Ok so i've hit a bit of a wall here.

My lad is 13 and wants to buy a new gaming chair out of his birthday money for his PC at my house, now he has a very small budget of £60.00 and he is looking for the car bucket seat style.

Now i will be using it as well so i said i'd chip in to get him something that little bit better up to £120ish total. But all i can find is the chinese plastic ones with terrible reviews that all seem to break or rip or fall to pieces after just months if not weeks of use in some cases!

I think i've answered my own question and you get what you pay for with these chairs! but does anyone have any experience with the "budget" chairs? as i cant stretch to anything more than £120.

If it was up to me i would get an office style high back chair like the recon ones which are linked a lot on here, but thanks to streamers he wants the car style one for cool points.

I got the kids Nitro concepts chairs last christmas, think they were around £140 on offer, they are ok for kids. (7 year old girl, 10 year old boy). They look decent but I dont think they are really suitable for adults, they are quite flimsy/flex a bit, I wouldnt use them.

Unless you can pickup a decent brand one second hand I would avoid the cheaper ones like the plague.

Haha I'm about 210lbs and quite clumsy so I don't think that would work for me. I'm. Looking into second hand office style chairs. I think I'll just pay for it as its not the style he wants then he can put his money into something more worthwhile. I don't bt think there is an affordable compromise for a racing style seat.
