Team, A week ago,I decided to purchase a gaming chair at a local computer shop in one of the malls here in Cebu since the piston of my old office chair does not work anymore. I did canvass at several stores but I'm not amazed by the brands that they were selling.While most of the chairs' upholstery that were presented to me were made of leather, the Sharkoon SKILLER SGS2 Gaming Seat was made of fabric and the price is just within my budget. That's why I decided to purchase this item. The main features of Sharkoon SKILLER SGS2 Gaming Chair based from the main website Sharkoon SKILLER SGS2 Gaming Chair are: A.
