AKRacing Overture Gaming Chair Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2017-01-08

Before using this gaming chair from AKRacing, we have only worked with standard office chairs and we were really curious why these types of chairs are so much adopted by gamers, Twitch streamers YouTube vloggers and many more. Well, after checking out the Overture we could say that the added comfort is not a marketing gimmick but quite real and it can be enjoyed during gaming but also when doing lots of work on the computer from home. The design of the Overture really stands out and customers will be really happy to choose from many color schemes in order to match their style.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Nowadays we can spot a ton of peripherals on the market of very good quality which enhance the overall experience when using a computer in both games and productivity applications or simply browsing the Internet. In regular supermarkets, the offer regarding gaming and office chairs is not stellar and we have often found quite a bit of low-cost solutions which have not proven as being comfortable on the long run. AKRacing is one of the well-known gaming chair manufacturers which proposes solutions in order to make your experience when sitting at the computer even more comfortable. One example is their newly-released Overture series, which does ship in multiple color choices: Blue, Green, Indigo, Orange, Red, White, Yellow in order to accommodate the color scheme of your current gaming setup.

 

Our Orange sample has arrived in a quite heavy and big cardboard enclosure (it is not a surprise since the chair has a net weight of 22Kg, while its gross weight is 25Kg):

 

 

 

On the box side, we will be informed about the item code name, dimensions but also the direction the box should be first opened:

 

 

 

AKRacing is informing the customer that we should use other items than blades to open up the enclosure, in order not to damage the internal contents:

 

 

 

After lifting the top cover, we will first get to see the metallic five-star base which is fully wrapped in plastic bubble-bags:

 

 

 

The next layer does include the backrest assembly, also fully wrapped in a transparent plastic bag in order to avoid damages during transit:

 

 

 

Let’s see what we do have in store on the last layer:

 

 

 

Here we will find the seat part of the chair along with a separate cardboard enclosure containing the product bundle, but also a set of pillows:

 

 

 

The next step would be to unseal the accessory box and take a look at what we do have inside:

 

 

 

Here we can spot a Quick Installation Guide, five wheel assemblies, the gas lift, plastic shields, tools for installation but also the base where gas lift will be mounted into:

 

 

 

The Quick Assembly guide is providing us with a method of installation (we may choose to perform some steps in a different order):
