Oh, come on. That’s basically the “Black Betty” console from the Y2k episode of Dilbert.

I don’t know… you can still see the real world out the sides.
Although that will save you from being unknowingly dunked in the pool by feisty seniors…

Such a blatant ripoff from https://www.mwelab.com/en/emperor.html Hopefully it will be a lot cheaper than theirs though.

For something that costs as much as people are speculating it will, it’s pretty damned ugly. If there is a Staples chain in the Star Wars universe, it sells that chair as a $125 knockoff version of Vader’s meditation chamber.
I always thought the skeuomorphic plastic metallic designs of a lot of gaming peripherals were terrible, but this makes me understand why plastic done marginally well is better than metal done poorly. This thing is aesthetically outclassed by cheap exercise equipment…

Updated the post. Thanks!
I clicked on this because I thought it said “New Ager gaming chair,” and I hoped to see a really fancy gaming chair festooned with crystals and racks for homeopathic remedies. I am sad. My imagination was better than reality, once again.
