How Long do DXRacer Chairs Last

DXRacer gaming chairs are not cheap. You’ll spend 289 dollars at the very least. If you go for the most expensive model, that will set you back nearly 600 dollars. Most people can’t afford to replace an investment like this every few months. It only makes sense that people want to know, how long these chairs last and how quickly wear and tear shows.

We think there are three indicators of a chair’s durability. First, a long lasting chair will be made from quality materials. It will be well constructed with attention to detail. Next, is the warranty. If a company won’t back up their products, it’s difficult to trust they will last. Finally, and most important, is customer experience.

We’ve tried out plenty of DXRacer chairs. Many of our team members own one. We’ve also read reviews from other customers, and gotten feedback from DXRacer chair fans and detractors. We are very familiar with the warranty offered by DXRacer as well. Keep reading to learn more about how long you can expect a DXRacer to last.

Specs And Durability of Materials

Our experience indicates that these chairs are well made and manufactured from quality materials. This is probably because the company began by making actual race car seats. Their choice of materials and manufacturing process is designed for quality and durability. This includes:

PU Leather Vinyl or Race Car Cloth Covers
Aluminum Base
Gas Lift
Adjustable Armrests
Mostly Metal Construction
Cold Molded Foam

The chairs are easy to assemble and the parts fit together perfectly well. Movements such as reclining, lifting the seat, rocking, and tilting forward all work very smoothly. Because of this, there is very little risk of parts wearing down because they don’t fit well or rub against each other. In addition to this, it is possible to buy replacement parts. This means you don’t necessarily have to replace the entire chair if one thing goes wrong.

The DXRacer Warranty

Let’s be realistic. Businesses don’t make money replacing or fixing chairs for free. That’s why most won’t guarantee a chair for any longer than they know they will last. DXRacer appears to be pretty confident in the chairs they sell. They will repair or replace any issues that are related to manufacturer’s defect for a period of two years. On top of this, the metal frame comes with a lifetime warranty. That’s a pretty good indication of durability.

Of course, there are some limits to this. They won’t honor the warranty if you add aftermarket parts from other companies, or attempt to customize the chair yourself. They also won’t cover damage such as wear or tear. You can’t expect them to cover damage by misuse either. For example, it won’t cover spills or tears.

Customer Experience

We’ve gotten feedback on these chairs from our team members as well as enthusiastic gamers from all over the world. Opinions vary on these chairs in terms of comfort and price. However, when it comes to quality and durability, things are pretty unanimous. These chairs hold up very well. People own these for years without issue. Many either resell them later or give them away to friends or family members when they upgrade.

When these chairs do breakdown, it’s usually due to expected wear and tear. Colors fade over time. Armrests get a bit rough from constant handling. Seems begin to loosen up. These are the kinds of things that you would expect to happen to any chair under daily use conditions. One of our team members has had his chair for more than five years. According to him, it is as good as new except for a few scuff marks. These came courtesy of an attempt to move the chair up a set of stairs without an extra set of hands.

Taking Care of Your Chair

Obviously, the better you treat your chair, the longer it will last for you. By staying on top of cleaning and maintenance, you can also be sure your chair will look as nice as possible for a long time.

Assemble your chair properly in the first place.
Keep food and drink away from the chair if at all possible. If not, be careful.
Discourage kids and animals from playing on the chair.
Use a vinyl conditioner if you have the PU leather
Follow any manufacturers instructions about care.
Consider treating fabric chairs with scotch guard or other stain resistant spray.
Clean up spills and other messes right away.
Be careful when moving the chair.
Inspect the chair every so often for damage.

Finally, keep all of your paperwork and receipts in case you have to make a warranty claim. These chairs are expensive enough that you might also consider adding them to your rental or homeowners policy.

There’s no reason a DXRacer chair cannot last for five years, perhaps longer. They are well made and warrantied. Customers seem satisfied with the quality of construction. The company offers a reasonable warranty. With just a bit of care, you should be able to enjoy your DXRacer chair for many years.
