This chair is amazing and feels a lot more comfortable than most other gaming chairs. It was definitely worth the extra money and the Softouch Suede adds a softer yet more elegant touch to it (which explains the name). I really love AKRacing for their quality in chairs, this is my fourth one so far for the family (have 2 old nitro models and 1 masters series) and they never disappoint, and do not have any issues after years of use. I don't think I would ever look at any other brand, and for the price, it's the best deal you can get out there. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
