        Excellent

        For my first gamer chair, total success.
        The chair is quality (for now), comfortable and design.

        I wish for a better quality (more robust than this)

        Waterproof for the price.
        Otherwise the quality can be better.
        I don't think you could handle 120kg but for someone who weighs 95KG it's fine!

        Very good product - but not for me

        The chair is of an irreproachable quality, robustness. I found it beautiful (my wife found it ugly :).

        The first time I sat in it I found the projections on the shoulders very annoying. It was less annoying when I leaned back but I didn't have the space for that.

        I would also have liked the chair to be more adjustable in height - but I think the fit is quite within the norm.

        Apart from my "broad shoulders" (just kidding) the chair was very comfortable - but I had to return it for that reason. Next time I'll test a chair in shop (I'll have done if in stock) before buying.

        LDLC was great with the return - very quick refund once the product was returned. Thank you!

        Note: Not easy to dismantle the chair, there are locks to undo - I managed to do one of them (thanks to the YouTube video provided by LDLC) and then I played Tetris to pack.

        A quality seat

        After having assembled my 25kg package myself on 4 floors without a lift (thanks GEODIS) I could appreciate the care with which this seat had been packed and prepared for assembly: no loose screws in a bag, small cloth gloves to avoid damaging the handcuffs, simple instructions, protections everywhere.
        Easy to assemble, the parts seem to be robust, except maybe the covers which only hold with one screw each, especially the one of the backrest lever, the screws don't dig in with the spanner when you force a bit, it's good stuff.
        The seat once mounted is comfortable, stable, it does not squeak at the slightest movement (that's why I avoided the leather version), everything is adjustable.
        If only there were models without wheels with this seat height, but I tried to find them, they are all 10cm less, so I'll settle for this one and hope it lasts. This is the first time I've invested in a gamer chair and I hope to keep it for a long time!

        My back says thank you

        As an old gamer telecommuting from Covid, my old chair had had its day. The offer made me decide and I don't regret it, on the contrary. The chair is very comfortable, the adjustable cushions are a plus. It is robust, the aesthetic is sober. To be confirmed over time.

        Ak racing

        The package was received on time and well packaged. The product is as described, but I will have to see over time if it lives up to its specifications.

        Excellent chair

        I didn't have a good chair, and I wanted something comfortable because I spend so much time in front of my computer. I have to say that I am not disappointed, it's worth the money for a good chair, the fabric is nice, the tilt and the height is easy to adjust, as well as the armrests.
        It's worth the extra money for a good chair, the fabric is nice, the recline and height are easy to adjust, as are the armrests.
        It's worth the money to have a good comfort, and reduce back problems :).
        I would definitely recommend this product :)

        Not bad at all

        The delivery took a bit longer than I thought, but the main thing is that I got the chair.
        We were 2 to assemble it, with a manual without text, just pictures. It took us between 30 and 45 minutes (or 1 hour I don't know) to assemble. The installation of the cushions is not indicated, but we managed to do it.

        - When I'm sitting and leaning back, the wheels at the back are no longer in contact with the floor, which is a bit surprising.
        - The armrests are movable in height and horizontally (up/down and right/left and front/back).
        - The structure seems solid.
        - Relatively comfortable (I took it for teleworking).
        - The backrest tilts well, the lever is a bit hard, but it's new.
        - The colour is the same blue as in the picture.
        - The castors move well on linoleum, but I've seen that they can be replaced with roller castors.

        I would recommend this chair, it is not exactly what I would have liked, but it fulfils a lot of the requirements for working comfortably.

        NB: I read in a review that there was a rocker that worked with a knob, which I have not seen!

        Excellent step-up

        + : Cervical and lumbar support, breathable fabric, very adaptable armrests. Strong metal frame! Comfortable wheels to move around the chair.

        - + : Armrests cannot be moved sideways (towards or away from the body of the seat). Static headrest, too bad.



        IT'S SOOOO NICE AAAAAHHH !!!!!!!!

        Very good quality chair

        I switched from a "classic" office chair to this Akracing chair and my back thanks me. I really needed a good quality office chair as I am a distance learning student and a very big player so I decided to invest!
        I don't regret this investment at all, the chair is really comfortable, the fact that you can extend the seat is a real plus if you play with a controller and like to be in "relax" mode.
        The wheels are quiet but don't glide very well as stated in a comment but personally I don't find this very disturbing.
        I didn't rate it 10/10 because the delivery was horribly long. I ordered the chair when it was not available (it was supposed to be the following week of my order) and I received it a little over a month later.

        Very good quality

        As described. Solid and comfortable. My husband has had the same one but wide model for 1 year and it is as good as new despite heavy use.
        I've had a lot of experience with the balance wheel, but it's not as bad as I thought. And the wheels roll well (on parquet).

        Good chair

        Second Core-Ex chair purchased, not disappointed.
        After two years for the first one, it is still comfortable. The fabric is not too hot (even at 30+ degrees in the summer months).
        The lumbar cushion could be much improved though, the headrest is still useless.
        useless.
        It's also the only chair with armrest adjustments (up/down and right/left and front/back)!

        Easy to assemble.

        Be careful not to tip over!

        The tilting mechanism is extremely rigid, with the loosest possible adjustment, i.e. by unscrewing the knob under the seat all the way, you have to push very hard on your feet to tilt the seat a little. I have other "low-end" chairs and the tilting is effortless! I like to play with my feet on the desk with the seat tilted in relax mode, impossible with this model! I tried the same one in the LDLC shop: very light but still very stiff compared to other cheaper models also on show. I had taken care to look at the reviews, which were all very positive, and did not expect such a disappointment. In addition I don't find it that comfortable, the fabric is a bit scratchy... I am posting this warning, I do not understand how such a defect is possible given the price of the seat, and the number of turns to make with this damn wheel that seems to change nothing ...
        The result is that I retracted my order and asked for a refund, the depot being next to my house I thought I would bring it back myself but unfortunately it's a warehouse forbidden to private individuals, I have to go through the post office and pay the return postage of 35 euros :-(( I received confirmation of my refund but without the postage (chosen at the cheapest in LDLC's shop) which should be refunded to me, I contacted the customer service who told me that it was an error and should therefore receive a 2nd refund...
        I'm not sure how much I'm going to pay for this product, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a refund if I don't.

        Robust and Comfortable

        I was not disappointed with my purchase. The seat is of very good quality and very pleasant to use. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you to the LdLc team for being as good as always.

        Comfortable

        The chair is very easy to assemble. It's my first gamer chair and I don't regret it.
        The delivery was made by the Geodis carrier. The delivery man is nice. I've been using it for a while now, but it's a shame it's only delivered during the week.
        I'm very pleased with the service.

        Wraparound comfort for working.

        I am used to a low-end chair, but I appreciate the enveloping contact of the chair which allows me to rest my entire back, neck and forearms. The assembly is quite easy thanks to the tools and instructions provided. Very good adaptability.

        robust

        Comfortable and adapted to the use of an inveterate gamer: resistant to a quasi permanent presence of 110 kg of movement. Therefore, it is recommended for enthusiasts who don't count their hours of gaming, their vibrations during the same games, or their kCal during breaks.
        We have 2 units in total, one of which has been the most intensively used for 17 months.

        Perfect!

        The seat is very comfortable to sit on.
        The assembly is simple.

        The 3D armrest adjustment is really nice and allows you to find the best possible position :)

        The fabric seems durable and of good quality.

        A real pleasure to sit in this seat!

        Very good product

        I bought this seat a bit blindly because unfortunately there were no seats fitted in the two shops nearest to me...

        I tried an equivalent which convinced me and I don't regret it at all.

        Very good back and neck support!

        Very good value for money

        To buy with eyes closed!!!

        Quality/price ratio

        This seat is excellent, comfortable and very solid, the whole thing is made of metal.

        No faults, except for ordering it with roller wheels which glide better than the standard ones.
        The seat is made of strong fabric and is easy to maintain.

        Excellent value for money.
