I haven’t sat in a plusher gaming chair than this one – but this affordable GTPlayer model has one drawback

The GTPlayer LR002 is a relatively cheap and cheerful entrant in the gaming chair market. It looks pleasant enough, although the cost-cutting materials mar its appeal somewhat. The all-round plushness, on the other hand, belies its budget nature, making it more comfortable than some premium models. However, the omission of even some basic adjustments, coupled with the low seat height, could spell trouble for taller gamers. You might expect such drawbacks from a budget model, but some similarly priced rivals avoid such sacrifices to functionality. Ultimately, if the LR002 doesn’t feel right for you straight away, there's not much you can do to change it.
