    Bought for my husband as he had a DX Racer chair that was 10 years old and falling apart. He loves this chair!

    My son loves gaming and wanted to get this chair but was not able to afford it with his earnings. So I gave it to him on his birthday. He was so excited to see it. I am happy that he loves his chair. And he made me sit on it. It really is very comfortable.

    Comfortable and Affordable Computer Gaming Chair!

    This is my first gaming chair and the only reason I started looking at one was because my boyfriend had one and after sitting in it, I figured it wouldn't hurt to also have one given how much I'm at my desktop PC. Anyways, after some research, I settled on the AKRacing Core Series EX Gaming Chair primarily because it was reasonably priced ($399.00 but price-match to $285.00) and it was actually in stock at one of my local Best Buy stores! I honestly would have preferred something other than black but it's still good nonetheless! Assembly took about 30 minutes (manual w/out power tools) and the instructions were clear. So far, in comparing my gaming chair w/that of my original computer chair (office geared), I'd say the gaming chair is more "comfy" and the bolstering it has definitely helps!

    Up to this point I’ve owned three different gaming chairs and this one by far is the best of any other one that I have had the heavy duty steel in the ease of putting it together make it a no-brainer also one of the most comfortable seats in my opinion

    First chair arrived damaged which was a bit annoying since it was a very large box, very heavy, and needed to be returned. The new chair took some time to put together, but turned out well. Good back support, pillow and arm rests can be adjusted to find the best fit. Used for general office work and gaming.

    Pretty good and durable. The only thing I don’t like about is that it is not a leather chair so your hair and dust can be easily stick on the chair.

    Best chair ever

    Let me start by saying this chair is awesome, it’s built very strong and the hardware is top notch. This chair saved me after a motorcycle accident I fractured quite a few bones but I had two fractures in my pelvis that made it very difficult to walk and this chair saved me and I also broke my shoulder blade and with the multi positioning arm rests it made it so easy to find a good position to rest my arm on without my back acting up… not only is this chair great for gaming but it really saved me with my injuries.

    The chair has a clean sport cloth look and feel, and seems durable enough to last a long time. Setup was decent, but instructions could be clearer. The backrest pillow is uncomfortable but easily removable. Wheels are some of the smoothest I have ever heard on an office chair and glide like butter.

    The chair is outstanding, I love the adjust-ability of it. It is very comfortable and the lumbar support pillow is fantastic for my back issues. I just wish the instructions would have been more clear, they show you a multitude of images but leave no words to instruct the construction of the chair.

    10/10! It was a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. Super comfortable, adjustable arm rest and chair. Doesn’t roll when you sit on it, and it came with a head, lower back, and arm rest pillows.
