    good value for money

    this chair is easy to assemble and quite comfortable for the price, with plenty of adjustments.

    I'd definitely recommend it!

    Very comfortable

    The delivery was quick and trouble-free.
    The chair is very good, great support and very comfortable.
    I don't use the lumbar cushion or the headrest, which I don't find very useful.

    Medium

    I am honestly rather disappointed with the product, I bought it as a replacement for an older Akracing Gaming chair, which in the end is almost exactly the same model except the dimensions have been reduced and the price is higher but it's in keeping with the times for prices. I find the limitations of other reviews, if you are a bit tall or wide try to prefer a wide model. I've been using it for 2 months now, and I haven't been able to find a good sitting position, lumbar or not. My lower back even hurts, whereas the old gaming chair, with a few centimetres more, was much more comfortable. ah I forgot the 3D armrests, which are a real gimmick, and are not very comfortable, and above all, they move in all directions, if you barely touch them.

    I regret not returning it immediately.

    I'm very happy with the way it looks and the way it feels.

    Insufficiently wide bucket seat

    This seat is a bucket seat, with walls to the left and right of the seat to "cushion" the user.
    I am 1.89m tall and my bottom is too wide for this chair.
    The left and right sides of the seat are painfully tight in my thighs.
    As the bucket seat is supposed to envelop and wedge the user, the walls are supposed to stick to the user and therefore, inevitably, a part of the population has a too big butt.
    Big disappointment.
    I'm going to return it and buy a non-bucket seat.

    Top

    Because of my 95% telecommuting, I needed to have a comfortable chair.
    After an unfortunate experience of buying on the internet (300e for an office chair that arrived a bit broken, of bad quality, etc...) I told myself that there are things you can't buy online without trying.
    So I went to different shops to try out office chairs (some at 1.000e-!!!) but bof bof.
    I ended up expanding on the gamer chairs, and found myself in an LDLC shop.
    In short, a gamer chair is the best. I tried 3-4 of them and this one was fine.
    Back home, ordered on the website and LDLC delivery was top notch as usual.
    The chair comes with white cotton gloves to put it on! Nice attention...
    The only downside but very personal: I find the lumbar cushion too thick for my back.

    Quality product

    Robustly designed seat.
    The backrest is completely flat and does not support the lumbar region. The backrest is completely flat and does not support the lumbar region. A cushion is supplied for this purpose, but it is far too big and not adapted to my body type (1.73m 75kg). The whole thing is correct, I don't regret my purchase.

    very good chair

    Very good quality chair, the assembly is difficult if you follow the paper instructions, knowing that the QR code only refers to the manufacturer's website and not to the instructions.

    For those who would like the link to the manual here it is -> https://fr.akracing.com/pages/assembly-instructions
    The manual is much clearer with the instructions behind it.

    Impeccable

    The chair is easy to use, the assembly is quick (just some components are heavy but otherwise it's fine). A long term investment that starts well.
