The Big 5: 1 of 5UK buying reality
Secretlab is largely D2C — Amazon images may be lookalikes. Measure doorways for box size. Soft bottoms on UK carpets need a chair mat.

Why buy this one

Review synthesis
UK themes: solid steel frame feel, lumbar adjust usefulness, and leatherette heat in summer. Assembly is a Saturday job. Not as 'esports branded' as Secretlab; often better value on sale.
