The Vertagear PL6000 comes in a slightly larger box than the SL4000 due to the increased size of the chair.

Once you open up the box, you will find all of the main parts, like the base seat and the backrest. You will also find the gas lift, five star foot base and wheels. At first glance, it is easy to pick out a few of the design changes made for the PL-series, the material appears to have a more breathable design and physically, it is wider than the SL4000.

To start off the build, the instructions had us fix the base plate to the seat. This was an easy enough process, you simply line up the holes and secure with screws. After that, you secure the metal bar on to the five star footbase and attach that to the gas lift.

At this point, we are most of the way through the build. The only thing left to do is to connect the back rest to the base seat.

 

When it comes to building gaming chairs, securing the back rest to the base seat is usually the tricky part. Back when we reviewed the Vertagear SL4000, I noted that the back rest was simply too bulky for the brackets and on top of that, some of the holes weren't cut out correctly, which made securing the back rest very difficult.

Fortunately Vertagear seems to have taken that feedback on board with the PL6000, as getting the back into place was a breeze this time around. All of the holes lined up correctly and I didn't encounter issues with screws not threading properly.

 

 

Now that the chair is fully assembled we can appreciate the new design, which I think helps it stand out a bit more from other gaming chairs currently on the market.

Vertagear was brand new to the gaming chair market back when we first reviewed the SL4000 and at the time, we did unfortunately encounter some issues that needed to be addressed. Fortunately, feedback from last year seems to have been truly taken on board as the PL6000 was a joy to build. All of the holes lined up correctly, I didn't run into issues with screws not threading, and best of all, I didn't have to spend an hour trying to squeeze the back rest into place.

Vertagear has done an excellent job improving its design for the new PL6000 series and refining the build process. Now, let's move on to comfort…
