CommunityHey sorry guys. We weren't able to figure out a way to get these delivered for any kind of reasonable cost savings. If we find a way to get furniture delivered for a price that makes sense I'll update this poll and let everyone know, but in the mean time I'm going to close this down.
Thanks everyone.
Thanks everyone.
From past experience, I can say that the leap is an excellent chair that reclines beautifully. It's also the least flashy of the lot, but I honestly think need for seat is mostly marketing.
If you get a DX Racer chair make sure it's from DX Racer itself or from one of it's authorized distributors, Need for Seat no longer is ... DX Racer does not offer any warranty on "chairs" purchased from that company and does not guarantee its even authentic.

Is the DX Racer even any good? I feel like its 90% marketing, like the Beats of chairs.

Exactly my thoughts. I keep reading comments that say it's gotta be comfortable because that's how seats are designed in cars, and people tend to spend a lot of time sitting in car seats.
There are a few problems with that, first being most people don't actually have racing seats in their cars, so most car seats aren't of this design.
Sitting in front of a desk is totally different compared to sitting in a car. For one your legs are going to be at a totally different angle, and your hands aren't going to be up on a wheel, or down on a shifter.
And lastly, these aren't Recaro or Corbeau seats. You're literally buying something stylized to look like something else, rather than an actual racing seat on a chair piston with wheels.
Considering the Aeron and Ergohuman are designed to be office chairs, I'd say they're a safer bet than the racing chairs.
Plus this seems akin to products such as an army helmet headset for your PC/Console. Rather gimmicky and not focused on function.

If only the shipping doesn't cost as much as the chair itself...
