Perfect Deal: This luxurious chair from Alza is half price, users praise it

This chair from Alza was sold for a much higher price until recently. Rapture GALLEY has now dropped to a record 3 745 Kč with code ALZADNY50, exactly half of the regular price. It boasts 4D armrests, a rocking mechanism, and a movable lumbar support – all these features also contribute to its very good user rating.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you are looking for a robust gaming chair with movable lumbar support for a height of 175–195 cm and want maximum comfort under 4 000 Kč.
⚠️ Consider if you are shorter than 175 cm (the neck pillow is positioned higher), or if you can’t stand any creaking – it appears in some units after a few weeks.
💡 At 3 745 Kč, this is the lowest price for this chair ever – the previous promotion ended at 5 618 Kč.

Why this gaming chair is interesting

Rapture GALLEY belongs to the mid-range gaming chairs, and its lumbar support is a particular draw. Upon its launch in 2025, it cost 8 490 Kč, gradually dropped to the usual 7 490 Kč, a previous promotion brought it down to 5 618 Kč, and now with code ALZADNY50, we get a price of 3 745 Kč. The price has thus fallen to its lowest level ever since its introduction – a drop of 4 745 Kč from the launch price.

At this price point, you typically end up with simpler models with fixed lumbar support in the form of a cushion on straps. GALLEY instead comes with a movable lumbar support on a joint, designed to follow the curve of the spine, and full-fledged 4D armrests – meaning adjustable in height, forward/backward, angle, and sideways. This is equipment usually reserved for more expensive models like Anda Seat or Secretlab.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The construction is based on a steel cross with reinforced bracing, and the entire chair weighs 28 kg. This is a lot – a negative for some reviewers (difficult to carry upstairs), but for most, it’s a sign of stability. A load capacity of 120 kg and a recommended height of 160–190 cm place GALLEY among the more versatile models, but reviews indicate that it best suits people from 175 cm upwards – shorter individuals’ feet dangle after rocking, and the neck pillow pushes them forward.

The rocking mechanism allows for a smooth change in seating angle within the range of 94–120° with adjustable resistance and backrest lock in any position. This means you can “lock” the chair in a working position or release it for rocking. The seat is height-adjustable within the range of 47–54 cm via a gas lift. The upholstery is textile, not leatherette – more breathable in summer, not cold in winter, easy to clean. Reviewers repeatedly praise this material as one of the main advantages over cheaper leatherette models.

In addition, hard plastic wheels with a rubber admixture (also suitable for carpets), a steel cross, and a 36-month warranty – one year more than the legal minimum.

Practical aspects: assembly, ergonomics, discount

Assembly, according to most reviews, is simple and can be completed in 30–45 minutes. An auxiliary Allen key is included in the package, as is the manual (isolated complaints about a missing paper manual exist but are not the rule). Due to the 28 kg weight, a second person is useful – not because of complexity, but for handling heavy parts.

In daily use, the movable lumbar support stands out. It is attached to a joint, so it adapts to the specific curvature of the spine – reviewers repeatedly rate it as “10/10” and one of the best features of the chair overall. The second praised element is the 4D armrests with an anti-rotation lock, which allow finding an ergonomically ideal position for every type of desk and keyboard.

Regarding the price: 3 745 Kč is valid only after entering the code ALZADNY50 in the cart. Without the code, the regular price remains 7 490 Kč. The discount code is part of the Alza Days campaign, whose validity is time-limited, and the offer may change according to stock availability.

What users say

On Alza, the chair has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 (100 ratings), 86% of customers recommend it, and 50 people wrote a detailed text review. This is a relatively large sample, from which a fairly consistent picture emerges. The complaint rate is 2.92% – slightly higher than for other gaming products, but still within the normal range for this category.

Among the praises, comfort, lumbar support ergonomics, quality of the textile upholstery, and robust construction prevail. Reviewers who switched from cheaper chairs around 3–5 thousand describe the leap in comfort as significant. People with a height of 178–193 cm praise its fit. The rocking mechanism and positioning options are generally perceived positively.

However, critical voices are systematically repeated and are worth taking seriously. The most frequent complaint is creaking after several weeks of use – it appears in a significant portion of reviews across different purchase years. For some, spraying WD-40 helped, for others it didn’t. The second recurring theme is the quality of the lumbar support in some units – a few reviewers described it as dented, tilted, or causing uncomfortable pressure on the back. This suggests that quality control is not at the same level for all units.

Third repeated complaint: the neck pillow is positioned relatively high – for people under 175 cm, it is unusable and pushes the head forward. Some therefore modify it by cutting the foam, others simply remove it. If this particular model didn’t appeal to you, but you are looking for a gaming chair on sale, you can also check out the current Alza Days, where other discounted models from brands like AlzaErgo or Anda Seat also appear.

When it doesn’t make sense

The discount is significant, but this chair is not for everyone. If you are shorter than 175 cm, expect that you might have to adjust the neck pillow or remove it completely – several reviewers solved this by cutting the foam. People under 170 cm tall should rather look for lower models.

A second reason to consider a different model: if any creaking truly annoys you. With GALLEY, this is a repeated complaint across reviews and can appear after several weeks of use. Fully silent operation is usually guaranteed only by ergonomic chairs from brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, or Haworth – but those cost 25 000 Kč and more. And thirdly: whoever plans to frequently move the chair (between floors, offices, and home) will encounter its 28 kg weight. Moving it upstairs is realistically a two-person job.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

If you are looking for a comfortable gaming chair with 4D armrests and movable lumbar support and you catch the price of 3 745 Kč with code ALZADNY50, this is one of the most advantageous prices in this category for a long time. It drops by more than half from its launch price of 8 490 Kč. For heights of 175–193 cm and regular office or gaming use, it’s a definite upgrade from cheaper chairs. Conversely, if you are under 175 cm tall, cannot stand creaking in a gaming chair, or plan frequent relocation, it’s worth looking for a different model – but usually at a higher price.
