Shoppers looking for a budget desk chair tend to gravitate toward the GTPLAYER gaming chair, which is currently available for around $89.99 (was $140), but what truly sets apart is that its base and legs are made of sturdy metal, as opposed to most chairs at this price point, which are made of flimsy plastics.
The chair’s seat and back are wrapped in faux leather, with some nice quality foam below that keeps it in shape… for the most part. Of course, it all depends on your body weight and how long you plan to sit there. The armrests are padded and fastened in place, covering the area from elbow to wrist. Don’t anticipate any fancy levers or sliders here; simply a simple, straightforward design that should suffice for most folks looking for a place to rest their arms.

The footrest is a nice addition because the thing stays hidden beneath the front of the seat and pulls out when needed. Not only does it complement the chair’s faux leather, but it also provides a place to rest your feet during long gaming sessions or when you simply need to take a break. The headrest and lumbar pillows are distinct items that come with straps and can be adjusted to accommodate almost anyone, since we all know that we are all shaped differently, and they can be changed or removed as needed. Height adjustment is nice and easy, thanks to the gas lift underneath the seat. Most adults will be able to get comfortable, though if you’re on the taller side you might find it a bit cramped.
The chair’s smooth swivel on its base is a welcome feature that comes in handy when you’re attempting to reach something on the opposite side of the room or switching between displays. If you need to relax, you can recline the chair using a convenient side lever. It won’t topple over on you, so you can truly recline comfortably, and when combined with the extended footrest, it’s the ideal configuration for a little nap.
The seat itself has a reasonable size, about twenty inches across and deep, which should be plenty for most individuals, even during extended gaming sessions or work stretches. When combined with the backrest, it provides enough support for ordinary builds. Users have praised the supplied pillows for reducing neck and lower back pain, the type of hunching that occurs when you stare at a monitor or computer for hours on end.
Even if you aren’t particularly handy, you should be able to assemble the chair in less than an hour. The instructions are relatively straightforward, and the most of the parts fit together fairly quickly. As a bonus, for the current pricing, you receive a slew of extras that you wouldn’t typically find on a chair in this price range, such as the metal base, footrest, and pillows.
