Ok, first off. One really important thing about this chair - if you read nothing else in my review: The side bolsters on the seat? They do not have a metal frame. They are made out of soft foam and will not dig into your legs. Finally someone made a gaming chair with pliable seat bolsters. The same is true of the back bolsters. Thank you Razer!
I purchased this chair for my mom's birthday since she really wanted a nice pink chair. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with it. For comparison: I have a DXRacer King Series, and my brother has an AKRacing Max chair. I also have a Herman Miller Embody chair, for those people who like to complain on the internet about how awful gaming chairs are, so I know what a quality chair feels like.
OK! Of the three gaming chairs, the AKracing max is the widest of the bunch. It has the widest seat, and the widest space between arms. This can be annoying if you want to pull the arms in, since they only adjust like half an inch inwards. That's typic for gaming chairs.
The Razer Enki has a slightly narrower seat than the AKRacing Max. However, it's still quite wide. I believe Razer calls this seat "ultrawide" and I can see it. As I mentioned above, the seat is incredibly comfortable because the 'wings' or 'bolsters' are soft! On my DXRacer, those seat bolsters are shaped by the metal tube frame and covered with a thin layer of foam. THAT DIGS INTO YOUR LEGS AND IS NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL. This design earns gaming chairs a bad reputation lol. It makes sense for the racing car seats that these chairs were styled after, but definitely not one you use at your desk.
Anyway. Yeah. It's soft and squishy. I happen to have a large butt, so I find this chair fantastic. The downside is the arms are not all that far apart. 21.5" from the inside of one arm pole to the other. Plus the On my embody chair they're 24.5" apart! The akracing max has them 23" apart and my dxracer king has them 22" apart.
For my mom that was fine. For myself? I dunno. I was thinking about buying a black one for myself (I really wish they made these in blue!).. but that arm width..
Well, anyway. The back pillow is soft and squishy. The color pink is lovely. Only the edges of the chair are made out of pleather. The center of the seat and back is a microfiber material that feels like neoprene.
Assembly was EASY. SO EASY. Oh my gosh. Dude! I really cannot overstate how easy it was to assemble. The quality is amazing.
Aside from the arm width thing, lemme say this. IF YOU WANT THE AESTHETIC OF A GAMING CHAIR, THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY.
It is true that the chair doesn't have adjustable lumbar support, but it does have a decent amount of that anyway. Like, I'd say it's about as supportive as any other chair you could buy for $200. I mean. I paid 4x the price for my Embody chair and I wouldn't say it was worth 4x for the back support lol.
Also, this chair uses elastic straps to hold the seat up, and has a steel frame inside. Just like any other quality gaming chair I've poked at.
At the retail price, I think it's the cheapest full size gaming chair you can get. Like this has similar dimensions to a secretlab titan or XL. Very Comfortable. More importantly, it's available at several retail stores as well as Amazon, so you can try one out in person and return it easily if you want.
Again, I highly recommend it.
