AKRacing Core Series EX-Wide Gaming Chair with Wide Seat, High and Wide Backrest, Recliner, Swivel, Tilt, Rocker and Seat Height Adjustment Mechanisms with 5/10 warranty - Black/Red

I absolutely LOVE this chair! So much so, that I bought one for home (red/black) and one for the office (all black).I’m a woman who is 5’ 3” and 200 lbs. I had the hardest time finding pictures with people in them for size comparisons, so I’ve included several pictures.I’ve had back pain for years with standard office chairs and was looking for something that was more adjustable and supportive, which led me to looking at gaming chairs. The AKRacing Core EX-Wide fits like a glove, or perhaps a good pair of jeans. No more back pain!The fabric material is well made, and the padding is supportive, but not too firm. It’s got a steel frame and was extremely easy to assemble. I’m not a fan or the leathery type material and this was one of the few chairs I found that had fabric.I’m glad I went with the wider model. Unless you have a thin frame, just go ahead and order the wide – you’ll be thankful you did!The wheels don’t pivot very well on carpet, so I’m considering swapping those out for the roller blade style wheels, but that’s a minor detail.The arms are plenty adjustable and comfortable. They move up/down, forward/back, and angle left/right. The entire unit also has some give towards or away from the chair by adjusting the screws on the underside of the seat.I thought the price was an absolute steal compared to more expensive models and even other higher end office chairs. More than worth the investment.

This chair's quality is way above DXRacer, from the fabric to the metal frame. The 10 years warranty was a big plus for me.Pros:- Solid metal frame (with 10 years warranty)- Good quality and breathable fabric (5 years warranty)- Swivels 180 degrees- you can move freely in the office/battle station and wheels won't scratch your floor- Comfortable (needs to be broken in before it gets comfy).Cons:- For being the EX-Wide version, the bucket seat is not long enough for tall people. It should be at least 22 inches, not 19.- Same with the back rest, it should be at least 35 to 36 inches tall.- Pillows are made of the same material as the chair but it's scratchy when it touches your neck (they get softer over time)- The curve of the lumbar support pillow is too aggressive and takes a long time to be broken in (should be a lower profile pillow).Summary: Overall it's an awesome chair with great quality for the price (I bought a second one for my girlfriend cheaper from best buy) but the pillows should be re-designed including better/softer material and the bucket seat should be a couple of inches deeper (at least for the EX-Wide version).I will update if anything comes up. So far I've been using the chair for about 6 months without any problem.

So i just got it and here is a few notes for you. Ive been researching a good chair to get and ive found this chair as one of my options. First choice was a chair by secretlab. I wanted that one and where i live it was to exspensive to ship. Very disappointed so i settled for this one. I did buy the extra wide one and glad. Im 6'3" at 245 lbs. I work from home and need a chair that i can use all day. So far its ok. It did have a small cut in the cushion and like i said where i live in Alaska im not shipping it back. Ill live with it. Amazon was very helpful about it.Pros: it does come with the pillows. They can be comfortable and also annoying. User choice on that. The extra wide fits me and not much digging in my leg from the sidess. They could be bent outwards just a little more. The armrest are fully adjustable and like that. Seems to be made good and nothing is moving when it shouldnt be. The cushion to me is firm but thats good since to soft can cause back issues. The chair adjustability to go back is nice.Cons: the casters are cheap. Total plastic and they are noisy on hard floors. Ive already upgraded them with some polyurethane casters. Note; the casters are 7/16 stem and not 3/8 as someone mentioned in a post. They are wrong and dont know how to use calipers. The stem is also 7/8 long. In case you would like to replace these. The biggest issue is that i wanted a chair with knee tilt mechanism for the tilting of the chair. Another chair by this company showed it in a picture and guess what. Its not... i dont like the way this chair tilts. Ive already purchased one online to replace this. The shock should fit to it. So im modifying this chair to better suit me since i cant get the one i want. Will update this further as i make these upgrades in case someone would like to do this to yours. Thanks

I bought this in November 2021 for my home office to replace my old generic office chair of several years. I wanted something with some good support, and I like the racing seat aesthetic as a car guy. It was easy to assemble with the provided instructions and it's been very good to my back - good support and comfort. I especially like the fact that it is cloth instead of a faux leather like most gaming chairs. I've found that without spending a lot of cash, the faux leather on gaming chairs doesn't hold up after a few years. The cloth on this is durable and cleans up easy, I don't see any reason why this chair wouldn't last for a number of years of regular use

have had this chair for about 3 months now. Love it! super comfy after you break it in a bit. Larger than most chairs, Hence the ex wide specification. I'm 6'1, 190, and this chair sits me comfortably for hours on end. One little thing i did to make it more comfortable for me was remove the lumbar pillow. I feel like it doesn't allow you to fully sit back in the chair, it pushes you forward a bit, making the part you sit on feel shorter than it is. But to each his own, I liked the lumbar pillow it at first, but now without it I enjoy the chair much more. and the headrest pillow is very comfortable as well. The chair doesn't hold in heat, and doesnt get to cold. just stays at a good temperature.
