At present, discounts are only available to Americans.
To browse all Killbee and Von racer chairs, check out our Killabee brand review. That breaks down all chairs in Killabee’s streamlined 2020 lineup. Here are some highlighted specials:
Killabee 8247: 440 pound pro chair
Sale price: $239.99 $299.99
The Killabee 8247 is a big and tall luxury gaming chair. It has a 440-pound weight capacity and fits users between 5’8″ and 6’4″. This chair has rich pro features and some nice extra touches. For one thing, it comes with concave 4D armrests for better support. For another, it also has cooling gel add-ons in the seat and lumbar cushion. What’s more, it also comes with a seat angle tilt-lock like high-end pro chairs.
- Standout features:Â big and tall support for up to 400 pounds.
- Functionality: 4D armrests; recline to 155°; seat angle tilt-lock.
- Extra:Â gel inserts in lumbar pillow.
Buy from Killabee for $239.99 $299.99
The Killabee 8247 is also available on Amazon for $269.99. To learn more, check our Killabee 8247 review.
Killabee 8212 big & tall pro chair
Sale price: $219.99 $259.99
Killabee 8212 chairs support big and tall users with pro-caliber features.
- Pro features: 3D armrests, multifunction tilt-lock, recline to 155°.
- Sizing: 5’8″ to 6’2″ (172-188cm); weight capacity 400 pounds (181 kg)
This chair is a great value, although we see two downsides. The first is the 1-year warranty, which is standard for all Killabee chairs. After a year or two, expect the padding to flatten out as the first sign of deterioration. In comparison, a good-quality chair from Secretlab or AKRacing will last you five years or more. Those brands offer chairs that cost twice the price of the 8212 chair — while guaranteed to last five times as long.
If you have a tight budget or don’t want to make a long commitment, a Killabee 8212 is perfect. It gives you spacious dimensions and pro esports ergonomic features at a great price.
