I love this chair. I bought it because I am teaching remotely and with my previous cheap chair I constantly had back and neck pain while working. It is a very good quality chair and easy to assemble. Very comfortable. My neck and back pain is gone. Good quality materials used. Metal frame and nice design. We bought one for me and one for my husband and we both love this chair.

This chair is absolutely incredible. Easy to build. Firm but soft. Adjustable and ergonomic. Everything you could want in a gaming or office chair.

I am neutral on the chair as far as comfort. It’s solidly built however the chair has built in hip flanges on both sides which aren’t adjustable to my knowledge and when moving the chair around on my vinyl flooring the wheels makes some loud noises. I’m working from home like most people and I have put on some weight since the gyms aren’t open. I feel like I have to sit perfectly in the seat in order not to rub against the flanges which becomes uncomfortable . Maybe if I were my normal weight of 6”0 215 lbs and not 250 lbs the chair would comfortable. I probably will return and look for something more comfortable. BTW the chairs lays virtually all the back if you wanted to take a nap.

My boyfriend loves the chair! It was well packaged. But when I opened it, it had two little rips on the side of the chair. They were minor so all good. It’s very comfortable

I have to say this chair is comfortable, at first it will get some getting used to but it’s worth it. I use it most of the day playing games & doing homework.
Looks really Nice with its Modern Design

I was really looking forward to getting a gaming chair since I got a desk for my computer and mounted my tv to the wall. Wanting to get something nice I went ahead and spent the money on this chair, expecting to be comfortable and have something that looks nice. Opening the box I was already feeling disappointed, the box that contained the parts you need to assemble the chair was torn and looks like it was thrown around. Inspecting the chair I noticed some blemishes and string hanging loose from the top AKRACING. Now I wasn't too bummed about it, but what really got me was the knife hole in the top of the chair. (See attached picture). If it was in a spot not easily noticeable I might have kept the chair, but it is pretty noticeable and depressing. At this point I have taken the chair apart and will be returning it, guess I will just go look at other chairs because this has pretty much ruined my thoughts on Akracing. Good luck everyone.

Omg! So around my house I’m known as Miss Fix-it! Lol
So I put this chair together all by myself and a moment I almost gave up. But I did it!
I love, love, love this chair so much. I’m so happy that I bought it. Plus it really helps my back issues and it’s my favorite color (purple). So happy with my purchase.

The chair is comfortable, looks nice, and was pretty easy to assemble. The armrests are fully adjustable and rotate slightly to either side to accommodate your style of sitting over a keyboard and mouse. The spring for chair tilt is a little tight.
I bought this for my 13-year old to sit in for both his TV/Xbox and his laptop for school and he absolutely loves it.
I bought the black one for myself and my only complaint about the chair is that the wheel post is mounted really far back on the chair bottom. If the wheels are angled just right and/or if you shift your weight to far forward in the chair, it has a tendency to tip over.

The chair was easy to assemble
It’s seems pretty heavy duty and looks like it has quality parts(not cheap)
I weigh 230 and it seems a little tight on the but area but I have big thighs, and it’s not tight enough to feel uncomfortable
But if you are bigger then 230 you may want to invest in the max model it’s wider
This model also has lots a great adjustments to help make you even more comfortable
Back pillow and head pillow make it easier to game for multiple hours as I do :)

I’m a big guy and I needed a chair that can hold up. I didn’t want to spend big money and put off buying this for a long time. I finally bit the bullet and pulled the trigger. I am glad I did and advise you do the same!
The chair is well made and does require some assembly. It goes together very easily. It is very solid and is holding up very well. Since buying this chair my back pain has gone away. I am much more comfortable working for extended periods of time. And my only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner.
So it’s not an “office chair” and is a gaming . I don’t care and I’d buy it again in a heartbeat!

I purchased this chair about a month ago due to getting tired of working from home for the past year using a dining room chair and table. This chair was very easy to assemble and is definitely a huge ergonomic upgrade from what I had been sitting in for the last year. You adjust the height and the position of the arm rests and the chair also reclines at very decent angle so you can lean back as needed. The only con is it would’ve been nice if they included better instructions for positioning the seat cushions that come with the chair. There’s a clip that is included but there are no instructions on how to use it.

The chair is good quality and looks really good. The instructions were very vague so it took some time to decipher and assemble.

I was looking at the reviews online. Definitely lives up to the reviews and has a parts and labor warranty to back it up. That’s something you don’t see in the gaming chair market. I bought this for my son who sits comfortably in it. If you are a little wider like me, get the larger chair. This is still comfortable though and can recline almost 180 degrees. Great buy especially on sale.

My son had been using an office chair which was not holding up. I got this for Christmas. He’s 13 and put it together by himself in no time. He’s very happy with it. I keep finding him asleep with the chair reclined. Lol

I share a gaming space with my daughter so her approval was a must. This chair is comfortable and looks amazing. This is our first ‘gaming’ chair so can only compare this to regular office chairs. While some parts feel and look ‘premium’, I don’t believe it’s worth the regular price for what it’s advertising. We would definitely grab another (for us or a gift) but would depend on the sale price.
