TechRadar Verdict
The Boulies Master Rex is a well-made and comfortable gaming chair.
The seat and backrest are plush, while the integrated lumbar support and 4D arms provide plenty of adjustments.
The Master Rex also features built-in lumbar support, which is adjustable for both height and prominence.
I had no such problem when adjusting the armrests on the Master Rex, however.
These are very stable and solidly constructed, yet I still found them comfortable to lean on.
However, these are issues I experience with many gaming chairs.
Worse, however, was the recline mechanism.
I also had similar issues with theBoulies Elite.
The integrated leg rest failed to impress, too.
Despite these niggles, though, the Master Rex was easy to put together on the whole.
If you really want to save money, though, theCorsair TC100 Relaxedis a great pick for budget hunters.
Its stitching also appeared executed to a high standard, while the dark grey finish looked smart and sleek.
Most aspects of the Master Rex seem very well constructed.
The 4Darmrests are another highlight, offering plenty of stability while being easy to operate.
They have a hard-wearing surface yet are still comfortable, and are wide enough to accommodate most forearms.
The Master Rex also includes a leg rest that slides out from underneath the seat.
The Master Rex also comes with integrated lumbar support, so no back cushion is required.
It doesnt attach magnetically either, relying on an elastic strap instead.
Its also pleasingly wide, allowing for various sitting styles.

At least the adjustments they do provide are meaningful.
The recline mechanism of the Master Rex doesnt fare much better in this regard.
The tilt mechanism is a further oddity.
On the other hand, the 4D arm rests on the Master Rex are hard to fault.
The party piece of the Master Rex, though, is the retractable leg rest.
I found this comfortable thanks to the amount of padding it provides.
It can be adjusted for length, depending on how far you pull it out.
There were a few other niggles, though.

We found it comfortable and stylish, although we could tell savings had been made on some parts.
The assembly wasnt the smoothest, either, but its still a good value proposition.

I used it on hard floors and on a large rug, and made every adjustment I could.
