Pros:
  • Professional matte design
  • Ergonomic
  • Simple assembly

  • Slightly noise wheels
  • Armrest adjustment struggles
  • Backrest makes soft noises

Size & Weight

The backrest and seating area are large enough to have some breathing room. The seat area has dimensions of 21.7 x 22” and the whole chair can carry up to 330lbs. 

Materials

The E-WIN uses high-density foam. The chair is also upholstered with high-grade PU leather with a matte finish. The arms are padded and the height adjustment is supported by a Grade-4 gas lift. 

Comfort 

Comfortable and sturdy, the E-WIN is designed to withstand very long gaming hours.

Assembly

The E-WIN has a very easy assembly. Even a 13-year old game will not have a hard time attaching the parts as long as you follow the guidelines. Parts are neatly segregated too. Don’t forget to check out our reviews of the Best Gaming Chairs Under $100 if you’re on a tighter budget.

Best Budget Tall Gaming Chair

Comfortable, chic yet affordable, the Vitesse Gaming Chair sports a sleek black upholstery, and adjustable regions from top to bottom. 

Pros:
  • Affordable
  • Lots of adjustability
  • Professional finish
Cons:
  • Can feel the metal frame
  • Hard assembly

Adjustability

You get to do all sorts of personalization on the Vitesse. It includes smooth reclining action of down to 180 degrees, adjustable armrests, and class-3 gas lift. These are more than what you pay for which makes the Vitesse a solid choice especially if you consider adjustments and calibrations as the primary reasons to buy a gaming chair. 

Size & Weight 

The Vitesse Gaming Chair suits best for average to tall players. Here are the dimensions: The seating area is 14.5 x 21”, the backrest is 22 x 32” and the adjustable seat height is 13.7 – 18.5”

Materials 

The chair is upholstered with PU leather (counting the pillows and padded armrests) and the wheels are finished with pro-PU rubber caster – wheels that feel tact onto the floor with minimal noise. The lift is fitted with class-3 explosive-proof gas lift for that smooth flow whenever you adjust the height. 

Comfort

Vitesse Gaming is very customizable; you can personalize the chair from top to bottom. Satisfied users claim that the Vitesse feels more comfortable than the more expensive HyperX and Secret Lab brands. 

The wheels are quiet, the reclining is smooth and there are no struggles when adjusting the seat height or tilt the armrests. The two pillows are also easily adjustable.

Assembly 

Unfortunately, the assembly takes a while before you understand what is going on. To make it easy for you, you will want to check out YouTube videos for it; fortunately, there are several of those regarding the Vitesse.

Size and Weight

The Tank Series is all about huge numbers. The overall dimensions are 39.76 x 31.50 x 15.75″ and can support up to a heavy 450 lbs. It is big, it is wide and it is ready for the big boys.

Materials

When it comes to materials, the DXRacer Tank Series is heavy duty too. Straying a bit from the usual, the DXRacer Tank Series uses heavy aluminum base, high-density foam and sturdy PU leather. These materials ensure that the gaming chair will not perish for a long time. Just like the name of the chair, it is quite tanky.

Comfort

It may be a bit tough but it’s good enough for large-bodied players. The chair may lack a head and a lumbar pillow but that does not mean the whole seat feels uncomfortable. Generally, the whole build is ergonomic without the need for pillows.

Assembly

It may be big but that does not mean the assembly is hard. Sure, it has lots of parts but putting it altogether is very simple thanks to an easy step-by-step guide and segregated parts.

Best Cheap Gaming Chair

The Homall Gaming Chair has all the fundamentals of a general-purpose gaming chair which you can use for work reasons or for pure gameplay.

Pros:
  • Cheapest in the list
  • Durable materials
  • Ergonomic seating
Cons:
  • Difficult assembly
  • May feel the metal frames
  • Slightly tough pillows

Adjustability 

The Homall is very flexible in terms of adjustability excluding the fixed armrests. You can tilt the backside down to a full 180 degrees, the height adjustment elevates and lowers smoothly and the head pillow is easily adjustable to your tallness.

Size & Weight

The Homall Ergonomic is generally good for players of all heights and sizes but it mostly fits best for the taller players. The seat rest is 19.8 x 20.5”, the back height is 22.5 x 30.5”  and the adjustable seat height is 17.3 – 21.5”

 

Materials 

The upholstery is PU leather, the limb base is hard plastic and rollers are PU wheels.

Comfort 

Ergonomic thanks to roomy seat area and adequate padding.

Assembly

As for its assembly, you may want to take your time on the Homall because the instructions are a bit unclear. We highly suggest looking through Youtube videos instead.

Best Lightweight Tall Gaming Chair

The RESPAWN 110 is lightweight – great for slim but tall players. The whole chair can accommodate up to just 275 lbs but it checks out for the thin gamers. 

 

Pros:
  • Very light
  • Best for slim players
  • Professional design
Cons:
  • Fixed armrests
  • May be a bit too expensive
  • Long shipping time

Adjustability

You can recline the backrest down to 155 degrees and the armrests are fixed but slidable.

Size and Weight

The whole dimension of the RESPAWN 110 is 15 x 22 x 35”. The backrest is long enough for players 6ft and the seating area is adequately broad.

Materials

The RESPAWN 110 uses high-grade PU leather and high-density foam. The whole design looks like a hybrid of an office and racing chair which makes it look very unique.

Comfort

It is fluffy enough to make it a second bed but the star of the show here is the footrest that you can bring up and down depending on how you want to play your games.

Assembly

Easy enough for players who are used to gaming chairs but may take some time for the newbies. However, the manual is easily readable.

What We Would Buy

In the end, the E-WIN Racing Chair is best in overall performance. But if you want something more budgeted but with high value, get the Vitesse Gaming chair or the Homall Ergonomic. Need a large-sized gaming chair, the DXRacer Tank Series will fit your criteria. Need a lightweight gaming chair that feels like feather when sat on? The RESPAWN 110 is a good choice.
