The X-Chair X-Tech is incredibly pricey, but it’s also incredibly comfortable and offers great build quality.
The right desk chair can make a huge difference in your day-to-day work life. While I occasionally use my standing desk to actually stand, the majority of my work time is still spent in my desk chair, and as I’ve started to experience back problems, good support and proper posture have become increasingly important. The X-Chair X-Tech is designed to be the ultimate desk chair for those who value adjustability, comfort, and proper support.
The chair certainly isn’t cheap though, starting at an eye-watering $1,915. That said, while it’s pricey, many will be willing to pay the money for something that lives up to the claims of truly offering superior comfort and support. So, does it? I’ve been using the chair for a while now to find out.
X-Chair X-Tech review: Design
The X-Chair X-Tech definitely looks and feels like a high-end chair, with a design that immediately stands out thanks to its premium materials. It has a solid, well-built design, and certainly feels durable. The chair is highly adjustable and customizable too—but I’ll get into that a little later.
The chair comes with an optional “Elemax” back massager, which also has heating and cooling in it. I skipped it, as my experience with a similar feature on a previous chair left me a little unimpressed over long-term use, and I never really turned it on. Assembly for the X-Tech was straightforward and took around 10 minutes, thanks to the detailed and helpful instructions.
The chair features a wide, 22-inch base which has a contoured M-Foam cushion, finished in what X-Chair refers to as its “Brisa Soft Touch fabric.” While this is technically a faux leather, it’s quite convincing in both look and feel, and it offers good breathability.
