Finding a premium quality gaming chair for a low price is difficult.
A lot of chairs on the market cost several hundred dollars, and it seems almost impossible to find one at a price that you might expect to see at Walmart.
We know how much of a struggle it can be to sit in a non-gaming tailored chair because you can’t afford an actual gaming chair.
This is why we’re constantly searching for chairs that not only deliver the high-quality you’d expect from a gaming chair but do it at an affordable price.
We think we’ve found another one here which delivers quality for a low price, the GT RACING chair!
Despite its budget price tag, GTRACING Chair does so many things right.
We love the extra features like the rubberized toe grips and the high-quality upholstery. We’re pretty impressed with the level of creativity that was put into the design of this chair. The dual layer features some sections that are a bit grippier than others.
This works pretty well with the ergonomics of the chair, giving it even more of a race feel than you normally would find on budget gaming chairs.
The feature list on GT RACING Chair is as impressive as that of a higher priced one, but how well does it hold up to some hands-on testing?
From GTRACING comes a chair that was built with a racing theme and made with a perfectly balanced budget in mind.
On the outside, it doesn’t look any different than one of those chairs that costs hundreds of dollars, so what gives? Did they cheap out on the inside?
GTRACING is pretty well known in the gaming chair industry for creating chairs that deliver quality on a low budget. This GT RACING Gaming Chair also supports up to 330 pounds and has a highly adjustable backrest to find the best resting position.
We’ve tried a lot of comfortable chairs in the past – along with quite a few uncomfortable ones. While this chair definitely has its quirks when it comes to long term comfort, the overall experience is far from a bad one. I enjoy the snug fit but I don’t feel quite as comfortable while reclining with the pillows in place.
The lumbar and neck cushions are both excellent, but when reclining, they seem to conflict with the chairs ergonomic profile. This usually isn’t a problem with most throw-on pillows, but this cushion requires a lot of fidgeting with to remove and can really detract from the experience.
Quick features cheatsheet
- Multi-functional body design means that this GT RACING Chair can be fitted to different kinds of body shapes and the wide shoulders will custom fit just about anyone. If you’re tall, short, big or skinny, you should be able to enjoy the chair comfortably without issues.
I’m an average-sized person and this chair seems to be perfectly designed to fit my measurements. But with a closer look it’s easy to notice that many of the ergonomic features on this chair are designed to support larger folks. I wouldn’t be able to tell you if it’s a good enough chair for a smaller person, but from what I can tell there aren't any problems on that front.
The comfort template is pretty vanilla, but it’s this property alone that makes it such a good match for a wide variety of body types. - The material used in the frame of GT RACING Gaming Chair is high-durability metal and PVC. The material is super easy to clean if dirt or debris gets onto the chair and the leather used is not only soft but rough at the same time, so you won’t easily rip or puncture the chair.
- The GT RACING Chair has a 1 year warranty included with the purchase, which is limited but the GTRACING crew has always been excellent at answering any of our questions and any concerns we’ve had. Also, assembly instructions were included and they were short.
- Comes with the capability to rock the chair back and forth smoothly without making any noise from the base and you can also lean the backrest back to a comfortable 170 degrees.
If you’re not comfortable with the armrests or where the seat is, you can simply move them up or down at the simple touch of a button, smooth and efficient. - Two pillows which are removable but we’re not sure why you’d ever want to remove them. The headrest and lumbar pillow serve as not only an added comfort feature but help you relax and are far healthier on your back than a chair without these pillows.
GTRacing chair's top 4 benefits
The following benefits are what I'd say are essential to why this chair became such a top seller (especially considering its ridiculously low price):
- Thanks to the ergonomic design, allows everyone of every body type to comfortably enjoy the GT RACING Chair.
- You can completely adjust the armrests to your liking because we know that different people have a different preference on how high they like their armrests to be. Assembly instructions are included although we don’t think they’re necessary because the chair is extremely easy and quick to assemble.
- You can make yourself more comfortable by rocking back and forth and in the GT RACING Gaming Chair some people say that it makes them really sleepy, so it’s great for insomniacs who want to get to bed earlier.
- Equipped with heavy duty castors, so your floor is safe from dangerous marks when rolling around
