Quick verdict: Ben liked the adjustable lumbar support, smooth recline and wider seat on the X-Chair models he tried. His original X2 cost $1,029 with selected features; current models and prices can differ. The chair is substantial and expensive, and return fees depend on the seller and how it is returned.
Ben’s original experience
I purchased an X2 Executive Task Chair with cooling, heating and massage options for $1,029 at the time of my review. That is a historical price, not a current offer. After years using Herman Miller Aeron chairs as a librarian, I appreciated the X-Chair’s adjustability and preferred its appearance. I’m 6 feet 3 inches tall and over 200 pounds; the wider seat was more comfortable for me than the standard seat.
The Dynamic Variable Lumbar section moved with my back, and I liked how smoothly the recline responded as I rocked back and forth. Later I used an X-Tech Executive with a wide M-Foam seat, which I preferred to the mesh seat I had tried on the X3. Those are personal impressions of specific configurations, not a guarantee that the same setup will suit everyone.
I also tried the 360-degree armrests. I rarely used the full rotation, but liked being able to move and lock the arms in position. Check the adjustment range and options on the exact model you order.
Assembly and original review photos
My chair arrived in a large box, with the parts wrapped and no dents or scratches visible at unboxing. I assembled it in about 20 minutes using the included parts. The seat was the heaviest piece, so getting it inside and positioning it may require help. My assembly experience does not establish today’s delivery times or setup service.

Choosing a configuration
- Seat and fit: Compare width, depth and adjustment range with your body and desk. A wider seat suited me, but the right size varies.
- Upholstery: Mesh and foam feel different. Consider surface feel, airflow and how easy the material is to care for.
- Options: Headrests, upgraded arms, wheels and heat or massage can change the total price. Check what is included with the selected chair.
- Movement: Adjustability helps you find a comfortable position; no chair guarantees pain prevention, and breaks from sitting still matter.
Pricing, returns and warranty

Ask X-Chair which terms apply to your order before buying. Purchases from Yawnder or another retailer may have different policies.
