For years I have been working/gaming on a standard sized office chair (see image below), then I went to Pax East and saw an array of chairs from a variety of manufacturers for office/gaming use. Only 2 specific models stood out to me due to its style, size, features and comfort. I was very happy when 1 of those 2 sent one our way for review:
The first chair ever to come our way to the CCHQ for review is from E-Win Racing this one is part of the E-Win Racing Champion Series Gaming Chairs, so I put this one together and gave it a proper try-out in front of my PC for both CC/UCPN work and day job! Check out the box opening below:
The first thing to take note of is how great looking the chair looks once it is put together (Should take no more than 15 minutes VERY easy!)! I’ve see a few other gaming chairs come with no extra features like a neck/head pillow and lumbar support, this one does! The pillows, like the chair itself, are wrapped in a soft leather case, making it soft to the touch and very comfy.
The back itself is firm and well cushioned and provides wonderful back support in conjunction with the lumbar support pillow and head/neck pillow. The chair allows for a 58 to 155 degree adjustment sitting on top of a Class 4 gas lift piston (holds up to 330 lbs)! If you“re one of those people who basically lives in the chair whether gaming or working, this even works well for a temporary nap-time solution! I did a 12 hour shift on this bad boy and I can attest that it was uber comfortable!
The seat is fantastically cushioned and provides a lot of support for your glutes as the seat is made of a high density memory foam that rests upon a sturdy steel frame. The armrests have four-dimensional adjustments to them, you can move them forward or back, twist the arms to the sides, raise and lower them, and push them in or out for the width. The last one does require an Allen wrench to make it work right, which it does come with.
The bottom of the chair has your 2 levers to adjust the chair how you see fit. The first being the main piston to raise and lower the chair on your right and the second also on the right next to your backside to adjust the recline of the back piece. You also have a tilt-lock and tilt-control mechanism under the chair. The wheels are all plastic attached to a 5-star Wide Aluminum Base, making it roll on carpet, tile, and linoleum with great ease.
As you“ve seen above, the chair does have a lumbar pillow, attached by pushing two of the expanding straps through the bottom then clipping them together by sending the other two through the holes at the top. I enjoy the design because it works fine and you can definitely feel the support. Finally, the color of the chair reviewed is labeled as green, you can snag it in a variety of colors.
E-Win Racing knows how to build a proper gaming chair! The Champion basically does everything that it should do! The great thing about the E-Win Racing Champion Chair is the price, which currently at the time of this review sits at $289, which when compared to other brands is a GREAT Bargain plus you get 10% off with code “Crusaders” on their website.
This is great for casual to hardcore players seeking out one of the best chairs on the market. The chair is well stitched and you can see the overall care in fabrication. I really enjoyed my time using it and I think it“s well worth the cash for ANYONE who want to add some comfort to their jobs/funtime and make you feel like you are truly in the drivers seat!
