The entire back of the chair is malleable, yet tough mesh that allows air to flow from behind and beneath the chair. The memory foam head pillow with 'Air' written on it attaches to the headrest on a plastic, adjustable track and is kept in place with a plastic stop. The apparatus itself attaches to the back of the chair with four threaded knobs. It's less ostentatious than DX Racer's Gladiator series, for example.įrom the top down, the headrest is completely adjustable, with four different height settings. That could be good or bad depending on your inclinations, but I tend to find it a positive design choice, especially for a home office since it doesn't stand out too much. The Air Mesh sports a somewhat understated design and aside from the headrest and a few other minor flourishes, it more resembles an office chair than a gaming chair. You'll probably need a second person to help you attach the back to the seat, but otherwise, it's a one-person job. Outside of that, it took me about 15 minutes or so to assemble the entire chair. Shipping the Air Mesh with its arms already attached to the back is something I actually prefer over separate packages or bags for parts, but I did spend a few minutes looking through the packaging to make sure I didn't miss anything.

The manual includes instructions for two chair variations, which is a little odd, but once you understand what's going on, it's clear and easy to follow.īesides removing mention of another chair, future iterations should also highlight that some of the needed nuts and bolts are already connected to the chair. With everything out of the box and unwrapped, assembly is quick and easy. On top of that, there's also a sturdy, compartmented box that contains some of the more vulnerable pieces and a handled, two-ended Allen wrench (thank you, thank you for providing a tool with a handle). There are few things worse than spending money on a piece of furniture only to have it arrive damaged. The Air Mesh is safely packaged in a way that mitigates damage during shipping, with each part safely wrapped in plastic wrap and separated from one another with foam. It's something I've talked about before with gaming mice and something worth mentioning again here. Though it may seem unimportant on the surface, good packaging goes a long way.

Or others I've reviewed I wasn't terribly impressed by. Maybe that's because I've had the same chair in my home office (where I've been working for almost two years now) since 2005. DX Racer's Air Mesh gaming chair is bar none the best gaming chair I've ever had. It's so comfortable I want one for every room of my house.
