Order Discount Code (Discount of %5 per chair): PCF-5
A few months ago I set out to see what I could do about upgrading my chairs. For the past few years I had used Amazon banquet chairs in place of folding chairs, but lately those started to prove too uncomfortable for the larger folks in our crew. I wasn't about to spend $300-400 a chair for Pharaoh chairs without doing some research, and eventually struck up conversations with some Alibaba vendors.
I was immediately struck by the pricing, and was able to get a MOQ order of 12 chairs in to the vendor I enjoyed speaking with the most during my research phase. Enter Anji Aimier Chair Industry Co. With a wide variety of chair types, fabric types, and customization options, I set out to get a cheap order of single-table chairs to review for the board.
While I knew that I was in for a long lead time, I could not pass up the opportunity to get these chairs shipped TO MY DOOR for less than $120 per unit! I waited to get some hours into the chairs before I posted this review, but the time has come to say that I am absolutely AMAZED at the quality per cost. There are many types of chairs offered, but I decided on a black on black on black Liverpool style chair, which is equivalent to (if not the same supplier as) the Pharaoh "Poker Pro Chair", as I felt it fit the mood I was going for the most.
After discussing with the vendor for a few days, I placed the order. Unit price was $75 per unit, and after freight, tax, and Alibaba fees, the total per chair came to just $119 and change per unit. After a couple days short of 2 months from the day of payment, UPS delivered the chairs directly to my house. They came in multiple boxes - one containing all of the legs, and one for each chair containing the upper, lower, and hardware. Total assembly time was less than 5 minutes per chair!

Quality
Multiple people were interested in seeing how my order went before firing off inquiries of their own. Out of the box they are heavy, thick, and the cushioning is firm in the lower seat, and softer on the upper seat. I am happy to report that after ~ 30 hours of play, they are as fresh and as new as they were right out of the assembly. I even expect them to break down a bit over time, which will only make them MORE comfortable.
I confirmed before ordering that these would easily handle 400 lbs (i.e. American weight) players, of which I have a couple nearing or over 300. The first 8 hour game was with a regular who is 6 foot 7 inches and is at or around 300 lbs, and he said it was the best addition I've added to the game after 2 decades. I don't see the cushioning being a problem long term, but only time will tell.
Ordering
The entire process was done via Alibaba's messaging system. The supplier's Alibaba store has many chair types, and I specified the chair type, legs, and colors via their messaging sy stem. After the details were finalized, I was sent an invoice (again, via Alibaba) that explained the rest of the taxes and fees.
The contact Gavin was extremely thorough and clear, which I did NOT find in the other suppliers I was talking to. He also sent a PDF of their chair catalog, which I'll attach here.
Shipping
This came with a standard China supplier timeline - 2 months from payment to arrival at my door. A couple of the boxes were, very plainly, beat to shit. With that said, I was not missing a single piece! There was NO DAMAGE to the cushions or the hardware. A singular piston cover was cracked very lightly during transit, however it is not visible because it is black, and it is under the table. You would have to get on your hands and knees to inspect each one to find it.
Final Thoughts & Discount
Because there are so many options I won't go into great detail in this thread about the height/form/function of this particular chair (I have and will continue to answer in the GB thread), but I would not hesitate to refer this seller to anyone on PCF. I know chairs are one of the larger purchases we'll make for our equipment (at least in size/effort, if not cost), and this SIGNIFICANTLY reduces entry into the chair market for most of us.
The price cannot be beat, and not only are these a great product for their price, but I would bet that they are in line with current casino gaming chairs. After being so impressed with the experience, I asked if the vendor was willing to provide a discount to the forum, given the interest of many hundreds of units I assume were to come from this. I am not a vendor, I am not a GB runner, I am not a middle man. I am a happy customer who was able to work out a discount code because I felt the vendor deserved it. You can provide the below discount code in your ordering process with Gavin -- again, this is all through messaging via Alibaba.

Something awesome to note that I'm REALLY hoping to see some of you do is - they also offer custom embroidery on the chair backs
I'm happy to answer any questions on my ordering experience, and as stated above, and I'll port over some questions about these specific units from the original thread: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/high-quality-poker-and-casino-chairs-china.104335/
