so Linus has covered gaming chairs before from max anomic and dxracer you can see those reviews here but this time around we were approached by a Rosie a Swedish company that wanted us to check out their Torretta excel you may have noticed at one point or another that I'm a fair bit larger than Linus and given that the treta excel is and I quote one of the first chair is designed for people that need a larger and wider chair I thought I'd check it out and just a reminder to stay subscribed because the conclusion of the $300 budget PC scrapyard wars is coming out this Saturday at midnight or more specifically probably sometime Sunday morning save one select Intel 730 SSDs during Intel's president's week sale February 22nd to March 1st 2015 click now to learn more let's start with the packaging and assembly experience there was some sort of fairly thin foam around most the metal arms of the chair which seemed to do an okay job and the actual padded seat and back sections of the chair were protected by a very thin layer of bubble wrap not the most well protected shipment ever but it did show up without any noticeable damage so that was good the chair actually did take quite a while to build in comparison to the max anomic in dxracer chairs and this was directly caused by poor manufacturing tolerances there were many times where be trying to screw in a bolt but the hole cut in the fabric was not even remotely centered over the threaded screw hole this resulted in me having to cut away some of the fabric in order to be able to continue and even after fixing a large amount of these cuts manually there were more issues the back didn't fit into the base of the chair that well at all and required me to crank the support arms quite hard in order to get them around the backing and not something you really want to see in a brand new product I might just be nitpicking now due to the being frustrated by the previous manufacturing tolerance issues but the plastic covers on the arms on each side of the chair seemed subpar to me as well on the left hand side while looking at the chair from the front there's a tall plastic piece this piece is only secured by one screw and moves very easily if it gets caught on something not really a big deal but it just feels cheap and if I were to move this chair to the new office say I would legitimately worry about it snapping off in transit if it happened to get caught on something lastly you just need to slip the head pillow over the top and thread the clips of your height adjustable lumbar support cushion around the outside I personally don't care much for lumbar support cushions as they don't seem to be the right size and I prefer the car seat implementation where their use are adjustable normally I don't like head cushions either especially because I wear headphones and with multiple monitors when you look around they can kind of scratch into each other and it it presses against the cushion and doesn't make it feel very good or you and here the scratching which ghosts into the cans and makes a fairly loud noise it's just not a great experience but that being said out of the three chairs we have I prefer the head cushion of the treta XL as I personally like the material and my head doesn't feel like it's going to slip off to the sidewith like it does with the other ones which is good because I also feel like the treta XL needs the head cushion due to the very noticeable and not padded enough framing which runs around the outside of the chair some people may be able to fit in this chair without their head resting against the framing but I can't unfortunately for me that is not where the issues with the frames stop unlike the seat in my car which lightly curves around and comfortably holds me from the back the treta XL has large cutout to accurately defined by Tarun as wings the jet outs make it feel like you're being restricted almost like you're in a cup or a bowl the wings need your legs force you into a very straight forward position I often like to change positions while I'm sitting as I'll likely be doing so for quite some time and one of my favorite mainly consists of folding one leg under the other and having my knee kind of sit out to the side not really a possible thing in this chair the wings on the back of the chair are no more comfortable I have very wide shoulders and these wings have the unfortunate property of curving my back and pulling my shoulders forward this feels very awkward and resulted in my natural position being leaning forward as leaning back was just not worth it a surprising result coming from a cheap crappy IKEA chair which I can lean back in just fine the fabric upholstery material was actually a big plus however if you're not looking for leather both the Maxima can dxracer chairs come with leather materials so having the arroz e treta XL have a different more breathable option is actually kind of cool the benefit of which is that if you're like me where I'm basically a humanoid space heater it won't actually kind of heat up as much which is quite refreshing unfortunately the this type of fabric does have a downside if you happen to be a sloppy eater or just plain not that great with managing potentially spraying liquids this fabric will absorb that liquid and it will stain just a heads up the various adjustments seemed fine enough and it doesn't go up or down all that far but I anyone would really need more in either direction much like other versions we've seen this chair has the potential to go way too far back I've been informed that some of you want this functionality I don't get it but it has it and it's by no means a bad thing so there you go the cushion is quite dense and lends itself like the rest of the chair to a very fixed position if your shoulder span can fit within the wings this combination will likely help to keep you in good posture and the density of this foam is more similar to max Nam ik than dxracer I personally prefer max na mix overall implementation but that may be bias due to being able to comfortably fit in the chair as a whole which leads us to the conclusion this chair isn't directly comparable to the previous two as it is specifically designed as a larger chair for larger people my main gripe of this chair is that I prefer the two chairs that were designed for smaller people because I fit better not because I'm small but because I'm too big for the chair that was designed for big people and the other smaller chairs offer quite a bit more leeway in the size of their users with less aggressively curved wings on the side I feel like I would have preferred one of a Rosie's other chairs from their monza or Enzo series as they seem to have less aggressive wings and don't have the issues of these giant bar like wings on the side which hold you like a bowl and are just generally really uncomfortable alright let me know what you guys think over on the forum do you want a chair that kind of holds you like a bowl was I too hard on it for that which chair out of the three that we've reviewed do you prefer again let me know on the forum while you guys are on the forum become a contributor to help us out and a whole bunch of different ways you have cool new things coming for contributors fairly soon I've been saying that for a while but I will fix the issues I swear also change your Amazon link if you don't know how you can check the support land-speed your group button in the top right hand corner you change your Amazon link to help us out that'll give us kickbacks interview buy things I don't think you can buy this chair on Amazon but anyways when you buy other things back over on YouTube hit the like and dislike buttons if you feel like summer is fun or if you like any other season that isn't summer because you should hit those anyways also subscribe to see more cool stuff like scrapyard Wars cuz that's everything anyone wants these days anyways thanks a lot for watching and I'll see you next time
