Razer Fujin Pro review

pcgamer.com:

Not every gaming chair is a gilded throne with outspoken styling. Take the Razer Fujin Pro, it's a mesh gaming chair that wouldn't be entirely out of place within a beige-washed corpo office. And before you think I'm bashing the Fujin Pro unfairly on its looks—I like it. I really like it.

It'd be a crying shame for this chair to be anything less than great, though. It's priced at $1,049.

Still with me? Let's talk about the great bits about the Fujin Pro before we get to the pricing and competition. 

For starters, it's a breeze to set up. The chair comes disassembled, however, it has few large parts to manoeuvre. The seat is the most unwieldy piece and even then it's easily slotted into the base by yourself. The backrest and arms slot into place and attach with a couple of hex (allen) bolts, but you'll need your own allen key. Lastly, the headrest clamps onto the top of the chair, though I quite like the chair without.

Fabric: Firm, breathable mesh
Lumbar support: built-in, adjustable
Warranty: 5-year for frame, mechanisms, armrests. 3-year for mesh backing and seat pan
Armrests: 4D adjustment

Resting my rump on the chair and it's very firm. It's a different approach to the plush seats found on many leatherette gaming chairs I've tested over the past few years, though it's not uncomfortable. There's not much give to the chair if you lean back into it, and in the default position, you'll sit bolt upright. That's not such a bad thing for office life, though if you're trying to relax into your evening both figuratively and literally, you'll want to take advantage of the multiple adjustment options the chair offers.

Three paddles offer various ways to customise the comfort of the chair. I have to commend Razer on these—usually a small, inconsequential detail, these paddles are actually much nicer to use and more convenient than the wobbly levers you'll find attached to many gaming chairs.
