N-GEN GAMING Chair Brings High Back Support and a Footrest for Just $80

Most people shopping for a desk chair in this price range are not looking for a racing bucket or a showroom piece. They want something that holds them up through a long evening of games or a full day of work, and the N-GEN GAMING high-back does that job for about $80. Amazon lists the all-black model around $79.95, down from a list price near $89.

The seat height can be adjusted to your liking using a strong SGS-certified gas lift, and the back can recline from a straight 90 degrees to 135 degrees. The linkage armrests move in time with the backrest, keeping your elbows cradled against your back rather than swinging loose in mid-air. You can even add a separate neck cushion and lumbar cushion, which you can position exactly where you wish. That manner, the pressure on your shoulders and lower back is kept at a minimum, even after long periods of sitting, which is what causes a cheap chair to break down.

Dimensions are 27.5 inches deep, 24.5 inches wide, and 46.5 inches tall, with a seat depth and backrest breadth of roughly 21 inches. That size accommodates a wide range of adults without swallowing a small room. When you want to raise your legs, the retractable footrest pulls out from behind the seat and then tucks back in. When combined with the recline feature, this chair can be transformed into an extremely comfortable area to game or binge watch without having to get up and move to the sofa.

The seat and back are packed with high-density foam for maximum comfort, and the PU leather is easily cleaned with a moist cloth. Furthermore, the entire thing is held together by a robust steel frame and a five-star nylon base with casters that can support up to 300 pounds without difficulty, and at only 37.5 pounds, it’s easy to transport.

Swiveling is a complete 360 degrees, so you don’t have to get up just to reach something across the room. Putting it all together is straightforward; simply attach the base plate, casters, cushions, head rest, and screw kit that are included in the box. Most individuals can get it all set up in within an hour, and then it’s just a matter of adjusting the seat height and cushion placement for a week or so until your back stops complaining.

Now, it’s worth noting that the foam will most likely compress over time, and the PU leather may develop some wrinkles or wear, which is normal for a chair in this price range. For anyone who needs a comfortable place to game, work at a computer, or do both and wants to save money on the screen and desk, the N-GEN GAMING seat provides the fundamentals and not much more.
