SIMPLY.WOW.
I'm happy to be the first to review this chair! I'm a bigger guy... 6'3, 270 lbs, and have tried a LOT of officer/computer chairs. I have the fortune and misfortune of working and playing from the same seat, usually 10-12 hours a day. I'll caveat this review with the fact that I just received and assembled it, and LOVE the way it feels. There is so much support in the back, and the seat cushion is very comfortable. DXRACER has a two year warranty on parts, so we'll see how the cushion holds up. I'll try to update this periodically.This chair is definitely for the taller (if not so much for the bigger). I have normal sized hips and legs, and I fit comfortably in the seat, but "wider" people may have a tighter fit. Definitely wise to look at the dimensions on the company webpage.The chair took less than 20 minutes to assemble and was packaged better than any chair (or other office furniture) that I've used. The frame for both the back and the seat are constructed very solidly. The back has a removable cover (I found this out because I dropped a washer inside as I was removing the hardware). The hardware comes pre-attached, so needs to be removed prior to assembly, but the instructions tell you this clearly. Everything about this chair screams quality, and based on initial comfort - I can see why these are never in stock.The chair does lock in place, but will not "rock forward". I was wondering why in the world you would want a chair that reclined 170 degrees. The company claims it will rock at this angle. It does. And after leaning it back and putting my feet up on my filing cabinet ... now I know why you would want a chair that reclines 170 degrees. I could easily nap. Very easily. I'm hoping DXRACER comes out with an ottoman in the yellow to match my chair.What you can't see from the description is that the lumbar cushion is actually adjustable. It has elastic straps that run up the back of the chair that allow you to slide it up and down and hold it in place.So.. at first inspection and trial, I will submit that this is by far the best chair I've ever purchased. Time will tell if it's still comfortable in a year, or two years. I have no doubts that the chair material and frame will still be in great condition.

Wish my car had seats this nice!
As a BIG guy (6'2" 340 ish on a good day) chairs are something that I "suffer" with most of the time.THIS chair however has cured that issue for me.It is comfortable (with the addition of a seating pad) easy to adjust and easy to move in.Great for office work OR gaming ...or just relaxing in.The arm rests are adjustable to be longer (front to back) a feature I was not aware of but it is great none the less.The wheels move smoothly over a carpet matt, and fairly well over carpeting.It is EASY to assemble with CLEAR instructions.My only issues are SMALL "Detail" type complaints that are more "personal tastes" than real complaints.The neck rest/pillow sits too low for my 6'2" frame I am debating on removing it permanently as it wont adjust to where I need it.The back rest is ok , just wish the adjustments were a bit more "on the fly" rather than the elastic bands they have.Seat base (where your butt is) is overly hard for a guy my size, I ended up putting an additional pad on the bottom to add comfort to my tail bone.The arms aren't adjustable high enough for me, I need another 2-3" added for them to be perfect.The PRO'S FAR outweigh the petty cons though.Good STURDY chair.Handles heavy guys no issue (up to 400lbs.)Looks great (even in YELLOW)Adjustable enough for taller folks with some small issues in comfortSo happy I spent the extra money for this GREAT chair

The Zero is a Plus One to me
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.
