DXRacer K Series Modular Gaming Chair with Extra Wide Large Backrest, Premium Leather Racing Office Computer Seat Recliner with Ergonomic Headrest and Lumbar Support, Standard, Black & White

UPDATEDI've now own these new "King Series" chairs for 18 months, and the quality was even worse than I thought. Seams on the seat are pulling apart, and the recline angle lock has failed on one of the chairs. The new models were lower rated for weight (now 250 lb. max vs. 275 lb. on the previous versions); I'm roughly 245 so I thought it was good, but clearly not. Give the shoddy manufacturing and the fact these chairs aren't good for even 2 years, this is an absolutely DO NOT BUY.-----In know 3-stars looks like a negative review, but the TL;DR version: This is a good chair, it just isn't as good as the King Series it replaces, and I'm having trouble justifying it's nearly $500 price tag. At $400 or less this would be a 5-star chair, easily. I just think the value has dropped significantly.Quick background: I purchased a blue King Series (OH/KS06/NB) in November 2016 and it has been the finest office/gaming chair I've ever owned. It is showing a little wear after near constant use in my home, and I needed more chairs for the family, so when these K Series models became available, I ordered two new blue ones (OH/D4000/NB) without hesitation. Unfortunately, these K Series chairs do not live up to the expectations of the legendary King Series.The differences:1.) CON: First and foremost, the color. The blue does not look anything like the previous King Series and it looks nothing like the photos on the listing or on DXRacer's website. It is a very muted slate blue, with none of the vibrancy of the previous chair (see attached photo). Very disappointed to see how different these colors are. Do not buy these chairs expecting to match a previous chair's color.2.) CON: The new headrest pillow is a joke. It is roughly half the size of the one included with the King Series. There is no way the new headrest pillow was meant for someone large enough to use this chair. As a workaround, I was able to strap the new lumbar pillow in a way to use it as a headrest pillow, but it's not ideal. I'll probably look for a third-party solution.3.) CON: You can really see where they went cheaper on materials. The previous version had a thick material with a woven texture on the side bolsters on the back (visible in my photo) and below your thighs on the seat, it had 2-color embroidered logos, it had color-matched covers for the star-base... all of these are gone in the new chairs which make the K Series look far more generic by comparison.4.) PRO: The arm rests are the one major improvement in K Series over the older King Series. The new arm rests have the same range of motion as the previous model, but the materials are higher quality. The buttons/levers that control the movement are more solid, and the horizontal rotation now locks in place. I like the more rounded shape of the actual rests, particularly on the inside edges.5.) PRO: I do like the small adjustments to the shape of the seat and the back rest. The seat bolsters are a little flatter which will be more comfortable for heavier folks (don't exactly need aggressive high-G bolstering in an office chair). Also there is now a bit more of a rounded gap between the bottom of the back rest and the seat; it's not much, but I do find it allows me to sit straighter in the chair with a bit more lumbar support than the previous model. None of these are big deals, but I admit they are nice.6.) NEUTRAL: Be aware, this chair is overall a bit taller than the previous model. I found I needed to have the new K Series all the way at it's lowest height setting compared to slightly elevated in my old King Series. I think someone under 6' tall might be a little less comfortable, maybe think about a foot rest or a smaller model chair.Those are the differences. But here's the thing, a lot of the best things have been kept the same. The structural build quality is still just as robust and durable. The chair has excellent adjustability and feels solid at any setting. The casters are world-class. The chair is quiet, smooth, supportive, and extremely comfortable.This is a very good chair, it's just not "King Series successor" good, and that makes the price point hard to swallow.And I personally feel cheated on the color. Frankly, their photos are completely misrepresenting what this chair looks like. DO NOT expect a blue chair.

I received this chair three days ago and didn't get a chance to put it together until the day after I got it - so I only have about two days of use out of it so far.Because I haven't really got to spend a lot of time in it/with it I won't be very detailed, but I'll provide as much as I can.Assembly:This chair was so easy to assemble that I didn't even need to look at the instructions! I did though, of course, go over the instructions (which are also very easy to read and understand) just in case I missed something. What I really liked is that all the screws weren't placed in a bag or some sort of package - they were screwed into the holes of the chair. All of the threaded holes on the chair that the screws went into were perfectly threaded - absolutely no snags or anything. The entire assembly took me maybe 20 minutes - seriously it's stupid how easy this was!First impressions:Incredibly comfortable. Not too firm and not too soft. I am not entirely sure what the material is that covers the chair, but sitting in it shirtless - no stick! (well ok some stick, but hardly any)The arm rests are as close to entirely adjustable as you can get. Move them up and down to a desired height, turn them out, center, or in, and you can even slide them back and forth to the desired position if you need them to go out further.The head pillow is perfect - minus one thing. I feel the stretch band that is attached to it to go around the top of the chair, should be very slightly longer - I felt like I was going to rip it when I was putting it on.The lower back support pillow: I am not a big fan of. So far I have decided to keep it off. It is great though - other chairs that came with these - when you "position" them they usually just end up at the bottom which isn't where I need it, but this one did a very good job at staying where I placed it, but it still wasn't for me.The rocker/spring on the chair is fantastic! Although i have to admit I haven't adjusted it at all, but the default tension is perfect for me so far. The locking mechanism for this isn't like others where you push in the level to raise or lower the seat - instead it is it's own separate lever that you either turn up or down to lock or unlock.The hydraulic lift works exactly as it should. Simple.The back is adjustable as well to the angle it sits at. Also works as it should so far. Works just like a car seat - pull it and lean back to adjust - lean forward and it will spring forward.The base:This is important to me because I don't see this mentioned in the reviews for chairs. The holes that the casters/wheels go into are apart of the base, rather than being welded on or something, which I have seen before and makes for a very weak part of the chair. Base is solid and the casters/wheels move pretty well for being on carpet which is a plus.Overall:Great chair...so far. I couldn't recommend it more, again, so far. After some more time of using it I may come back and edit it to update somethings and maybe be a little more detailed - or maybe it's just absolutely perfect and I won't need to! SO FAR it is worth every penny.
