I've had it a few days now and have been quite pleased with the product. The entire frame, including the base, is made of metal. The leatherette covering is soft and supportive. The cushions are sturdy. They may be a little firm at first, but I can tell I'm gently breaking them in. When I was assembling the chair, I knew it was different. Ordinarily, the seat and the backrest are completely separated, and you have to use the arms to connect both pieces. Not the case with the Drifting. One of the brackets attached to the seat was locked in place, and you're instructed to fit the backrest to it first. It was locked at an angle that ensured the screws didn't crossthread. After tightening all the screws on old chairs, I could still detect wobbliness between the backrest and seat. Not so with the Drifting. It appears to live up to its name. Overall, it is a fantastic product. The price is well worth it.

After 1 years of almost daily use, I can confidently say the C$800 was worth it. The chair has held up wonderfully and still looks just as good as the day I got it. Pros: This chair has everything you could want in an XL chair built for big boys, whether that means tall or wide for you. It has all the bells and whistles, as some would say. The armrests move in every direction to adjust for your comfort. The chair reclines and has solid back support. Even the magnetic head pillow is extremely comfortable, and it sits a little taller than most chairs, which makes it perfect for me. Building this chair was extremely easy, another huge pro. Right out of the box, it feels like you bought a premium item. With the help of a giant instruction poster, I was able to slap it together in less than 10–15 minutes. Cons: The damn thing is way overpriced in my opinion. While I love my chair and it definitely checks all the boxes for me... C$800+ after tax is just too much for a chair. At least for me, I can't justify anyone spending that much on something to sit on, unless you've got money to burn. I mean, you could literally buy a brand new console and a cheap TV for that price… or you can have a chair. The choice is yours. I'd recommend waiting for a sale, unless you just can't. Will you be happy with this chair? Yes, I believe so. Will you hate yourself a little for spending so much on it? Maybe a little. But eventually, you'll forget about the price, and you'll be happy sitting in a very sturdy, comfortable chair. Happy gaming!

This is my second DXRacer and I 've tried chairs from a few different brands, but DXRacer's build quality, easy setup and comfort are still the best. Really happy I came back to them.
