Unbox and Assemble - DXRacer AIR Mesh Gaming Chair D7200

Started my work-from-home life on 1 April 2021 without a home office. 

Tried the sofa, the bed, the sofa bed, high table-top by the kitchen both on the high chair and standing on my feet, and of course the dining table, but still don't find a spot at home that I can work productively.

So I started to transform one half of my store room into a home office, started by deploying my long-forgotten budget study table and borrowed a low-back office chair from my sister for the setup.

Things work almost perfectly until I broke the chair arm while adjusting my sitting position after 6 months, and broke the back of the chair in the middle of back stretching, almost fell on the floor with back of my head landed first few weeks after the first incident.

No other choice, I started to look for a new chair for my home office. La-z-boy has always been my dream chair but it just won't work as working equipment, so looked into the range of gaming chair and found that gaming chairs are made of either leather, faux leather or fabric. 

Avoid fabrics at all cost is one of the rules I set for myself ever since I get to decide what furniture to buy, experience with those kind of bulky headphones is a reminder not to get faux leather, and the last option, and I know genuine leather is either hard to find or will cost me RM20,000+ for an office chair.

So I dragged for a month doing more and more research on different brand and range of gaming chairs and ergonomic office chairs, I even watched through the guides on how to choose an office chair as well as the difference between gaming chair and office chair on https://www.youtube.com/user/btodTV.

I was so close to made up my mind to settle on a middle-low price mesh high back ergonomic office chair, then I discovered DXRacer AIR Mesh Gaming Chair -- A gaming chair, with mesh material. Of course the price range is within my budget.

I searched online for the brand and model to find that they have 2 Malaysian distributors, and they don't sell the color I wants on Shopee or Lazada. I might need to call them up or visit their showroom to find out more.

Of course a procrastinator like me will not take action immediately, so I start dragging again. One day, I had a long video conference sitting on my sofa bed and when I stand to walk, I kneeled on the floor as like I received some sort of message from the top (of course it's actually just numb leg due to the bad sitting position for long hour) and I know I must get out and get that chair!

So I made a quick call to one of the disti, happened that they have one last unit of white & cyan that I wanted, take a quick break from work to get to the showroom to bring back this beauty in a huge box.

The instruction manual is really brief, it's not too complicated to put everything together, but I can't help having a feeling that I might have did something wrong with the installation.

Sitting on the chair, it is as comfortable as it is promised, just that my super short work-from-home pants which I also wear to bed exposed part of my thighs to the mesh surface and the touch is not so welcomed. I'll have to start wearing proper pants working from home on this chair.

I like to cross my legs on the chair, I believe that's how I broke the last chair. When I cross my legs on this chair and lower the back to sleeping position, I fell with the chair again. No injuries because the back of the chair is really high, and the materials is proven firm because I don't see a scratch to the back of the chair that fell on the floor with my weight on it. 

Anyway, that's improper use of the chair that caused the incident. If I wanted to switch to sleeping position, I need to make sure that I have my feet on the floor to balance the chair. I won't complaint that this is a design flaws, there's no design that can go against physics.

In overall, it's a 4/5 star for this chair, everything is great except that I need to wear a longer pants to sit comfortably.
