Non-Selling

I've had this chair for a bit over 3 months now. If I rated it earlier I might have given it 4 stars but I decided to take time to get used to it first and realized it deserves 5 stars. This chair is very sturdy. Even after 3 months I don't feel like the chair has worn down or broken in at all. It's very firm which helps me with my back. It's worth noting I only weigh about 190 Lbs and am 68 inches tall. The DX Racing series probably would have worked for me as well. I chose the king series because the seat is 4 inches longer which makes it easier for me to sit crisscross style. Pros: -Firm -Doesn't wear out fast. I feel like this chair will last my for many years without it becoming uncomfortable -Very sturdy and made with a real metal frame -Comfortable for long term use every day -Most adjustable chair I've ever owned. -I had a small shipping issue. Cons: -Bit of a pain to put the back part of the chair on -Takes a while to get used to since it doesn't break in like most chairs with soft foam (Why I almost gave it 4 starts but instead decided to wait a few months before giving a proper review) - I had to take out over half of the cotton from the head pillow to make it comfortable/usable. I highly recommend others do the same as the chair isn't comfortable without the head pillow in my opinion. It has a zipper so its easy to do. -The back pillow. I don't think anyone actually uses it. I sure don't. If you want to use it you might need to take cotton out like for the head pillow. Overall I love this chair despite the heavy price tag. This chair is like a good pair of shoes. I'm more than happy to spend a bit more on a chair that will last a long time and stay comfortable. Much better than using a cheap $100-$200 chair that needs replaced after a year because it feels like I'm sitting on plywood. My only suggestion for DXRacer is to add an accessory that can be purchased as a slip-on cover for the armrests. I'd like something I could slide on to them made out of the same thick foam as the chair and could be replaced if needed after a year or two. The hard armrests are fine but I still would prefer some foam ones.

If you're looking for a higher end chair for your computer set up, most likely gaming, its likely you'll be looking at the DXRACER chairs. As of my writing of this, DXRACER offers the most inexpensive "gaming" chairs right around 300USD. Its quite a bit of money to drop on a chair, especially one not in your living room. Most of my computer chairs in the past were IKEA, Costco, or Walmart chairs. With a pretty wide range in price, anywhere from 50USD-150USD. So why did I make a big jump to twice the price? None of these chairs lasted me more than about a year. They fell apart. The 'cushions' were usually a small piece of foam it was easy to bottom out. After an hour of sitting on the computer, I was sure to get all sore. If you're here, you're likely thinking, Is the DXRACER worth the money? It has been for me. The two big differences for me with this chair: The main thing about this chair I like is the seat cushion. It's not some fluffy pillow, nor is it paper thin. Its about 6 inches of sturdy cushion that has just the right amount of give and support. It is comfy for hours upon hours of sitting. The second biggest difference maker is the upper body and neck/head support. I'm one that uses both the lumbar pillow and the head pillow (for my neck). I get the sense that most people don't. It took me about a week or two of using this chair to get used to the new sitting position. But now that I am used to it, It has made a big difference in my posture and comfort, even when I am not sitting in this chair. *PLEASE NOTE* When buying a DXRACER or any of the other brands of gaming chairs, pay attention to their height and weight recommendations, as not only is this chair designed to support your weight, but the overall width and height of the chair changes from one series to the next. I am a 5'7" slim guy, and this chair is the perfect size for me. If you're any larger, I would recommend looking at another series. This chair is not exceptionally wide, and the 'racecar' sides will become too constrictive. PROS: Less Expensive than all comparable models Available on amazon, unlike some of the competitors. Comfy for hours of sitting. My back and bottom don't get sore like my previous chairs. Upper body, neck and head support. Overall construction feels high quality, with a few exceptions Head Pillow, Lumbar Pillow, and Mousepad all included Cushion is this right amount of supportive/comfy (may not apply to your taste) The back of this chair can go to a 180* Made with high quality Fabric: It feels like a seat right of a car. And the fabric breathes very well. Does not get cold in the winter. NEUTRAL: May need to adjust to sitting up straight and having that head support. Felt weird for me for just over 1 week. But I really love the support now. This chair holds you in place. If you don't like that but want something like it, get a roomier (and more expensive) model. CONS: The base is plastic. Might want to spend some extra on a different DXRACER with a metal base. Its made out of Fabric: Its more difficult to clean. Leather DXRACERs are a bit more pricey. Arm rests are nothing special. (They're not horrible either, but if arm rests matter to you you may want something different) If you're not a small person, you'll need to buy a more expensive model. Overall this chair suits my needs perfectly. I hope it will last me for at least 2-3 years. If I experience any changes in this time, I plan to update my review accordingly.
