I wanted a real leather armchair, not one made of imitation leather that doesn't last. This Akracing is perfect, plus the seat is very wide, which is important for me given my size (120kg).

I wanted a real leather armchair, not one made of imitation leather that doesn't last. This Akracing is perfect, plus the seat is very wide, which is important for me given my size (120kg).
When you open the zip of the back cushion, the "leather" of which has the same texture as the rest, you can see on the reverse side that this "leather" is a synthetic material, quite thin by the way, glued to a textile support. This is a trick. If in computing it's difficult to cheat on materials, in other fields it's open bar.
The leather upholstery is certainly of good quality but it has several major flaws starting with the armrests which are loose and reflect the mediocre quality of a made in china chair, to this we must add the cushions which are not well thought out and not at all in place like the lower back cushion which is only held in place by the gravity itself and the headrest which is not at all aesthetic with its black elastic strap so I am very disappointed to have embarked on this investment.I don't recommend it if you're looking for something solid like the Germans and even the French and Spanish do.
The assembly of the chair is very easy the chair is very comfortable knowing that I spend a lot of time in front of my computer every day
In my profession (IT) I use much more expensive chairs but the price/quality ratio of this one is very good. I wanted leather because my previous leatherette chair became (too) quickly a disaster for the whole house, crumbling a little more with each use. I had to take a shower after use because I had so many pieces of upholstery sticking to me.
As far as the Onyx chair is concerned, the build quality is good, the materials are good and the adjustments are easy. One drawback, however, is the cushions.... Not practical but I admit I'm not used to having them. I'll see with time.
Hello
I'm not a first time office chair user, as I've been an intensive user for years in my job.
for me, comfort with a good fit is an essential element
I've been using it for years in my job, so I got a sport chair to try and get a better seat and be as discreet as possible, which is the case
the price is already very correct and with the discount
I've seen even more robust mechanisms, but they are rare and expensive
the metal frame is a delight to assemble, much more qualitative than the bits of plywood with inserts, serving as a seat that I sometimes meet
the price is perfectly justified by comparison
the leather, well it was not essential a good imitation would have been just as interesting
The armrest is not as great as that, it leaves some not very pleasant games
good point:
good value for money
metal frame
firm but comfortable seat
correct ergonomics for the seat with good support
a good finish that suggests durability
the possibility of aesthetically integrating into an office or a workstation
a well-made mechanism
well-made castors that move well even on thick carpet
negative points :
The armrests are multi-adjustable but they are badly placed at the base, too far apart and too far forward to be able to adapt to everyone in the available adjustment ranges
The armrests (again) that leave unpleasant gaps in the assembly
The money spent on the leather would have been better spent on a better mechanism or better designed armrests
The cushions are more of a gimmick than a relevant comfort element
Otherwise it seems very satisfactory, with good value for money
If you want a good seat with an aesthetic not flashy while having a good product it is a recommendable choice
Very nice chair, easy to assemble. The seat is quite hard (which is what I was looking for, so perfect).
The whole thing seems very solid, now it's time to give it time :)
It is a very nice chair, easy to assemble and very hard to sit on, so perfect.
Very satisfied!
As someone who is used to sitting on a seat for a long time, I needed something comfortable to sit on. And this seat does the job, it is comfortable, the leather material is correct, it is a good leather.
The only problem I have is the metal frame, which makes itself heard when the seat is tilted, but otherwise no serious problem!
The AkRacing Onyx Deluxe is a nice leather chair, comfortable if a little wide in the armrests, it would be more suitable for someone more corpulent or wider in the shoulders than me.
The assembly is not a problem for two people, as only the backrest is difficult to hold while bolting it together.
The delivery box is really bulky, and likewise, it's better to have two strong men to take it upstairs.
The head cushion is too thick, and the lumbar cushion has to be replaced every time you change position, it lacks a strap or velcro.
I chose this model for its relative discretion compared to other gamer models because I have to place it in a common room with other furniture.
Easy assembly, good first impression after 15 days. The small head cushion is not useful, the lumbar one is.
The foams are hard, which I hope will make them last a long time... mounted with rollerblade wheels it is a bit high for my 170cm (acceptable if lowered to the max). I think with the original castors it would have been fine, but I really wanted to get rid of the noise on the floor.
