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.

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

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

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.
