I been intrested in gettin a good chair for a while now,seeing a lot of these on discount on TWO has swayed me.

Im undecied if i should get one of the ones with just fabric,or one of the ones with Fabric and PU leather.

Can some1 with some knowledge chime in one what would be more comfortable ect?

Gonna order before TWO ends and they go back up in price.

The two im looking at

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £373.08
(includes shipping: £23.10)

cheers :)
 
I'm in the market for a new chair as well and can't decide.

For what it's worth, fabric might seem obviously worse except when you realise that it gets a lot less sweaty if you spend a lot of time at your computer.

It also depends what clothes you wear. Some clothes don't deal so well with leather.
 
First ones closest to the Formula I still use and have owned for over 2 years without any issues now.

Comfy for long sessions aslong as you get up and have a stretch every now and again.
 
Decided on the Black one with fabric/leather combo

Although my free shipping seems bugged :( Posted in CS section to see if they can manually re-activate it tomoz.Seems to have affected a lot of users on the forums :D

Cant actually afford to buy it today without the free shipping (£15 shipping!)
 
So i finnally got my Dx yesterday,after many probs getting my order properly processed last week(New site issues) ended switching to a different variant as TWO had changed,got a straight up black fabric/PU one.


Packaging and build quality is great,it weighs a tonne and feels extremely solid,apart from the armrests,they have a little bit of wobble,buts its not too bad and appears to be normal from what i can tell.

Cushioning seemed a little stiff out the box,even after one day it feels a little softer going to take a week or so to break in i think.Im only 5'8ft and fit in it quite snugglely,people any taller should probily be looking at a different model or their head will not rest proerly on the headrest unless they slouch.

At least now i can get some good posture and sit upright! was always slouching forward badly in my old Ikea malkom lol
 
Hi MrMd,

How was your experience putting the chair together? I've just recently gone through 2 from the new company Vertagear because they've been physically impossible to put together (screwing the seat brackets onto the back rest), and really hoping that one of the gaming chair manufacturers has better quality control!
 
It was pretty simple,took me about 30mins to do.

Screwing the backrest was the hardest part obviously,it would have been easier with a second person to help do however.When fixing the backrest screws it helps to apply downward pressure on the backrest as you align it with the reclining mechanism and so that the holes line up perfectly to fit the screws.
 
Cheers for the reply :) I literally spent a combined total of 3 hours across two separate Vertagear SL4000s (6 man hours total because it was 2 of us!).
Can't trust the company anymore so will have to see whether DX or AK is best I suppose!
 
if it's up to me i would decide of if you get hot/sweaty while gaming/working then get a fabric if not get PU as the fabric would stain even if you're careful but that just my thoughts
