That awesome moment a coworker and friend sends a message and asks if you want a DXRacer chair for free, because of an order mishap. I have wanted to invest in one for a while, and this is awesome!

Just looked them up on the net, those chairs are not cheap. What a sweet deal. Looking forward to the pics.

Very cool coworker/company!
Personally the DX chairs feel and look like cheap Sparkco auto chairs, but for free, sure...

To be fair, 289.00 is kind of cheap if you want a good chair. But a free 289.00 chair is super cheap. How about an unbiased review of the chair since I've been eyeing them and their ilk for awhile now.

Give me time, and I will give you a review :-). Need to get a feel for it first. Currently, I sat in it for less than a minute because of a work engagement.

that dx I feel anymore is buying there name I had one reason I posted here on a opinion on a new chair .. , but still if free I would not look a gift horse in the mouth , but if spending $$ theres now better options . matter of fact it was a chair [dx] that has me never getting ''T'' style arm rests [really wrist rest at best , and I tend to lean hard to the right ] and a seat with some better padding . like here as far as a option for the price points https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLbxFaNp_gI&t=432s but free ?? I cant say I would turn one [a dx even the cheap one ] down [then sell it off and get something with comfort [opinion] . then you maybe the size and body frame that fits in it good ?? its all a matter of personal preference and user opinion anyway on whats best for them I hope you enjoy that dx and for free don't see how you cant [lol]

I wouldn't mind features like that to be honest. Some place to put the headphones and I know we are always drinking something.

It has been almost 2 months now. I received this chair for free, and have been exclusively utilizing it at home. My thoughts: Pro's: Very comfortable Adjustable breathable material (no funky sweat after sitting for a long period of time) great height for me (lumbar support removed) It was free, so that is always a pro. Cons The arm rests seem a little less sturdy than I would like the lumbar support is not adjustable to allow for better seating the headrest pillow is small pet hair gets stuck in the fabric Would I purchase one of these in the future? Absolutely. Many people may hate on these chairs, but as someone that always wants bucket seats in my car, I can see the appeal. For all of those saying "Go get a nice office chair." ok... sure.. but not everyone wants that. My entire station is on carpet, and the last two office chairs I had struggled to move in the carpet. This chair has no issues with sliding to the spot I want to be in. I do plan of removing the carpet and either tiling or laying wood to replace the carpet.. until then, I am stuck on this. Would I have purchased this to begin with? Probably not. I debated it for a while, as they looked comfortable, but I wasn't willing to drop the cash on a chair like this. When I look at office chairs, they look plush and comfy.. the padding on this chair is not plush at all. It is very firm and supportive, and seems like it would last a while. Again, I received this chair under complete and total chance of it being free, so my review of this item may be slightly skewed because of this fact, but I do love how it sits.

Thanks Scarlet.
I keep looking at those types of chairs as a replacement to the one I currently have. Have you tried yours out at full or semi recline? You know those moments where you need to lean back and go "Hmm... how did that happen?"

I can try that tonight. I reclined a few times, but not very far. I feel like I am going to flip over backward anytime I lean back in any reclining chair, and I recently tore some cartilage in my shoulder, so I have been very cautious of doing anything that makes me feel like I am going to tip over, lol.

Well that's what I was wondering about. Does it support you at like a 45 degree recline without going over. Maybe find a test subject. Just don't reveal the potential consequences.
