DXRacer Racing Bucket Seat Office Chair X Large DOH/KF00/NY/ZERO Newedge Edition PVC Gaming Chair Computer Chair Executive Chair Ergonomic Rocker with Pillows (Black/Yellow)

New purchaser, and need this chair as my old computer chair his now going through the hard seat, creaking throws of death. For a no-name, big box chair, purchased for $150 I can't complain much about the prior chair, save for the loss of functions over time, and the general slow decrepitude it has exhibited...I am 6'3" and 210lbs, in general, with some weight issues due to medications which I am now off...and the prior chair had to live through that. What I needed was a chair where the back actually goes up behind my head (a major downside of the prior chair), with some lumbar support (slowly dying in the prior chair) and being able to be adjusted without concerns (that is pretty dead in the prior chair). And while I am not wide at the waist, I do have pretty large thighs and broad shoulders that are a 'must have' requirement of any chair I purchase.I was hesitant about dropping significant cash on a chair I couldn't sit in due to my requirements and wanting something sturdy. Standard office chairs just didn't do it for me, and the mesh type left my back feeling itchy...yes that is from a big name, high priced manufacturer and one that I could try out. If I wanted to spend about 2x what I spent for this chair, I would have gone for a 24/7 call center type chair...but I must be able to try it out, first, and the lack of any place to get even the mid-line of office chairs to try out means that it is either big box type chairs or the high end office, but not extreme office chairs. Of gaming chairs, I could find no one that had something I was willing to sit in.Thus I was down to specs. I've looked at DxRacer, their AKRacer name (from what I gather from postings by people from Scandinavia), and Maxnomic, plus a few others. The DxRacer european named chairs come very close in sizing to the US/Canadian branded ones, but lacks this King series. Of the series that looked to be possible, the M, I and K from DxRacer looked to be the major contenders, with one or two Maxnomic lines getting into that ballpark as well. The frustrating part of this sort of shopping was seeing that a somewhat firmer foam was available from Maxnomic and on the M-Series from DxRacer and that meant a bit of decision-making to do. In the end the King Zero series showed to have a slightly wider seat region that looked far more comfortable for my thighs, and even without the firmer foam, my consideration was that I do NOT like chair shopping at big box stores and don't want to be revisiting them often for that purpose. This was the one to get, a King Zero, and as the color choices are limited, and white on black goes with just about any decor, that was that.Delivery was fast. The box, while having the logos and proper designation, wasn't as sturdy as I've gotten for less weighty items, which was made up for a couple layers of foam wrapped around the chair parts. Additional accent and assembly parts, along with hex wrench and instructions (great instructions unlike a lot of other things I get) were in separate boxes on the inside. As there was some pre-warning from other reviewers, I dragged...look you can manage the weight, sure, but when its all inside a large box and shifts slightly, my chances of lifting were nil...it to the door to the deck and got that lovely, headache inducing new vinyl smell that I've gotten from so many new offices that it isn't funny. This smell was trying to be 'new car smell' and like I do with a new car, I let it air out...for the chair on the deck in sunlight, blessed sunlight, where long chain aromatic hydrocarbons start to break down and air can get to the parts. A full day and then cool humid night of that, then another two nights on the patio under the deck for general airing out as the smell was decreasing rapidly. I was able to do a nose count on parts, and all were present and accounted for, with one extra screw, washer and lock washer in case you are missing one or klutz one into the single sock dimension.Construction out on the patio wasn't the most efficient way to do things, but it worked. The casters went into the aluminum base. The pneumatic lifter and its plastic sheath dropped in. The accent pieces pushed on. The seat back had all the screws with washers in their screw holes and the major worry with those is that the fabric isn't tucked around the screw holes and you really have to make sure that as you slowly screw the screw out, that you get the flat washer out from under the fabric...otherwise its in the 'in theory you might be able to get it back, but in fact you're going to the hardware store' zone. Placement of the back onto the seat, itself, is relatively simple and as only one side has the leaning back lock to it (the other just free-follows) that means you get those in first and then get the others on, and you scratch your head about the gap between the uprights being far wider than the seat back (I recommend getting about 3 turns in on the locked side and then getting about that on the free-float, then getting to the half-way on both, then finishing on both). Then you put the attachment plate on the bottom of the seat, which means you need to have something to rest the seat and seat back on upside-down (it wasn't pretty, but a couple of cinder blocks did it for me and did nothing but leave some dust on the material) then align the holes, use the screws with flat washer first, lock washer second and do a 'Z' tightening pattern of a few turns, about half-way, nearly all the way but still hand loose, then tightening with a half turn with the hex wrench on each and then a final snugging down, going from each point on the Z one at a time, which should get nice, even torque applied to all of them. If you are of the Loctite mindset, then something human breakable without heat is necessary, and relatively light so look in that 'purple' range or possibly 'blue'. I wasn't for the chair and will give the manufacturers their chance to show that proper lock washer installment will keep things nice and snug.Next I fed the web straps for the lumbar cushion through the bottom of the chair and then through the two holes at the top, which gives a nice arrangement to shift the cushion and yet still keep it in place. The upper neck or head rest cushion (I use mine for my neck) fits over the upper back of the chair (not through the holes) and has a plastic piece to feed the stretchy fabric through so you can snug it down in back.Seating is adjustable! I really missed that. Normally I keep both feet flat on the floor, but there are times when leaning back really helps to relax muscles. The 'rocker' or basic leaning back is done through the left hand adjuster, and turning the paddle up (with a slight leaning back) releases it, and then you lean forward or back, turning the paddle down and wait for the 'click'. In the up position its a free-rocker, and rocking tension is adjusted through a forward large turn knob. Up and down from the left side control is easy and standard to almost every office chair I have ever encountered. The arm rests may seem pretty far out and can be adjusted via loosening the screws in the seat, sliding base of the arm rest in or out, and then tightening them again. Bottom exterior buttons are for up/down adjustment, bottom interior buttons are for skewing in and out (they have lock positions and are very stiff) and the forward interior buttons are for sliding each armrest forward and back. As I do a lot of typing I find the max height, full extension and single click in ideal for my arrangement.Comfort. Yes it is stiff and the lumbar cushion is a bit over stuffed. The lumbar cushion can be taken apart using the velcro at the top, the cushion extracted and foam of your choice put in! I have some neoprene I would use as a backing and some closed cell foam that should do a great job for a contour style cushion. Still, I'll give the factory stock cushion some time to see if it wears in somewhat. The head cushion is WYSIWYG, no chance to adapt it, but as it isn't going to take a lot of weight it should be fine and feels fine. The vinyl material of the chair doesn't breathe, so be forewarned on that, and its stiff although nowhere near new leather stiff. The foam on the back is good and offers decent back support and is what I'm looking for in that realm. The seat foam slowly conforms to you, then stops and that is that, and if you are finding any problems with circulation, then it is time to adjust the position of the chair, I mean all those positions should offer you something comfortable to work with.PROs- Good construction, high quality materials- Very adjustable to my frame and requirements, and those tend to knock out a lot of chairs that I have tried out- Decent comfort out of the boxCONs- Heavy but if you are getting this chair for the frame, that is baked into the cake- A very few fit and finish issues, particularly with the screw holes, something that a bit of fabric tucking or trimming should have alleviated- That smell, ye gods, that smell requires serious airing out unless you just have to have that 'new car smell' in your houseWas this a good purchase? Provisionally it is yes. In 3 years it is a definite affirmative.The big plus for this chair is that if I ever want it modified, I'll go to a professional automotive upholsterer and get it done in something a bit firmer and with better fabric. They tried for driver seat and just missed the mark. And with just a little work, getting spares shouldn't be an issue, like if I wanted to replace the hydraulic cylinder or casters (fitted stem casters, not screw-in) to finish the look, that should be easily done. Plus if there are any add-ons for racing car seats, they should adapt to this pretty easily. As it is I'm enjoying the ride.

You can tell the chair is of high quality. Very easy to put together. Shipping was fast. The cushioning has a good balance of plush and durability (as far as I can tell this early on).My one problem is that it is advertised as being wide. It is not enough. I paid a decent amount more for the wider version of this chair. It does not help the situation that the side part of the seat cushion flairs up, making it even less wide. I read other reviews of the smaller version of this chair and took note of some saying how small they were. I would double check if you are even remotely on the larger size (I am 5'8", 230 pounds. So I am not small by any means, but I have gotten numerous computer chairs that were advertised as "wider/larger" and had lots of room to spare). I would rate this wider version as normal compared to other chairs.I am not sure how to feel about the arm rests yet. They are of softer plastic. My first assumptions that they are way too hard, but after using it for about an hour, I have not felt my arms being uncomfortable at all. I am also not sure about the levers on the bottom/side of the chair. They seem a bit flimsy to me and I wonder how they are going to hold up.I will update my review after more testing/time has past.

So I read a lot of reviews and researched for a week or so before I decided to buy this chair. I looked at options in similar price ranges or more just to see what I might enjoy. I did not buy this chair because of gaming or endorsements and advertising, I bought it because when I'm at home I sit in my chair above any other furniture in my house, 5 - 8 hours or more a day.I'll start off by saying i'm about 5'6 and 175 lbs and have a 36" waist and my shoulders are about 24" across. This chair has specs for people much larger than me, but I have a fairly wide build (especially in my shoulders), so I wanted to make sure I was comfortable. So I did measurements of my old chair and found the King to be comporable to what I wanted (DXracer posts all the specifications and measurements on all dimensions so that was super helpful).Comfort: Is it comfortable? very comfortable, the first time I sat in it I could tell a noticable difference between my old chair (which was granted 8 years old) and this one, it just felt good to sit in. The arm rests are a little stiff and on the hard side, but I'll get to that later.Customizable: You can adjust this chair to almost any setting you want, My desk sits low and because the arm rests were adjustable, I was still able to get this under my desk by just lowering them, and I brought them in slightly to allow my arms to rest on them comfortably. Since they are a bit more firm, it was fine having them adjusted lower so I dont put as much weight onto them and it eliminates the strain of sitting for long periods of time with my weight on them. And if for whatever reason you simply do not like the arm rests, you can just take them off. The bolts are on the under side of the seat, so removing them doesnt mess with the look or design of the chair, you just simply wont have arm rests. You can also rock the chairBuild: I'm not an expert on any materials or anything, so I apologize in advance I can only describe how it felt putting it together. The build was very smiple and easy, the bolts are included in the sockets already so you know where everything goes. You just take out the bolts and put them back in with the parts. It took me maybe 15 minutes in total. The chair itself is almost entirely metal and it is very heavy at almost 70 lbs. The leather felt very nice and if you do sweat, there is noticably less stick unlike other leathers (there will still be some, but you dont feel like you're glued to the chair).Issues: The chair isn't pefect, and this isn't really a list of issues just some helpful information for people who might also want to purchase it and might have trouble finding the same information (I know I couldn't really find any).-The chair is very hard to rock back, even with the spring adjusted to as loose as you can make it, unless I actually recline the chair slightly, I cant rock it backwards. If you have a larger or heavier build, it might be easier for you.-I'm not very tall, but the chair is slightly taller than my previous one. I find that my feet don't actually touch the ground all the way. Not sure if this is an issue with other versions of the chair.-Again, I am not very tall, this chair does not feel like it is either, my head seats on the top of the chair perfectly fine with maybe 2 or 3 inches of space making it perfect for my height. If you are taller, it might be too short for you.-I don't feel like the lumbar and head cushions are necessary, i think with how much you can adjust the chair you can give yourself great posture without them, I'll keep trying them out, maybe at different settings it might be useful but currently I haven't found them comfortable or necessary.-I also fit perfectly in the seat, I can lift my legs up and cross them if I want to, I think if you have a larger waist you might want to consider another chair.It's a great chair and I recommend it for anyone, I wish it could be cheaper since you're paying 100+ dollars for a larger version of their other chairs, but it's definitely worth it for the comfort.
