I'm considering buying one and I'm curious if anyone of you have one. If you do, let me know pros and cons please :wink:

I have heard that the quality is a bit shitty (Maybe just the cheaper models though, got any chance to try it out before u buy?)

Im not sure why that is classed as a gaming chair?
I bought this chair last week http://www.amazon.co.uk/SANTANA-EXECUTIVE-LEATHER-COMPUTER-FURNITURE/dp/B00A3C0UJQ/ref=pd_ybh_14 and its awesome. If you want a real comfy chair then go for it but its a little expensive for my taste.

Hmm, if it's just a comfortable chair you are looking for, i would go for something similar to these lounge chairs, had something similar in shape for many years, and am very satisfied:

NO WHEELS! <-- best for a long and comfortable gaming session imo

And if you want to build a gaming station, i would go after a solid-frame rack/rig type:

Would buy one in a heartbeat, if my wife would allow such a "waste of space" :( Something i am looking forward to when we move, and i have my own gaming/music basement :D

------------------------------------

As for your pick - it seems to be a comfortable chair, but i don't understand the idea behind the wheels... If it's for racing sims - you will have a bad time :) Unless there is a wheel-lock of sorts.
And it's not cheap either - 300 Euro... Hmmm... Have you physically tested/touched the chair yourself?

I gotta jump the bandwagon and say you should go for a chair without wheels. Its better for your back in the long run imo

I never play racing games or simulators and stuff like that. My only game right now is CS GO, obviously for CS you need to stay focused and you can't really lie down while playing.

I saw the video/gif on the page and if you want you can basically lie down in the chair. It looks good for both serious game mode and chill mode 8-)

Money isnt an issue, I was first looking at their M-series, which is 70 euro more. A chair usually last a couple of years too, so a quality chair is max important.

Those arm-relaxing points looks really small. A classic computer work chair with good seating and comfortable arms and leather is boss. Maybe get one without sticky leather though, one of those with the more "clean" texture, not sure what it is called though.

Great chairs can 100% recommend them (the big ones, like the chief chair).

They're sturdy and will hold, if you want an actual good chair that'll last long and don't want to shell out what a Herman Miller chair costs then this is the chair to aim for.

I wanted to post a link (can't find it) to a review where they cut a Dxracer chair in half to show how well it's made versus other chairs, and there really is no other alternative.

Yeah Herman Miller is definitely overkill imo :P I'm most likely going for Chief, Commander or Master
