of a fresh new vibe, it feels like a relic of a discontinued era.

Rainbow 6 Siege Tourney Chair
Anda Seat’s NaVi edition is based on a defunct chair from the company’s past. In contrast, Anda Seat’s Rainbow Six Siege edition is a custom build of its Phantom 3 Series. Brand consistency has been missing from Anda Seat, so this is a good sign!
The Six Invitational 2022 gaming chair has the same features and dimensions as the Phantom 3 Series. Made in partnership with Ubisoft, these were used as tourney chairs during the Six Invitational 2022.

Legacy Series Bargain Clearance Deals
For the rest of this year, Anda Seat plans to phase out its legacy chairs and pump up its 2022 Series. To keep things moving, all are available for discounted prices. If you’re looking for bargains, this section is for you.
Anda Seat Kaiser II
Anda Seat’s former flagship chair is out of production and on an extended clearance sale. It comes in two color variations that each support 441 pounds.
Quick Specs
It’s the same chairs as the Fnatic edition with a lower price and the same bladed seat limitations.
- Functionality: 4D armrests (9cm height range); recline from 90-160 degrees; multifunction tilt-lock.
- Comfort: extra-large memory foam headrest and lumbar support pillows.
- Upholstery: smooth bonded PVC leather (scratch and stain-resistant). Choose all-black or wine-red designs.
The Kaiser Series has the same dimensions as the Fnatic chair. The recommended size is 5’9″ to 6’9″ and 176 pounds. As a super-heavyweight chair, the Kaiser Series might be too narrow for people with very wide hips.
- Seat width & depth: 22.83″ (W) x 21.65″ (D) | 58 cm (W) x 55 cm (D)
- Backrest width x height: 23.23″ (W) x 34.21″ (H) | 56.4 cm (W) x 86.8 cm (H)

- Size rating: fits people 5’9″ to 6’11” tall; 440-pound weight capacity (175-210 cm; 200 kg)
Bottom line: at its clearance sale price, the Kaiser 2 Series offers pretty good value.

Spider-Man superhero chair
For some reason, the Spider-Man edition has a regular price of $859.99. It’s now on sale for around half that amount. It’s a nice tribute to everyone’s favorite wall-crawler.
Against a blue base, the webbed Spider-Man ‘face’ on the front and back of the chair gives a pop of brilliant red. Intricate black webbing patterns adorn the front and back.
Quick specs

- Comfort: memory foam headrest; extra-large memory foam lumbar pillow.

Ant Man superhero chair
This model comes with 2D armrests and supports users from 5’5″ to 5’11” (165-180 cm).
It has a black PVC leather base with red accents on the seat edges and backrest wings. The Ant-Man logo is embroidered in red on both sides of the backrest. For detailed specs, check out this Anda Seat Ant-Man gaming chair review.
Pretty in Pink
This model comes in a soothing pink and white color scheme with 3D adjustable armrests.
It has basic features and compact dimensions suitable for adolescents and up.
One difference between this chair and the Dark Demon is 3D armrests instead of 4D. The 4D options move up/down, back/forward, side-to-side, and at angles. The 3D version lacks angle adjustments.
- Functionality: 3D armrests; recline to 160°; seat rocking with tilt-tension.
- Comfort: regular-sized neck and lumbar pillows.
- Cover options: premium pink PVC leather with white trim.
The Pretty in Pink chair has similar dimensions as the Dark Demon:
- Seat width & depth: 21.26″ (W) x 22.32″ (D) | 54 cm (W) x 56 cm (D)
- Backrest width x height: 20.47″ (W) x 34.17″ (H) | 52 cm (W) x 87 cm (H)
- Size rating: fits people 5’6″ to 6’8″ tall; up to 350 pounds | 167-203 cm; 158 kg weight capacity
Summary
Among the best pink gaming chairs, the Pretty in Pink chair is one of the most expensive. But it has consumer-level features, not pro ones.
Pretty in Pink from Anda Seat $399.99
The Pretty in Pink chair is available from Anda Seat in America, the UK, EU, and Australia.
Conclusion
For the past few years, Anda Seat has stumbled through haphazard development. Annually, a bunch of random new chairs would launch and then quickly get discontinued.
Thankfully, Anda Seat’s 2022 evolution looks headed towards stability. The Kaiser Series 3 is its new flagship. The Phantom 3 is a smaller, stripped-down version with prosumer features.
Moving forward, I’m hoping that Anda Seat develops its 2022 Series over the long term. For instance, new esports partners should use either a Kaiser or Phantom 3. As the line develops, we can look forward to new styles, features, and long-term evolution.
Bottom line: Anda Seat’s Kaiser and Phantom 3 chairs give it a strong foundation for success in 2022. Meanwhile, there are tons of bargains in the bin as the company clears out its legacy series.
Legacy edition chairs are also available for cut-rate prices in the Anda Seat Amazon store.
