Verdict. The DR500 is Drift's gaming chair aimed above all at taller users: its backrest is high, it supports up to 150 kg and it has 4D armrests, lumbar and neck cushions and a class 4 gas piston. The finish is faux leather, so it breathes less than a fabric or mesh chair, and the recline reaches 135 degrees, enough to lean back but not to lie fully flat. As an affordable, sturdy gaming chair for tall people, it does the job well.

What the community says

Spanish-language reviews place it as a solid, affordable gaming chair especially recommended for tall people, with good support and a sturdy build. The usual criticisms are that the faux leather runs warm, that the chair sits high for users under 1.80 m and that the lumbar is a cushion, not integrated.
