Alza's glowing chair has never been cheaper! It costs less than 2.5 thousand and has good reviews

Are you looking for a new gaming chair and are you a fan of the RGB gaming phenomenon? The Rapture BLAZE RGB with integrated backlighting has now dropped from the standard 4,990 CZK to 2,495 CZK with the discount code ALZADNY50. In the previous and at the time best promotion, this chair cost 3,493 CZK, so the current price is historically the lowest. It boasts decent reviews, and over a thousand units have been sold overall.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want an entry-level gaming chair with RGB and decent features without spending five thousand.
⚠️ Consider carefully if you sit 10 hours a day and primarily work – this chair is not an ergonomic work-class chair.
💡 At 2,495 CZK, this is the historically lowest price, practically half the regular price of the model.

Why this chair is interesting

Rapture BLAZE RGB targets gamers who want an entry-level gaming chair with a visual wow effect but don’t want to spend eight thousand or more on premium brands. It is a well-equipped chair with an adjustable backrest ranging from 90–150°, 2D armrests, and lumbar and neck pillows. The RGB lighting on the sides is the main marketing draw – in practice, it looks good even when turned off, so it’s not just a fleeting decoration.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The chair offers a rocking mechanism with locking in any position and adjustable rocking resistance, so you can fine-tune the backrest position and overall seating comfort according to your weight and preference. The seat height is adjustable within the range of 48–57 cm, and the gas lift is standard. The construction features a steel frame with reinforcement in critical areas, the weight capacity is 120 kg, and the suitable height range is 160–190 cm. The upholstery is made of scratch-resistant synthetic leather, and the foam is cold-molded – in practice, this means better breathability and greater elasticity.

The RGB backlighting is powered via a USB cable or a power bank, for which there is a special pocket under the seat. You control color, brightness, and mode changes with a remote control – there is no phone app, which some users see as a drawback. An important bonus compared to competitors is the 36-month (3-year) warranty, which Alza offers beyond the standard statutory warranty.

Practical aspects: dimensions, wheels, and assembly

The chair’s dimensions are 54 × 68.5 × 130–139 cm and its weight is 17.5 kg. Reviews indicate that it has a rather narrower construction – one user recommended it for smaller builds, while another noted that it might feel tight for larger people. Before purchasing, it’s worth measuring its dimensions compared to your current chair. The wheels are hard plastic with a rubber admixture, primarily designed for carpet, but they also work on tiles or laminate flooring.

Assembly can be done by yourself, and users repeatedly describe it as easy. Most components are pre-assembled, and the installation itself is usually completed within an hour. The RGB cable is thin and long; one reviewer ran over it with a wheel during the first week and damaged it – when installing, it’s worth routing it away from the chair’s path of movement.

What users say

On Alza, the model has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 52 reviews, with 85% of customers recommending it. Over 1,000 units of the chair have been sold, and the return rate is low (2.02%). People praise the price, build quality, gaming design, long-lasting upholstery, and the practical power bank pocket under the seat. Several users confirm that the surface still looks undamaged after several years.

However, criticism is recurring and noteworthy: several reviewers report squeaking after a few weeks to months of use – one user calls it “a problem with almost every Rapture chair.” There are also complaints about armrests without a rotation lock, less comfort during long sitting sessions, and a less stable rocking mechanism. A few units arrived with non-functional RGB lighting, and for one long-term user, the wheels started breaking after two years.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you sit eight or more hours a day at a work computer, look for an ergonomic office chair (Steelcase, Herman Miller, Markus from IKEA, LiberNovo Omni). The BLAZE RGB is a gaming chair for medium-duration sitting, not an ergonomic work machine. Likewise, it doesn’t make sense for gamers over 190 cm or over 120 kg – it’s good to take the stated limits seriously here. And if you need a quiet, trouble-free chair for many years, keep in mind the repeated mentions of squeaking after a few months.

As part of the current Alza Days, you’ll also find other discounted gaming chairs (Rapture FRIGATE, NEST, PODIUM), so if you don’t need RGB lighting, check those out too – the offer changes based on stock.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

At 2,495 CZK – the model’s historical minimum – the BLAZE RGB is a reasonable entry-level gaming setup if you want extensive adjustability, an RGB effect, and support from both lumbar and neck pillows. The half-price discount from the original price is significant, and the model has over 1,000 units sold with a low return rate. Just be aware that this chair is not built for all-day work use or for individuals over 190 cm – however, at this price point, another alternative with similar features is hard to find.

Do you buy a gaming chair primarily for comfort, or are you also attracted by the RGB ambiance in the room?
