    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    gaming chairs

    Anyone have any of those video rocker chairs? Fiance wants to get one and there's one at walmart for 30 dollars, it's the basic one, but we figured we should post and see if anyone has an input on ones that are really good and ones that are really bad.

    This is the walmart one fyi:

    Walmart.com: Video Rocker Black/Silver Mesh Racing Stripe: Kids' & Teen Rooms

    Target has this one, that's more expensive, but has those sound controls in it.:

    Wireless Game Chair - Storm : Target

    That one's on clearance so while it's more expensive we'd be getting a better deal. Though tbh I don't even know if those controls are even worth it.


    If anyone has one of these would be great to hear if they're good or not. Or if someone has a different model/ brand that's good let me know. Really don't want to spend more than 50 bucks for one, btw. Thanks in advance!

    I got 2 of the Walmart ones you listed last year. They aren't identical, but they are very close. Mine are all black.

    The "leather" on them is stitched very poorly, one of the chairs I have to toss out b/c the stitching completely came undone. I don't really use them that often either.

    I find the words 'wireless chair' hilarious when put together like that.

    I was looking for a gaming chair a couple months ago and I ended up buying one of these.
    Brookstone: X-Rocker Home Theater Pedestal Chair
    I didn't want one of the ones that sits right on the ground, because I wanted to sit at a desk. This chair is still a little low so I put a pillow on it, which I think it needed anyways. It's a good chair, just not super comfortable. Just to clarify those two statements, the only problem I have with it being comfortable is along the front of the part where your legs go off. It could use more padding along that area. It's probably not an issue on the pedestal less version where your legs would stick straight out. Otherwise, it's pretty sturdy and I'm not afraid it's going to break. The sound system in it is pretty OK also.

    I think a couple years from now, when I get the room, I'll just go and build my own desk that can fit a recliner.

    thanks for the info.

    also thanks to others for posts, but sadly those chairs are way above our price range. @@

    maybe we'll try the target one and hope for the best.

    Id put the nod to the target one.

    Based on Quixon, sounds like better material and they also fold in half to shove out of the way easier. Just dont get one of the car racing seat knock offs. All said and done though, i bought this one because I could have used a new pc chair too. Best Buy True Seating Vinyl PC Gaming Chair - Gray Customer Ratings & Reviews - Top & Best Rated Products

    Unfortunately, if you're spending less than a couple hundred dollars on a "leather" chair, it's going to end up being a piece of shit very fast.

    I just need to get something fast to stop hearing "I CAN'T FEEL MY BUTT!" from the fiance since he's been playing his laptop on the floor...XD

    We ordered the target one so hopefully it'll be comfy enough for him. :D

    Maybe he's just fishing for ass massages. Could save a bit of money there.

    I have the target one with the handles on the sides... I endorse it, but you're probably going to want to invest in an automan as well if you don't already have one as it makes sitting in the rocker quite a bit more comfortable.
