This white Efomao chair blends a racing-seat silhouette with executive-chair padding, finished with distinctive XX embroidery. Under the styling it is a big and tall chair rated to 200 kg, with an internal steel frame, a retractable footrest and height-adjustable T-shaped arms. It suits gamers and casual desk users who want a statement chair that can also stretch out for a rest.

In its favour
- Height-adjustable T-shaped armrests help line the arms up with the desk.
- An internal steel frame supports up to 200 kg, according to Efomao.
- Perforated PU leather is stated to resist spills and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Good to know
- The listing quotes both 135° and 150° for maximum recline, so the true figure is unclear.
- Lumbar support is a loose pillow rather than a built-in adjustable pad.
Our take
Design and materials
The high back supports you from the pelvis to the head, and a headrest is built in. The cover is perforated PU leather, which Efomao says improves breathability and resists spills; a damp cloth is all it needs. Beneath it, the seat is a layered build of polyester fibrefill, memory foam and springs on a wooden base, giving a cushioned feel. The backrest is about 64 cm wide.
Arms, lumbar and footrest
The T-shaped armrests adjust in height so they can line up with the desk surface, helping reduce wrist and shoulder strain. Lumbar support comes as a removable plush pillow, which you can place where you want or take away.
The retractable footrest pulls out for a full-body stretch. The recline figure is unclear: the bullet heading says 135 degrees while the text beneath it says up to 150 degrees, so plan on the lower number.
Strength and size
An internal steel frame and heavy-duty wheelbase support up to 200 kg, according to Efomao, and the chair is described as suitable for ten or more hours a day at a desk. Amazon lists a seat height of 51 cm and seat depth of 51 cm. At about 25 kg, it is a heavy chair to carry and assemble. White PU will show marks sooner than black, though it wipes clean easily. The listing does not give a warranty term or gas lift class.
Against other big chairs with footrests
The Efomao PU executive chair has the same 200 kg rating with a deeper 60 cm seat and a tilt tension knob, but fixed arms. The Homracer gaming chair carries a similar load, adds a massage lumbar pillow and reclines to 170 degrees. The racing-style Efomao stands out for its looks and adjustable arm height.
Verdict
Buy the Efomao racing-style chair if you want a bold, padded big and tall chair with a footrest and adjustable arm height. If you want a deeper seat with tilt tension control, the Efomao PU executive chair suits better, and for a near-flat recline with massage, the Homracer gaming chair is the alternative.
