Coming from a Dinning chair with no back support, to my first old gaming chair that was like $100 (Amazon Knock Off brand Ones) This one you can ABSOUTLEY feel the difference!
I usually have to get out of my old chair because my back is sore from the long gaming sessions I do but from this one? NOT EVEN THERE!
Pros:
So COMFORTABLE! (I could say "Couch On Wheels!")
A lot of Adjustment options for this chair (Back, Hight, Lumbar, Neck Pillow, Armrest ((In and out, and shift from left and right and height as well)))
Cons:
The gas piston Hight is a bit too short for my liking, my old knockoff from amazon did get a lot higher than this one
The instructions are pretty good but it's also for other chairs models, so if you do look a the pics it can confuse you
If you own anything fluffy such as an animal or anything like that it's definitely going to stick to it! (A lint roller would help to maintain this chair clean)
Neutral:
Preferred the wheel leg base Metal, not Plastic

I have always wanted one of these chairs due to watching my favorite YouTubers. Now that I work from home a lot more I needed a chair that would be comfortable for extended periods of time for gaming and work. I finally bought an AK Racing chair and I am not disappointed. The chair is very comfortable, sitting up high and supports your back well. You can make several adjustments to fit your needs. The assembly was easy and easy to follow. The only thing I would suggest is if you are an adult you may want the XL version of the chair. It gives you more room for your hips because it can accommodate a thicker built person.

I love this chair. This has helped with my lower back strain almost immediately. This chair is firm, yet soft enough for the long haul. It was really simple to put together and right out of the box it has that new car smell! There is a review about “poor quality” and the armrests not lining up properly, I can see how this happened after installing the armrests. When you tighten the screws all of the way on the fabric side before the metal side, you will get the armrests to turn in and and touch like the previous reviews did. I tightened the screws on the metal side first, and there was not a problem. However, it’s a great chair, get yourself one.

The most comfortable chair I've owned. Several hours of working in and gaming in. Even fell asleep in it. No back pain. Very easy to put together. I've had several hours in my last one which was all black. Fabric is very durable. No wear and tear marks even after a year of solid use. After i sold it i had bought another one months later because i knew out of all gaming chairs, i had the best use experince with this one and it doesnt disapoint with comfort.

I purchased this chair during the black friday deals that went on last year and after 3 months I have to say that it is comfortable! I'm a Large person (280 lbs+) so the two deciding factors were what is the Rated Weight limit and how wide is the seat. It says 250 is the Max Load but in all actuality it can handle more than that (in my case that is.). The Legs are made of Metal and are solid. So far I have had zero issues when it comes to stability and support. The seat took a little bit of getting use to because it is bucket style seating but after a few months of breaking the seat in I can sit comfortably. My only complaint about the chair is the pillow for the head rest as you have very limited amount of room that you could adjust up or down. However, I do really like the pillow for the lumbar support and that has a really wide range that the height can be adjusted for.
The real question, is this product worth the Full Retail Price? I would say so! The quality certainly does match the price!

The chair is comfortable and sturdy, easily assembled even with one person.
Although I don’t appreciate the height it lacks off the floor. It makes gaming on my adjustable sit/stand desk quite difficult. Had to buy a new stand for my pc so I could lower my desk enough without crushing stuff.

Best chair hands down! Tried 2 other chairs and returned them before I found this one. Great comfort and able to truly recline 180 degrees, which is tough to find. Would not recommend for wide person, as there are cushions on either side the stick up and would be in one’s way. The arms are adjustable as well, but not padded on the top but you could buy that and add. Highly recommend this chair for long gaming runs, will hold up easily. You could crash right there too if too exhausted to get to a bed, lol.

This chair was easy to put together. The chair has fabric instead of PU-leather which I prefer. It is really comfortable and for my height 6'2 perfect!

Fantastic chair. Feels well built and comfortable. Fabric lets it breath well and you dont end up sliding like leather.

Literally the best chair I’ve purchased. Comfortable. Great back support. Good quality material. Easy to build. I’m 31 years old and spend a lot of time sitting down for being on the computer a lot. Other chairs would not help my sciatica AT ALL. This honestly is the chair for me. Thanks!

Nice and comfortable chair. Putting it together was pretty straight forward. All the parts and accessories were included. My only critique would be that I wish the arm rests were padded instead of just plastic. It's by no means a deal breaker and at no point was I uncomfortable but for the price, it would have been nice to have. Also if your a little on the heavier side, you might find the way the seat is shaped at the thigh level to feel a little snug. The cushions on the chair are pretty firm as well. The added attachments for the lumbar and neck support are soft enough. Overall, solid chair with minor gripes. No regrets buying and would recommend it!

This chair seems sturdy. My husband got it for my son’s birthday. He loves it. The chair inclines all the way back to the floor, pretty cool. He says he is comfortable.

The chair is super comfortable. We've had it for a few months now and the seat cushions haven't deformed from use. Assembly was easy. One of the covers for the recliner came broken but the manufacturer was good about getting us a replacement sent out.

The chair is really comfortable and easy to build. Comes with a considerable warranty, but the price is up there. My Best Buy store did not have many options available, but I’m ok with this one. I will say some parts feel cheap (plastic) and other parts are higher quality (metal parts, cushions, arm rests). Aesthetics obviously great. Overall, happy customer.

I’ve been using this chair 40 hours a week since November of 2020. I could not imagine doing my job without it. When finding out I would be working from home I didn’t know what to do when it came to my chair. I was told spend the money on the chair because it’s necessary. People were right by saying that. I love this chair. My body never hurts. I love the lumbar support. Seriously makes all the difference. My only complaint is that it after while the chair gets kinda noisy and makes these clanking sounds when moving around. Still gets 5 stars though all day!
