Wirecutter's budget pick is the comfiest cheap chair it tested and adds a footrest and Bluetooth speakers, but it is barely adjustable, the seat is narrow, parts feel cheap, and the warranty is just one year.

Top complaints

  • Barely adjustable, narrow seat

    Wirecutter says the arms are fixed, seat depth doesn't adjust, and testers with wider hips disliked the 19.5-inch seat. Back support gets mixed feedback in Amazon's summary.

  • Cheap pillows, footrest and thin padding

    Wirecutter calls the head and lumbar pillows cheap; most testers couldn't find a good head-pillow position, and the footrest can slide out of its socket. Amazon owners note the seat doesn't provide much cushioning.

  • Faux leather only, 1-year warranty, loosening arm

    Wirecutter warns the polyurethane leather may bother people who run hot, the warranty is one year, and a long-term tester's right armrest has grown wobbly.

What owners love

  • Comfiest chair at its price

    Wirecutter testers ranked it above every other cheap gaming chair; its seat kept legs from getting sore longer than some chairs costing three times as much.

  • Footrest and decent speakers

    Wirecutter says the speakers pair easily and sound decent, and its 4-foot-10 tester called the footrest a game changer. Amazon owners also praise the speakers.

  • Easy to assemble

    Amazon owners say it is easy to assemble with clear instructions and looks like the photos.

Good for
  • Tight budgets (around $140-155)
  • Short users who want a footrest
  • Built-in speakers behind your head

What experts say

  • Wirecutter (NYT): Budget pick: the most comfortable chair at its price with a footrest and speakers, but the least adjustable pick, with cheap parts and a one-year warranty.
