A $500 CHAIR?!
5 Stars
A $500 CHAIR?!
UPDATE AFTER 3 YEARS: So here I am 3 years down the road and here is some updated information:PROS:- Even after 3 years of some REALLY solid use. (I'm talking full weight tilts, constant plopping, leaning, falling etc.) is still doesn't creak, squeak or make any noises for that matter. I must say very impressive.- I haven't used the pneumatic cylinder (gas lift) a ton, but it STILL WORKS! If I need a higher chair height the gas lift works just like it did day one (300lbs & 6'9" tall) compared to the barely 2 months of any other chair I've used.- The material and stitching has held up, no rips, holes or tears.- Seat and backrest still remain pretty comfortable to me.- The leaning/laying back still works with no signs of struggle. I actually have disc issues in my back and time to time throw one of them out and become in extreme agony (usually in the lumbar) and did this about 2 years ago and actually couldn't sleep it hurt so bad. It just was not comfortable to lay down or be in my bed and had only slept for 3 hours in 3 days. So I actually decided to sleep in my AKRacing chair since I could get into a position that alleviated pressure on my back. So after some adjustments I found a position I could sleep in, putting EXTREME stress on the chair, I do mean some serious stress. I did this for 3 - 4 nights for 5 - 7 hours to finally get some sleep. The chair had no problem doing it and still stands to this day with no damage or squeaks and creaks. That's a test of durability for sure.- Heat management is good, as stated in the original review it does decent at preventing the dreaded back sweat, or any other kind of sweat. However that isn't to say it's great at it. In the warmer days here in California I will still get some sweat and on hot days it's game over for staying cool as per usual. If I had to give it a 1-10: 1 being those nasty fake leather office chairs, 10 being nothing short of a gaming chair with refrigerated backrest and fans in the seat. It would be a solid 5.- If your significant other wants to sit on your lap or on you I can attest that it will do fine, she sits on my leg or lap and it's sturdy. I actually had a couple friends come over try to WWE RKO me out of the chair and it supported all 3 of us, easily exceeding 600lbs. I obviously wouldn't recommend stacking people on this chair but it's piece of mind AKRacing isn't lying about weight limits.CONS:- I want to start the cons off with something more so to do with the company: at about 1.5 years of use I remember leaning back and hearing something and feeling an "adjustment" and thought maybe it was the backrest lever not being in it's place all the way. But it was actually a crack in the lower/back part of the seat connecting the backrest. It kept getting worse and worse until I basically didn't have a back rest. I contacted AKRacing about this for a warrantied chair or part that failed. They did respond promptly only to tell me that "This was an issue with a specific batch of chairs (which mine was a part of) having a weak point in the connecting part of the seat to back" and "I would promptly be sent a new seat". Okay, great customer service and a replacement as the warranty stated, but if this was KNOWN by AKRacing why wasn't it "recalled" or made aware to the purchasers of these "bad batches". Or heck even an e-mail or something saying it MAY be faulty. Now luckily this weak point didn't result in my flying out of my chair, but really? If it's known and you've already been replacing these "bad batch" chairs like hot cakes, it should be handled before they break leaving the consumer without a chair for weeks. On the bright side I did receive an entire seat portion (arm rests included when I didn't need them) neatly packaged and haven't had an issue since.- The front of the seat where my thighs go is starting to look a bit crushed or saggy. Now I do have muscular and heavy thighs, but I am also under the "weight limit" of 400lbs by 100lbs, so a bit surprising at 1.5 years (account for the new seat replacement) it's showing these signs. Really doesn't alter comfort though.- As stated above I did get a seat replacement after 1.5 years, and both of them seem to have "loose" material on the top portion of the seat (even on arrival of both). I don't know if this is by design but I want to say probably not.- Backrest material looks to look a bit flatter after use, not a really big deal but if you're after pure aesthetics over long term use it does show a bit of wear (doesn't alter comfort though)- Speaking of aesthetics this chair in terms of looks blows your average chair out of the water absolutely. But compared to the "gaming chair" market it's at about an average. I understand that most of these "rebranded" gaming chairs come out of one or two factories in China, but if you look at things like Secretlab they have a much nicer looking chair for about the same money. Embroidery, stitching and material variety go a long way.- The arm rests. Oh boy do I love/hate these things. They're not that comfortable, kind of a hard plastic with a little give. They are also constantly adjusting when I don't want them to whether its knocking them around or leaning on them at an angle, I do wish for a locking mechanism. They're not the most practical thing but are easy to clean and don't wear easily.- The chair base is big, as well as the chair itself. It's sheer presence is large, which means I'm constantly stubbing my toes on the dang thing. Whether it's in the dark or in broad daylight, if it's in a tighter space it's bound to get in the way or injure your feet. It's a small con though because I did buy a massive chair.- It's expensive, like really expensive. I bought mine for nearly $600 and I see the price has fluctuated or come down (at least on Amazon) but my original review rings true, is it worth $600? Or even around the $480? Not really. HOWEVER since this market is saturated and you're again paying the "gaming premium" and want a chair that can handle what you throw at it, this does fit the bill.Overall, I would say an exceptional gaming chair that despite it's cons, I would recommend it to anyone sick and tired of uncomfortable and flimsy office chairs for big and/or tall people. I'm still happy that I spent the money on this chair and I can rely on it in any situation. No more worry of having to source a new chair just to break in a few months, and no more worries it's gonna start making noise or that I have to "baby" it. It's built tough and ready for what I'm gonna throw at it.Original Review below: (still relevant)Yeah, you heard that right, $500 for an office/gaming chair, and that's not even after taxes! Well let me explain....So I originally bought a "Killabee big & tall 8212" gaming chair because I was tired of going through office chairs and wanted something to last. Well that chair didn't quite fit me at 6'9" (2.11 meters or 210 centimeters) and 310lbs (140kg) as the seat was too short and the back rest wasn't up to my head, although comfortable and sturdy it just wasn't cutting it at $250, so I returned it. I saw this one had a longer warranty and a deeper seat which is mainly what I was looking for (plus it was more stylish). And I took the leap.This AKRacing Max chair sets the STANDARD for gaming chairs! This is what a chair of this magnitude should feel and look like. The seat is deep, the backrest is high, the pneumatic cylinder is sturdy, the base is wide, the material is soft, the chair is firm, the customization is versatile, the frame is enormous, the materials are quality, and it looks amazing. (sponsor me AKRacing?) Let's talk about it;WARNING!: [If you are below 6ft tall or not very heavy at all, or both, I might recommend looking at a different chair... You will be swimming in this thing if you’re not bigger/taller than average]It came in a rather large box (of course) and was actually mostly pre-assembled! On the other hand though the instructions were very vague and didn't help, and the metal base that attaches to the seat wasn't marked "front" like the booklet said it was. However if you've assembled a chair or furniture before you can figure it out and it's a breeze from there.The chair weighs quite a bit, so I would assemble the base to the chair (cylinder to seat post) in the desired spot so you don't have to lug this monster at full weight (it's more so awkward than heavy). Or just assemble the whole thing in the desired spot if your space is big enough, it's pretty simple to be honest. It came nicely packaged with nothing flying around in the box which was nice.Right off the bat you can see and feel the disassembled chair’s quality as soon as you open the box. And it certainly doesn't disappoint; When put together I can plop straight down at 310lbs with the gas piston all the way up and the chair doesn't even think twice about budging. Usually there is a ever so slight sink in the gas piston due to it having to support a load, not this one, it doesn't even move in the slightest when sitting down. What a refreshing surprise, considering most pneumatic cylinders don't even last 3 months with someone of my size.This chair is kind of firm, in a good way! The material is soft and comfortable and there is some kind of foam, but the foam is firm and doesn't let you crush it while sitting and create bad posture, the chair holds firm and keeps you from having to awkwardly shift positions or dig into certain parts of the body (such as legs or thighs)The back rest; it comes just shy to the top of my head at 6'9"! This is an absolute shock to me, never have I had a piece of furniture come so close to even the top of my head. On top of it being tall enough for almost any gamer it's wide, so the worry of "spilling" (interesting word choice) out of this chair is unlikely even if you're not stick thin. The headrest pillow is cool and all, sort of useful for me but the lumbar I haven't found a use for yet. Have never been a fan of them especially since they usually cut into sitting room and seat depth I just ditch them just like this one (for now). Needless to say they're good quality. The backrest is surprisingly thin, but still manages to maintain comfort which is nice in terms of space saving and the overall look to it, A+ there.Now to the seat (an important part for me); It's flat, which is great because you don't have the race bucket "wings" which force you to sit in a position that may not be comfortable. Race seats in a car need these to keep you stable at high speeds/turns... Why an office chair even needs these is beyond me. It's also good for people who like to sit wide (with legs more open) or people who sit cross legged in their seat. It is plenty wide/deep enough for me and keeps me comfortable for awhile. The padding at the end is also soft so your thighs shouldn't have problems for long chair sessions.The armrests; well you can turn these inward/outward, up/down, forward/backward, and tilt in/tilt out... What else could you ask for in an armrest? They're plenty high and adjustable and have some soft rubber padding that isn't harsh on the arms. The tilt in/out feature to me is a bit annoying because I always accidentally move them when moving the chair, getting up or something of the sort, they should have a locking mechanism on them. They also sit kind of high even at the lowest setting, so if you have a low desk or a desk with a rollout keyboard it might now go under 100%, that's my only gripe with them though.The material; now let me say this material is amazing. It's soft but firm? It would be easy to clean but is nice to the touch... But the best part by far is how breathable I've noticed it is, like I mentioned earlier I came from trying out a different gaming chair, and have had MANY office chairs and this material is the most comfortable. People have been saying this sort of material isn't the most breathable but I've found it to be fine for me. The last chair (killabee 8212) was insanely hot, and just after 2 hours would have a lot of back sweat, but no back sweat yet in this chair (maybe during the summer) but the material seems very easy to clean. I usually run hotter as a person in general but I've been pretty comfortable in this chair so far, yes my back gets hot sometimes but no sweat yet. The stitching is also nice, very subtle and stylish.Everything underneath; it seems everything important in supporting you is made of metal, extremely refreshing from the cheap plastic office chairs. the left lever lets you tilt lock at any angle which is really cool, even though it's a normal feature on high end chairs its one I'm not used to having. The right lever is your standard up/down gas lift (which by the way is fantastic at supporting my weight) and firmly sits wherever you put it. The solid metal base is your average base but seems extremely sturdy and am not worried in the slightest of it being a weak spot. It seems people were complaining about tipping over when reaching for something? Well I did what they were doing and tried sitting on the VERY edge and tried to reach for something and yes, I felt it start to lift but never went flying. It seems maybe like a careless move there. I also don't feel like I am as heavy as they may be because it was stated they had trouble "getting back up" so maybe that is why. Here's a PRO TIP: Avoid sitting on the edge of a chair leaning at max length to get something. Just roll over to it or get up and get it, yes you might fall. I see the issue though; the base for the chair is set further back and protrudes behind the chair so when you lean back or lay back (with the lever) it can support you directly underneath and you won't tip like that, because that would be much worse trust me. It's certainly not meant to lean forward, but back. Which brings me to the lever on the right hand side that lets your backrest lay back... It's nerve racking at first because the average person knows office chairs don't move like that but it's 100% functional. It goes into a 180 degree position meaning you lay flat! Which feels really weird and still scares me, but the function is there if you want/need it. I don't personally like it cause it feels like I could break the chair or it might give out (which it hasn't and shows no signs of doing so) but I guess it's cool party trick? I recommend locking the chair from leaning before you try this though! I usually just use the lever for adjust how far I lean, not to lay down. The casters on this chair are fine plastic and very big and I don't think you have to worry too much about these giving out. You can always order different ones for pretty cheap on here if you're unhappy with these ones.Everything else; The plastic covers on here are okay nothing special, but the one I received already pre-assembled over the lever was slightly broken (on the inside) there was this plastic tab that broke off and was like so on arrival, but am working on getting AKRacing to send me a new one. Not that big of a deal, the other one was fine. So far their customer service has been "meh" they seem kind of hard to get a hold of and not exactly cordial but maybe that will change.CONCLUSION; This chair is very expensive, in the end it is an office chair and still costs a hefty amount, and you do pay the "gaming equipment" premium for flashy colors and edgy design. But I must say this chair is fantastic and I hope it will last me years and years. Do I think it's WORTH $500? No, but unfortunately that's where it sits right now in price... However does it feel like a $500 chair? Absolutely! You pay for what you get for, a chair that is well built and looks good. One thing that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to me is longevity... And this review is strictly based off of short use of the chair. I will be updating it down the road to report how well it holds up in the long run, so far I'm feeling good about this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's just everything that it says it is! A fantastic chair!

I'm sure the first thing you are wondering is "is this chair worth $500" And my honest opinion is I really won't know until I can be sure that this thing will last and still be great for me 3-5 years down the road. With that being said this chair is absolutely stunning and it looks very very good and I am AMPED about this purchase!

First things first a little bit about myself I am 5'11 350+ pounds (probably closer to 380) my biggest concern honestly was me fitting in the chair and also it supporting me. No problems there the seat is flatter than most "racing style" chairs so I don't feel "squeezed" like I have in the past with some of the dxracer chairs. The bottom part is very comfortable and in the past week I have been fine in 6-10+ hour gaming sessions. Very comfortable. It's adjustable so I have it pretty low and my feet touch the ground, but when I raise it up as high as it can go my feet dangle! Mind you like I said I'm close to 6 feet tall! So I would imagine the chair would be great for taller people as well!

One thing I wanted to speak on is the quality of the chair...the material of the chair, man it looks and feels FANTASTIC it LOOKS and feels like a $500 dollar chair! Now a lot of this will determine on how it holds up (as I've only had the chair for a week now) but I mean oh my goodness the quality of the arms, the wheels, the pillows, everything. Like this thing is premium!

Assembly isn't SUPER clear, but I mean if you've ever put a chair together I mean honestly its pretty simple so I had no problems there, also to note this thing came in a HUUUUUUGE box but it wasn't assembled so it was easy for me to get the pieces up the stairs to my room!

So let me just wrap this up real quick. Honestly as a big guy I was concerned about spending this much on a chair...I hadn't ever heard of AKRacing before and I wasn't sure what the quality was going to be....I had was looking initially at getting a DXRacer chair, but I was concerned about how they would fit me as a big dude. Honestly I saw this one, I liked the look, I liked the price, and I just went with it. If you have some of the same concerns I want this review to put you at ease. This chair is really good, it fits big guys really well, the quality is there, the style is there, and I'm very happy with my purchase!
