You don't need to pay an arm and a leg for a comfortable place to put your legs and arms (and the rest of your body). The has been the for some time, as it balances price and comfort incredibly well.
The version of the chair I've picked out is the Black Leatherette model, which is the cheapest. However, the also works with [[link]] the promo deal, bringing it down to $200, should you want to pay $40 more for the texture.

If you're wondering what wowed us about this chair when we reviewed it back in 2023, it looks great, has a solid customizable recline, and is super comfortable. We praised the full price cost of this chair, so it's only better with over 40% [[link]] off.
We updated our review in October 2024, more than a year after reviewing it, to note that we haven't tested a single budget gaming chair better than it. In the PC Gamer office for a year, it was certainly bashed and moved around among other chairs, and it has handled those knocks with ease. In our update, we note its "increasingly good value" with price drops and sales events.
Good news if you like to sit cross-legged, our Katie found the TC100 Relaxed has ample room to do so, and it's so comfortable you'll be able to spend long days working on it, followed by long nights gaming.
We did, however, find that the 2D arm rests on the TC100 are one of its worst elements. You can move them up, down, in, and out, but that may be a tad strict for some sitters. The fact that you can't twist them or push them forward does mean you may have to get used to them, and this shows off the TC100's more value-oriented price point.
We also note that the headrest is just okay. You clip it on with straps, which can be a bit awkward, and very tall people (above 6'2" or so) may struggle to find a comfortable position with the headrest, thanks to how and where it sits on [[link]] the chair. It is plenty comfy once locked in, though.
Given the price, you do make some compromises with the TC100 Relaxed, but it's still an impeccable gaming chair regardless, and pretty astounding at its current price.
