E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Chair Review
When selecting furniture, I freeze, considering the sheer number of options available. This has become readily apparent in anything gaming-related. Everyday, new peripherals spawn to make gaming a better place for those who spend countless hours at the helm, and when it comes to gaming chairs, that number feels endless with the number of products currently being sold. This is where E-WIN brings out their flagship throne, the E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair. The E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series comes with everything a gamer could need to slog through the hardest of raids, lay back for a nap, and anything in between. First things first, unboxing the E-WIN Champion was an easy experience, and E-WIN has neat packaging that assures each piece will come protected. Most of the parts have already been fully assembled, and E-WIN includes all the pieces and a large set of instructions (including a video) on their website for holding your hand through the assembly process. Normally, when building furniture, I need this to guide me through the process. Luckily, E-WIN is there every step of the way, proving that they, too, can use the Geico commercial made famous by cavemen with their expert instructions. It's that easy. The E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair can be easily assembled with one person, making it a cinch to unbox and play easily. The assembly went as smoothly as possible. None of the screws, tools, or DIY steps had any hiccups during assembly (like lousily threaded bolts that go in diagonally), and once the E-WIN Champion is whole, the user can take the throne. While my initial impression of the E-WIN Champion was in a box, when it is all together, it's clear that E-WIN brought style and comfort to the gaming chair equation. There are inseam diamonds with inlaid red stitching, adding minute details to the upholstery on the chair. My unit was the red and black version, but potential consumers can snag the black with gold lettering version, or the same chair but in what I would call the Player 2 (blue) colourway. E-WIN deserves credit for providing a wider-than-normal seat base so a smaller user can comfortably sit cross-legged without bruising their knees on the armrest. Unlike my previous gaming chair, the E-WIN Champion is a firmer option than plush, and I dig it. There's virtually no collapse inward of the seat cushion when mounting the chair, but it still morphs to the user's body. I had a friend who weighs roughly 350 lbs and is 6'5 to try out the Champion to see if it was true to its name, and it worked as intended. Another win for E-WIN. There are two knobs on either side of the chair to adjust lumbar support. At first, I thought this was just another gimmick to show the E-WIN Champion 'just does something else,' but after using both sides, I get it. The left side knob adjusts lumbar support height, and the right knob adjusts how much curvature there is to force the sitter into good posture. This is another win. I always find myself slumped down into a chair after moments of sitting due to the weight of gravity and life shoving my spine into a broken accordion orientation, and the E-WIN comes as a worried parent would demanding you to straighten up. Lumbar support with hidden adjusters is a game-changing feature. The E-WIN Champion comes with two companion pillows, adding another layer of comfort to sitting. The headrest pillow has a magnet built-in, so it will always stick to the head position of the chair, and there's an included lumbar pillow that floats around the seat area intended to provide even more comfort. The head pillow is a huge addition and feels great when the lumbar support forces your head into the right spot, but the included lumbar pillow is best used as a lap comfort pillow when sitting cross-legged or using the built-in lumbar support. E-WIN added one last thing to put the belt around the waist of their Champion and it's a reclining lever. While all gaming chairs come with lift levers tucked away underneath (the E-WIN Champion is no exception), E-WIN installed a reclining lever (placed on the right-handed side) that can almost lay the user flat just in case a particular raid death march puts you to sleep. Adjusting and returning the recline is equally as simple, with just a tug on the lever to return it to the upright seated position and a pull-and-lean to set it back to a half-lay. Even while laying almost completely horizontal, the E-WIN Champion stubbornly kept its wheels glued to the ground without any lean. E-WIN thought of virtually everything a gaming/office chair could have and just threw it in. There are a few notable shortcomings regarding the E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair. The material on the chair's surface is made with 'innovative materials' that are temperature and pressure-sensitive. This works well, allowing the user to remain dry during the sweatiest gaming affairs. However, the material is not entirely friendly to the skin. I never knew a gaming chair could exist that suggests 'must wear this much clothes to ride.' While wearing shorts (with a 6' inseam), the small area where skin-meets-chair can stick to the surface. Aside from the sticky feel, the levers placed underneath the chair for lifting the seat feel cheap. My last issue (and this could be a problem reserved for me) with the E-WIN Champion is the included magnetized armrest covers. Often, I'll lift my elbow and knock one clean off the chair, slightly rubbing against the underlying plastic. While this is no Iron Throne from Westeros, I usually must be cognizant of where my arms are so I don't rub elbows with the Champion. The E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair is a great upgrade to a user's battle station. It does almost everything a user can require out of a chair and looks good. Features like reclining and lumbar support are innovative and easy to use, while the assembly process is genuinely so easy anyone can do it. The main issue I have with the E-WIN Champion is the seat material, which feels like a small under-sight in the grand scheme of things. All in all, if someone needs an upgrade for their gaming setup, the E-WIN Champion can be a safe upgrade, provided the user has the funds.
