The AKRacing Core EX is a great PC gaming chair. It’s a solid chair that hugs you with cushion. The adjustments you can make with it are fantastic. Being 5’8” 188lbs with a bad back, I enjoy the lumbar and neck pillow. Takes about 15 minutes to put together by yourself and everything fits nicely. If you’re using this at a computer desk for gaming it’s going to be a little more adjustable than a regular desk chair. Little things like getting your arms perfectly level with the desk and having the armrest to pivot your mouse arm on. That’s something you really want with a game chair and this one can do that. Not rocking back and forth when you put your Logitech G920 Racing wheel in front of you. That’s something you really want in a game chair. This chair can give you that without sacrificing comfort. Heck, you could even remove the base and mount this to a Racing sim frame perfectly. It’s not real big and it looks and feels of quality. I’m happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality budget/not outrageously priced gaming chair.

Bought this chair for Work From Home purposes only. Work for about 8-10 Hrs a day and needed something comfortable and sturdy that would last me a while. As far as comfortability I believe it meets expectations, though for the price I would have liked it to be a bit comfier (with padded arm rests, etc.).
The downside of the purchase were the instructions, not a single item was labeled to follow along you just have to guess the pieces were going on the right way. I also seen various reviews about the pillow not sticking to one position, and that may be the case for many because there are small pieces included to assist with that matter but no clear instructions on how to apply it. I had to look up a few Youtube Vids/Amazon reviews to fix the issue. Overall, not bad once you have everything figured out after 10 hours haha.

Solidly built. Easy to assemble. Directions are not the best but it is a simple design. Comfortable. I could not confirm before purchase but the back has preset positions you can choose from. Very happy. The chairs at work are over $1000. This chair is equally comfortable.

This chair is really good build quality and over all performance. Very comfortable. Assembly of this chair is also really easy and you should be able to do it within 30 mins. It’s also a really heavy chair so you know it should last you a while

I am VERY happy with this purchase. I just started working remote and the regular old office chair was giving me really bad neck/back pain. This chair is amazing as it offers full support for the back/head and it is very comfortable. It also reclines all the way back so you can lay down completely and it feels very sturdy when doing so. Set up is very easy.

Great staff and wonderful experience! The chair is awesome, the seat is a little small but the ex series is wider overall. I like the price, and the quality a lot. Putting together was a breeze.

I bought this for my son who spends numerous hours each day on the computer & gaming consoles with his friends. He really likes it. It has a lot of support for your neck and back, making it much more comfortable for long hours of sitting when compared to a regular computer chair. The back can be tilted, and the armrest can be adjusted. I was debating between this and the EX-wide one. Glad I chose this because it was adequate for my almost 6 ft. & 230 lbs. son. The other one costs a lot more for just a couple of inches wider and taller.

Bought this for my office for extra support since I have lower back pain and this is perfect. Very comfortable and supportive. It adjusts up and down, forward and back. Great improvement over my previous chair and doesn’t cause lower back pain after a day of work.

I Have been looking for another gaming chair to replace my old gaming chair and when I seen that best buy had this one I have checked it all out and when I got this one not only it is co comfortable to sit in all the time but just the feeling sitting in it playing forza and getting the feeling like your sitting in the seat of the vehicle. the quality of this chair is by far the best in my book. If your looking for a great gaming chair or a office chair that your going to be sitting in for a long period of time I would chose this one. It will be the best investment that you will ever make.

My boyfriend spends most of the day on his PC gaming. He's been wanting one of these high quality gaming chairs for awhile now. We got it on sale as one of the deals of the day. This is sssooo much better than the craptastic, ancient hand-me-down office chair we had before. Of course its adjustable in just about every place/part that is on the chair. He would have a lot of body aches and pains (especially his back) from gaming all day in the old chair. That's all history now that he has this chair. Its definitely worth the regular on-sale price! These chairs are also built to last! But if we ever had to get another chair, its definitely going to be an AKRACING gaming chair!

I’ve had this chair for over a year. The material has held up really well. It is hard to clean. Little bits and crumbs get stuck in the fabric easily. If you don’t mind tightening up the bolts every so often you can’t really go wrong with this one. Pretty comfy for long gaming / work sessions.

Amazing chair!!! It is so comfortable! The quality is amazing except for one single defect I saw when unwrapping the plastic off the seat part of the chair. There is a cut of some sort that appears to have happened prior to the chair being wrapped up in plastic and packed in the box. The good thing about the cut is that it is on the front under side of the seat so that it is not visible and not affected by the action of sitting on the chair. So it is not getting larger or anything. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle of returning/exchanging. This is the reason I gave 4 stars and not 5. Otherwise, very comfy. I work from home 8-5 on the PC then roll over to the Xbox and play games for 3ish hours lol. Can sit all day!

Bought this for Christmas for my son. Gave it to him early. We put it together (together), and it was pretty easy to do. My son has been very pleased with the chair thus far. No complaints, no observations to make other than it works for him and his gaming console/computer desk area. He says the chair is comfortable and suits his needs. He likes the back support and head support pillows, and he likes that the chair reclines. So far, so good!

I bought this primarily for an office chair since I am working from home due to covid. It is extremely comfortable and doesn't hahve any squeaks or creaks. For a larger person I believe there is a wider chair that might be better but for me this one is great. I have also used it to play on a switch with my kids and reclined a bit more. It is really comfortable this way too. Overall no complaints. It seems to be a good compromise between a cheap office chair and a really expensive office or gaming chair.
