ASUS ROG Destrier: The unboxening

[@CarloAmati-r4i]

The first days you use a new (gaming) chair, everything seems amazing. What can be troublesome is what happens (a few) days after. Let us know if something unexpected comes up!

[@Evigno]

Sure will, Ive been using it in a couple of long sessions now, and so far the only thing I don’t like is how easy the armrests adjusts forward and backwards. I accedentially push them back often.

[@NinbAdam]

@@Evigno have the chair and I too second this issue, there needs to be a way to lock the armrest in place

[@rubenmadrigal7655]

​@@Evignoany other issues come up?

[@Evigno]

@@rubenmadrigal7655 after two-three weeks, sitting hours upon hours in this chair, I still love it. I have forgiven the armrests, just on how much you can adjust them. Its really nice if you either need som change in your shoulders or if you game with controllers. But! The acoustic panel could've been more rigid. Sometimes i fear I will crack it when I pull the chair out. I have another chair I use for music production and everytime I come back to this Im like Aaah, baby. So all In all, happy ass happy customer.

[@CxGreen]

Any update?

[@Pustul]

Thanks for the video! Any sag after almost a year? Is the seat still comfortable to you? I’m not a big fan of mesh seat, they can be very firm despite the mesh.

[@Evigno]

Np! I thought maybe I should make a one year later video, because i feel this chair deserved it, I havent noticed any sag yet. My previous chair made my tailbone hurt only after two hours, this one I can sit all day if I want.

[@mikewu3103]

You should definitely make a 1 year after review, there is not a single video on youtube for that and I really would like to know about it​@@Evigno

[@mike530]

I just ordered one. Looking forward to it!

[@Evigno]

Dude if your ass could kiss you, it would!

[@Vichion]

If you hadn't put the chair in the title I would think you would land on a Herman Miller - Cosm - High back, due to your requirements! I am currently on a chair finding mission also because my butt hurts. 😂 Much love from Sweden!

[@Evigno]

Tack så mycket! I went with this one because Herman Miller has such a unreasonably high pricing comparativly. And we scandinavians can be quite big! (And strong) 😂 Best of luck with "-The chair findening" 🙌

[@Vichion]

​@@Evigno Tomorrow I will call a German company to see if they can order a chair for me which I will then travel down to Germany to get just because I found one I really want, but it's 1000 euro more in Sweden than it is in Germany since the only authorized retailer in Sweden is from Stockholm and take on some of the biggest clients.

[@rodeaglerod2715]

Thanks now Im thinking of buying one just for the mesh actually seems cheaper than other manufacturers for being mesh

[@Evigno]

I just completed a elleven-hour stream, and I could've never done that with my old chair. NO waay.

[@jassassine6973]

I got a laugh out of this content! Glad you found a choice! chair :-).

[@Evigno]

That's great man! A good life is a good ass 🤣

[@crm484]

Thank you for a good video where you really see the chair :) One year after now. How is the mesh now? are you still happy with it? Aprecciate your opinion since it is hard to find good ergo chairs in EU. And this is on sale now :)

[@Evigno]

Yea np I appreciate that :) Im happy with it, the mesh is still good, this chair is like it was a year ago, except for one thing, the armrests forward and backwards, way to easy to move. but that does'nt really bother me seeing i'm sitting still :D

[@crm484]

@@Evigno just got it assembled at home. Its very good, better than expected😁 I dont know if they have made some changes to the arm rests. They move yes, but not as easily I have seen in some videos. Very happy with it.

[@Evigno]

@@crm484 thats great! Gz! Your ass is gonna give you a high five 😄

Great video this has helped me build mine properly thankyou 🔥❤️🥰

Dude! Now I, AND your ass is thankful 😄

[@Bambledamble]

Need a follow up video :O

[@Evigno]

There is a thread on reddit about asus products, I recommend watching that, and If you have any queshh, I will answer.

[@BillHammerschmidt]

$900 usd for a cheap $40 chair mass produced in China? Hows it holding up 7 months later?

[@Evigno]

Hey, so what else is new right? I read that the manufacturing-cost of a Iphone 14 is around $10. Crazy, right? The chair is still the best i've had, and I'm still happy about it. That said, the armrests -back-and-forth- are way too easy to adjust. But that's it though, I've used this baby for countless hours now, and it's still like the day I got it. I saw that Razer also we're launching a ergo chair, companies are catching on.

[@X4O01]

just got this chair and its great, the only thing I'm curious about is seat, is it normal that it moves gently forward and backwards ? like a half of inch ? and it doesn't matter in which position its locked.

[@Evigno]

Really? On its own? There is a lever for the seat to move back and forth but I have had no issues like that. Maybe there is something wrong with the locking mechanism?

[@XASMATV.]

Bro how is it going after 11 months? I'm about to purchase an ergonomic chair for 1st time and I wonder if this is worth for many hours sitting

[@Evigno]

After almost a year, with atleast 1000+ hours, 2-3 a day. It's amazing that this chair has carried my fat ass all theese months. No sign of degradation. No comfort issues. No broken parts. and best of all, no fart smells he-he.

[@Evigno]

@Doctor0Who oh yea when I bought it I was abit heavier than now, about the same as you. But it rated for up to 330lbs (150kg) so you're good. I also considered the herman miller but I opted out since theres no headrest and it's more stuck in active sitting than laidback.

[@piotrnowinski8974]

Hi, are you still using this chair? Are you still as satisfied as in the review? I'm considering buying this model, but I can't find any reviews of use after some time, and considering the warranty is only 12 months, I'm afraid there will be some problems.

[@Evigno]

The chair is still the best i've ever had, and I'm still happy about it. That said, the armrests -back-and-forth- motion are way too easy to adjust, but thats always been the case. I've used this baby for countless hours now, and my butt-bone couldn't be happier.

[@piotrnowinski8974]

Ok, thanks for helping me make the decision :), you confirmed my choice of this chair. Personally, I think this is a chair that stands out and I like its style. Tomorrow I will place the order and wait for my new armchair.@@Evigno

[@mahmutefe4509]

@@piotrnowinski8974 how is it now

[@chimichanga5964]

what do you think about the quality of the mesh? does it feel nice to the touch? do you find the seatpan to be firm?

[@Evigno]

The quality is nice, better than other meshes ive used. If you want to sit there naked you could. The seat is firm and distributes weight evenly, unlike my old chair I had pains in the "tailbone" after a couple of hours. This thing I have'nt felt any discomfort even after twelve hours. The only downside is how jiggly the upper part of the armrest are. Hope this helps.

[@chimichanga5964]

@@Evigno thank you sir 🙏

[@paul2609]

Yo, is it still good 10 months later?

[@Evigno]

Hey, yeah, the condition is the same as it was all thoose months ago, still the best chair I ever owned.

[@Lalin_25]

Hello! After a time the left restarm gains solo slack but i cant find the wey to open and tighten It. If you colud help me I'll be so grateful.

[@Evigno]

Hi Rabo, I consulted the manual, looked for asus factories and unfortunatly I was unable to find a way to open the pads. I assume its the back and forth motion. There is probably a trick to open them that they use in their production. However I did find you the support page, they can send you new armrests or atleast give you some insight on how to open them without breaking them. Im sorry I couldn't be of more help: www.asus.com/support/service-center-location/

[@MusicAlfon]

how is the mesh from the seat after a few months? did it bulge down?

[@Evigno]

No, can’t say I have noticed anything.. maybe a faint fart smell, hehe.. Other than that, the mesh is as new. I probably have thousands of hours in it at this point so its safe to say it's a quality chair. But as I say to all comments, the top part of the armrests, are too easy to adjust back and forth. Other than that, muy bueno!

[@nick711ful]

Hahaha, I think you just made my mind up about buying one.

[@Evigno]

Glad I could help yo ass 😁

[@HiCZoK]

I am thinking about that asus too. Just not sure if it’s big enough for me. I am 270lbs and 6’2 :p

[@Evigno]

I think its just big enough. Im the same height, and if i was taller the headrest would touch my back. Can also go without it though. But the seat wideness is one of the widest out there so that's no prob. If it fits me then you would have no prob

[@tofo8144]

How tall are you? Im 193cm and afraid it might be to small for me

[@Evigno]

I am 190cm, but my ass is so big it gives me additional height almost like a babyseat haha. no i mean, if i sit straight up sometimes i can feel the headrest touching the bottom of my neck-curve or whatever. But keep in mind that the headrest and acoustic panel is optional. I have the back at an slightly tilted angle and its a non-issue in reality. Hope this helps.

[@FunFactOmar]

mine took 3 weeks from amazon :O how did you take 2 hours lol

[@Evigno]

He-he, the magic of editing. It took less than a week to get delivered, but that was through a retailer so it was already kinda close.

hei, er du fornøyd med stolen? jeg vurderte denne eller herman miller men det koster 22k for å få sendt hit

[@Evigno]

Oi det var da vel, jeg var vel heldig med prisen. 9-10 tusen? Uansett så ville jeg ikke brukt 22k på den, det er for mye. Men for 10-12k som er veil. Pris, ja absolutt. Til og med nå etter et halvt års bruk er den vel verdt kjøpet. For det budsjettet hadde jeg gått for en herman miller med headrest mod (eget firma lager hodestøtter til de)

[@kosta1105]

How has it held up after 5 months?

[@kosta1105]

Just bought it prob the best chair I've sat in, tried a aeron etc this beats them all lol

[@Evigno]

No sag, no stink of ass, no breakage. The only thing that could ever bother me is the back and forth on the armrests, its too easy to move them. That said, hell of a chair! If anyone out there finds one for black friday, don’t hesitate.

[@kosta1105]

@@Evigno Ended up paying the full 899 but I think its worth!

[@Evigno]

@@kosta1105 honestly its not bad for full retail, considering the price of other high-ends. I paid about 1k, and i have no regret, my ass still thanks me five months later in the form of love farts.

Too expensive crap for plastic wheels...

@@DKNworld I could see that but I can say that theres no problems with over a year of usage and a fat ass.

[@DKNworld]

Ok, will try, thank you. I have same design PC case. ASUS ROG Hyperion GR701 Brutal weight, but perfect design and aiflow.

[@Evigno]

@@DKNworld that cab is cool with how you can adjust the openings, looks sick. I went for a lian li bigboy whitebuild. But yea, its not a bad chair at all, all i could say thats negative is the armrests, they adjust way too easily.

[@DKNworld]

@@Evigno I always have a problem only with the wheels, it's never steel but alloy and they keep breaking. It's not so much about the weight, but I'm literally rocking chairs 19/7/365. I will try to buy more rubber wheels and I don't think there is anything wrong with this product.

[@Evigno]

@@DKNworld I thought about this when I bought it and made sure it had 150kg support just so it lasts longer overall
