Manufacturer’s product description
The Dowinx Luxury Series LS‑66D89D is a high-quality gaming and office chair that immediately catches the eye with its elegant retro design made of ultra-soft faux leather. The ergonomic padding with high-density foam is particularly impressive, ensuring noticeable comfort even during longer periods of sitting. The adjustable backrest (90°–165°), pull-out footrest and integrated rocking function offer flexible usage options – whether for working, gaming or relaxing. Thanks to the good breathability of the cover, the chair remains comfortable even in warmer temperatures.
However,we found that assembly is somewhat complicated and the tools supplied are not of a particularly high quality. The footrest is relatively small and does not offer optimal support for every user.
Nevertheless, the chair impresses overall with its versatile functions and stylish design – especially for the price.
Advantages
- Breathable
- Backrest adjustable from 90° to 165° plus 20° rocking function
- Soft retro faux leather
Disadvantages
- Elaborate construction

The Dowinx Luxury Series LS‑66D89D makes a very positive impression when unpacked. Even the packaging is carefully designed: the chair is delivered in a sturdy shipping box that keeps the parts securely separated and protects them from damage during transport. The individual components – seat, backrest, castors and frame – are packed separately in foam sleeves and protective film, which effectively prevents scratches and pressure marks. The box also contains all the necessary tools, such as Allen keys and screws, clearly arranged in a labelled bag. The instructions are clearly structured and illustrated, making assembly intuitive – a sign of well-thought-out packaging logistics and good user-friendliness. Overall, the product appears high-quality and well-designed right out of the box, reflecting a professional and customer-oriented manufacturer.

The Dowinx Luxury Series LS-66D89D impresses from the moment you touch it with its high-quality workmanship and elegant retro design. The PU leather has hardly any chemical smell and feels fresh and pleasant when you sit on it. The stability of the steel frame gives a solid impression and promises durability – even with intensive use. A particularly positive feature is the 360° footrest, which can be flexibly extended and retracted and is ideal for leaning back. The extensive range of features is also impressive: adjustable backrest, rocking function, Allen key and assembly materials in a practical bag.
