Would this be ok for a 5'9 175lb guy? Would one of the others fit me better? Trying to find pictures or videos of people my size in these chairs is difficult..
beardedkgI'm a 5'8" 225lb guy. I'm giving the classic series a shot. If this one had the footrest I would have gotten this one. From what I can tell by reviews the headrest should fit perfectly for my height. Really hoping it does.
BoboLuckI just don't like that headrest because it's built in on the classic :/ this one looks like that but just with a removable one and no leg rest which I don't mind.
beardedkgI definitely agree that the removable headrest is more appealing. I do feel like I'm taking a big risk since there is no where around here to try the chairs out. You going to take a gamble on this one?
BoboLuckI think so. This youtuber grace is 5'7 and seems to fit this fine. I just think this is way more comfortable/spacious than the racing and other one.
BoboLuckFound this from a dxracer rep on reddit.

so the racing would actually be a little taller, so now I have 7 days to contemplate... lol
beardedkgI"m 5'9 230 I was looking at the classic a while back and the dxracer rep on reddit suggest this chair over it, but said the classic would be fine also.
DreadfulYea like I said earlier the only reason I think this one over the classic is that this you can remove the head pillow while the classic has a bump that would probably push your head forward depending how it fits your body. Which did you get @Dreadful?
beardedkgI'm still undecided because of the head pillow on the classic and liking the looks more of the iron. Also because I'm considering just buying a Herman Miller Embody or Aeron instead, but I don't know if I want to give up being able to recline the back. Whatever I finally pick I don't plan on thinking about computer chairs for a long while after.
DreadfulThose are just so expensive. I might get the drift series from their site.. I'm just doing research and trying to decide. The I wish the aeron had a headrest area that's one of the things I want. Goodluck!
beardedkgI'm about the same height/weight (5'10", 165lbs), and I got this Iron Series one from a drop last fall. The lowest height is a bit higher than I'd like. I can set my feet flat on the ground, but only if I'm sitting fairly forward on the chair with good posture (I tend to slouch :-P). Also, I found the shoulder/upper back area a bit narrow due to how the padding on the sides fold in a bit. Overall, it's a nice chair, but I really think it would fit a taller and thinner (compared to me) physique better.
