Assembly
The illustrated user's manual is for the assembly of both the S300 and the S300 EX. Every step of the procedure is displayed in detail, along with warnings regarding the use of the chair and its ergonomics. If one follows the numbered instructions, assembly will be straightforward. However, a second pair of hands is useful if you want to save yourself at least a quarter of an hour.
General Impression
Given high-end gaming chairs may cost even more than €700, the S300 EX is a medium budget gaming chair. That said, it is well-manufactured, with an elegant appearance and good details. Above all, though, it is comfortable. What is more, the neck cushion was quite the surprise since it is filled with a special kind of foam that makes it really soft and feather-like.
The black cover is always a safe and classic choice, and the inferno red stripes and matching stitching make all the difference. An embroidered inferno red flame on the backrest makes for an impressive first glimpse. The soft PU pleather cover, 135 kg (297.62 lbs) weight capacity and price tag also make for an enticing offer.
The S300 EX is also certified with a DIN EN 1335 German office chair certification, which gives German companies the "green light" to use this chair in their offices. Not many "gaming" chairs can obtain this certification, which makes it a pro for the S300 Series.
