For my day job for the past eight years, I've been sitting on an exercise ball at the office. I do a lot of graphic design, spend a lot of time in front of a computer and the ball's been great. It makes me sit up straight. You can't slouch, I'm always bouncing around, it's a lot of fun. But, another effect of sitting on a ball for years, is regular chairs now really hurt my back when I spend a lot of time in them.

I realize how important it is to select the right chair. I spend a lot of time right here editing the show, researching the show, recording the show, doing some freelance illustration and graphic design. I've been sitting on an old wooden chair, that's not been the best.  So when the fine folks at EWinRacing.com reached out and offered us a chair for review, I jumped at the opportunity! I have found my new podcasting chair! This is a premium, high-end luxury gaming chair. Not only were they nice enough to send me a chair for review, they were also nice enough to give us huge savings for you, our listener.  If you visit EwinRacing.com and use the code JockNerd at checkout, you'll get 25% off EWin Racing Gaming Chairs.

The model that I received is the EWin Knight Series Ergonomic Computer Gaming Office Chair with Pillows. Yes, it comes with pillows, which is a very unique feature!

Assembly

If you've ever assembled any kind of office furniture, you know the most overwhelming part is when you open the box and there's just a whole bunch of generic looking parts. Not so here!  I noticed right away that it's well-packed. There's not too many parts. There's just exactly what you need and you get a sense of the solid construction right away. These are heavy-duty, sturdy chairs. I will admit, I may not be the most mechanically inclined person but, I am very good at following directions. It comes with easy to follow instructions with full color photographs which are very helpful.

It comes with another unique feature I've never seen when assembling stuff, a pair of white installation gloves which is very smart. First of all, you feel cool, you get in the assembling mood when you put them on. There's a lot of pre-installed hex bolts that are greased up. So at the end, my the gloves had a little bit of grease on them and it was great not having to worry about getting your hands dirty.  The chair comes with all the hex bolts, Allen wrenches, everything you need, extra pieces, decorative pieces to cover up the screws. The assembly is not hard at all.  I will admit that I had a little bit of trouble attaching the chair back to the seat, but once you align it up and you get it going, the rest of it is a breeze. Easily done by one person. If you have another person to help for a a couple of steps it helps, but it's not necessary. You can put this whole thing together by yourself. From opening the box to sitting in the chair took me about 40 minutes and I'm a stoner dumbass! That means for a normal person, probably takes about 20 minutes.

The Look

The chair looks super sharp in my office. The design, is great. This model is black with some red trim. There's even red on the wheels and the base and suit my little office perfectly. The design is based on a high-end racing car seat. In fact, one of my guilty pleasures is the TV show "The Voice" on NBC.  These chairs remind me of The Voice chairs the judges sit in spin around if they liked the artists and want them on their team. That's how slick this design is. Sometimes I'll turn on The Voice and take the chair and turn my back to it. If I like the person singing, I'll slowly spin around and imagine that now I have to fight for them to be on my team. Yeah, sometimes I can be lame like that.

Comfort and Features

The chair is made out of PVC leather and it looks really premium. Feels really nice, and is easy to clean. It's just a sharp looking chair. The chair comes with two pillows, which is something you don't really see with a lot of these chairs. There's a little pillow for the headrest that comes with a strap that's adjustable, and then there's a lower lumbar pillow f
