As part of Tempo Storm’s partnership with DXRacer that launched earlier this year, being a member of Tempo Storm, I was eligible to receive a chair. However, I wasn’t really that big of a fan of the Tempo Storm DXRacer chair.

There’s nothing wrong with it itself—it’s just a normal Racing Series chair with Tempo Storm branding—but I am quite peculiar when it comes to my furniture and interior design. In an ideal world, everything I own would be pure white, with black being ok as a secondary accent color and gray being somewhat acceptable, depending on the shade. As you can clearly see, blue is not on that list, and I wasn’t too excited about having a random blue piece of furniture that would not fit in very well with anything else I owned.

DXRacer came to the rescue, and although I had to wait a bit longer than everyone else to get my chair, they honored my special request and provided me with a black chair (though it has red contrast stitching because they were sold out of the all-black). Even better, they let me pick out a full grain leather chair instead of having to settle with polyurethane. That was huge for me, as I’m quite the leather goods enthusiast, and I love having full grain leather furniture so I can watch as the patina forms and tells a story of how it has aged.

You can check out its unique features in the close-up photographs below—it has all the natural pattern inconsistencies you’d expect from real leather, it has red piping along the edges, the seating surface is perforated, and more.
