Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My criteria were as follows:
- Had to be cloth. I have 2 cats that *destroy* leather and PLU.
- Had to be comfortable for long periods of time. I'd be sitting in the chair for up to 10-ish hours on any given day for the foreseeable future between office work and gaming.
- Had to be ergonomically adjustable to my comfort level. I'm a control freak and need to be able to adjust the height, back angle, and arm rests. That last one can be a pain to find at a decent price.
- Had to be affordable enough that my wife wouldn't be angry. See above for conflicting priorities re: arm rests.
This chair ticked all the boxes, based on reviews, so I bought it. I've been using the chair for 2 weeks now and I'm very pleased with my decision.
(EDIT: I've now been using the chair for ~3 months and it's still great. Read on, dear Amazon customer.)
~~~Material/Build~~~
The cloth fabric on the chair is quite nice. The chair comes out of the box feeling quite sturdy and in the 2 weeks since has held up fairly well. The foam is a nice balance of firm to support and soft to comfort. My rear has not been sore sitting in the chair yet, and I've done a 12-hour day or two in it. It's so far retained its shape (2 weeks is *not* a valid testing period for this; if it was already losing its shape I'd be livid).
(Update - 3 months in all is still fine. Shape has retained nicely, I've pulled more 12-hour days in it and have yet to have issues)
The cats have explored the chair but I have not yet seen them try to claw into it. I pray this good behavior lasts, though I know in my heart of hearts it's only a matter of time. The chair does hold onto cat hair, so be advised that if you want a perfectly clean chair you'll need to keep a lint roller nearby.
I have only 2 complaints about the build quality:
1) The plastic pieces that guard the joints for the back are cheap looking & feeling, and I'm confident they'll be the first pieces to break.
2) The arm rests can be a little wobbly. The mechanism to change the angle and the forward distance is simply moving them - there are no buttons for those dimensions. It takes enough force that you won't be accidentally shifting forward and back, but the downside of that is that there's a little wobble in resting positions. It's easily looked past in my experience.
Looks-wise, I got the black chair and it is sleeeeeeeeek. There are only a few logos on it, there are no gaudy bright cushions; I can be in this chair on a webcam and not feel self-conscious that someone is judging my professionalism. That said, my wife's first impression was "whoa, talk about your typical James Bond villain." So there's that.
~~~Comfort~~~
I'll be totally honest, the chair took a day or two to get used to. I had been using fairly flimsy/cheap chairs with little to no support. This chair sits similarly to a car seat, which makes sense given its "racing roots." The seat sort of hugs your thighs, and there are metal supports within that part. If you have wider thighs, I'd recommend looking into the wider version of the chair. For reference, I'm a 6'0, 220lb man.
This chair comes with adjustable/removable lumbar and head pillows, which I immediately put to the side thinking "I'll never actually use these." Boy, golly was I wrong. Within the first couple of days I had found my groove on ways to sit while working or gaming and those pillows are *clutch*. The lumbar one especially has improved my sitting posture and comfort level.
The back has about 90 degrees to play around with, and locks into place about every 10 degrees or so. I tend to hover in the 20 degree range for working and the 40-50 degree range for gaming. Both are comfortable. I've tried leaning all the way back and decided I would not opt to do that again without proper support structures in place. YMMV.
~~~Value~~~
The cost was apparently within bounds of acceptable per my wife.
I've sat in several-hundred dollar office chairs (>$500). This contends with those on comfort and build quality, for the most part.
I've sat in several-thousand dollar sitting chairs. This isn't going to be a revolutionary experience for you if you've been sitting in chairs that have an extra 0 in the price tag.
For what I paid for this chair, I would 100% recommend it on a value basis.
For those of you searching relentlessly for a decent-quality, not-exorbitantly-high priced chair for long gaming sessions or your home office, I'd definitely recommend it.
Like many before me and I am sure continuing on I turned to Amazon for my search. Of course, there are hundreds to choose from. As I looked, I realized that a very large number of the chairs or “Brand” they all appeared to be the same chair many using the same 3 or 4 images that looked identical but their prices were also different.
And after the first three long sessions I decided to reduce my search to chairs that were not “PU-Leather” which you can look up and see that is really vinyl – hot and sticky but long lasting. Not wanting to spend all day hot and sticky, I decided to look for a chair that was fabric covered and one that had a lift cylinder that supported more than 200 lbs. Many of the few I found fell into ridiculous price ranges, some over 3 digits.
I should explain that among my various employment forays I worked for an automotive after market seat manufacturer. Where craftsmanship and good manufacturing processes were prized and required to meet DOT standards. I at one time purchased leather and matching vinyl (PU-Leather), and fabric and everything else needed to be produce the seats.
At the end of a nearly 10 day search I discovered a seat that was not a knock-off of one of the other 1000 or so gaming chairs found on Amazon AK racing appeared the best bet for me and the price a little more than an office chair you will find at office supply stores. It is fabric covered, has a 300 lb. lift cylinder, and to my surprise was professionally manufactured. The fabric was stretched and “hog ringed” to the chair not stapled to a wooden and cardboard base.
The chair is very comfortable to spend 8 hours a day 5 days a week sitting in. One caution the seat is narrow, 13-1/2 inches, and the thigh supports are also narrow at 15-1/2 inches and I just fit. Keep in mind this is a gaming chair and the target population for it is probably not a 220 lb. male.
Top reviews from other countries
Seat is super comfy, the foam the use it top notch quality.
Back adjustment is like a car seat (I love it).
Also, Ak Racing is a race car seat manufacturer, so they will not let you down, they got a reputation to maintain.
If you are looking for an affordable yet high quality gaming/office chair, then look no further!
Do not cheap out and buy one of these $250-$300 chairs and end up with them breaking on you within 4 months (happened to me), just go with company and quality.
P.s. there is a 5 year warranty on the chair itself, and 10 years on the steel frame.
