I have no problem recommending the Titan Evo to anyone looking for a sturdy office chair because I'm sitting in one right now and have been since I picked up my own in 2020. I'll admit my opinion of the "gaming chair" look, with its weird car seat aesthetic and bright colors, has diminished over the years, but I appreciate that the Titan Evo's style remains understated.
It also remains highly functional: As a bigger guy, I've worn through my fair share of cheap office chairs through regular use. I've seen reclining mechanisms break after a year, wheels stop spinning, and arms give out. Through trial and error, I've learned to avoid chairs that use plastic where they should really be using metal and to avoid chairs with obvious gimmicks.
The Titan Evo has none of those problems. Its metal frame, arms, and supports make it by far the toughest chair I've ever used, and it doesn't trade off in comfort. The foam seat and arms are still cushioning after years of daily use, though there is certainly some wear and tear. My habit of folding one leg under the other and adjusting my stance by putting my full weight on the chair's arms has done damage to the fake leather Secretlab uses. It's peeling off here and there, which isn't good.
But my Titan is still comfortable, and crucial to me, still a long way from breaking down and putting me in the tough spot of dropping hundreds of dollars on something else to sit on. For the gamer to wants to sit it and forget it, it's worth the investment.
