Most gaming chairs under $200 offer basic features, small dimensions, and 1-year warranties. In 2019, GTRacing Luxury Series chairs were the first to shatter that paradigm. These are big and tall gaming chairs with premium features and a 2-year warranty. Find affordable opulence in this GTRacing Luxury Series review.
For less than $200, GTRacing Luxury chairs pack in a ton of value. All come with 4D armrests, a multifunction tilt-lock, and support for 400 pounds.
The biggest problem with this collection is that they offer too much value for money. Since the first release in late 2019, Luxury Series chairs have been insanely popular.
As a result, Luxury Series gaming chairs sell out fast. Then, they go out of stock for long periods. Luckily, as of May 2021, three Luxury Series chairs are back in stock.
