Conclusion



As a primary supporter of napping and lounging, I have to say I approve of the Chief Rocker. I easily found myself nodding off on a lazy, rock-a-bye afternoon while seated in the Chief. Sumo Lounge has managed to find a few more uses for their high quality suede bags of comfort. I certainly wouldn’t have considered adding a metal frame to a bean bag, but in this instance it works quite well. The $199 price tag is on the steep side, but the build quality is there to back it up.

Unfortunately I was less happy with the seating position when playing video games or even using a laptop, as I sit in the Chief Rocker finishing this review. A rocking, suede covered foam sack is great for relaxing but less so for gaming. And, just as with the other Sumo seats, it is slightly difficult to conjure your lazy bones up and out of the low slung Rocker when your mother and/or wife tells you it’s time to go to work.

So, does that mean I wouldn’t recommend the Sumo Chief Rocker to someone in desperate need of a comfortable seating option? Not at all. But if they are planning on gaming more than lounging, I’d be more apt to aim them in the direction of Sumo’s appropriately named Gamer model instead. However if your chief goal is to rock away your afternoons and evenings in a sleep induced haze, if no one else can help, and if you can afford one…maybe you should hire the Rocker Chief.

The Good

Quite comfy for your run-of-the-mill loafing
Quality materials, sturdy construction
Rocking chair motion, no porch needed

The Bad

Not ideal for gaming
Expensive
Reviewer concluded with an A-Team reference for no good reason
