EWin Champion Gaming Chair Review: A Premium Gaming Chair at a Competitive Price

EWin

Gaming chairs tend to be three things: expensive, ugly, and a little bit uncomfortable. But somehow, someway, EWin has managed to break away from the competition with its affordable, comfortable Champion gaming chair.

In the past, I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of energy complaining about how gaming chairs don’t work well as office chairs. To prove my point (to myself, I guess), I decided to use the EWin Champion as a full-time office and gaming chair. At this point, I’ve probably spent over 100 hours with my butt planted in the Champion, and it’s now my dedicated office chair. Even the cat likes it. Go figure.

So, what sets the Champion apart from the rest? Is it the materials? The anime-esque design? The memory foam innards? Well, my love for the Champion began as soon as I opened the box.

The Easiest Assembly Imaginable

Let’s start with a bit of honesty. I love to assemble new toys and furniture, to the point that it’s a bit of a problem. Friends and loved ones shy away when I have a tool in my hand; they’ve learned not to interrupt the manic episode that takes place when my eyes lock on a hunk of loose materials and disorganized screws.

But in the last month, that manic obsession has taken a hit. See, I’ve just moved to a new building, and the assembly-gland in my brain is exhausted from disassembling and reassembling so much stupidly designed furniture. When the EWin Champion chair arrived at my doorstep, I honestly dreaded the thought of dealing with it. I considered swearing off furniture for good, but then will power to slice open the box.

I’m still impressed by how well the box was organized, and by the short 15 or 20 minutes that I spent assembling the EWin Champion chair with an included Allen key.

In the box, the large parts of the chair (the seat and backrest) come mostly pre-assembled, and the smaller pieces are clearly labeled and partitioned into baggies and boxes. At first, I was confused by the small number of bolts and screws that are included in the box, but I quickly realized that most of the screws are pre-installed in the chair’s body, so you don’t have to go looking for them.

Naturally, the chair comes with an instruction manual. I’m happy to say that this manual was written by a creature with a pulse. It’s easy to follow, it’s only one page long, and it doesn’t contain any typos.

The EWin Champion chair also comes with a nifty pair of gloves. This seems a little odd (I assumed that they fell in during the packing process), but they’re included with every EWin gaming chair. Are these gloves for gaming? Are you supposed to wear them while assembling the chair? I have no idea, but I appreciate their existence, I guess.
