Looking for reclining office/gaming chair with footrest

So I am looking for a reclining office or gaming chair with a footrest.

I looked on Staples with no luck.

I searched Amazon for quite a while, and ordered this:

https://www.amazon.com/GTPLAYER-Gaming-Footrest-Ergonomic-Massage/dp/B08332K9XN

It's made by GTRACING, which is a respected brand in gaming chairs.

I like the armrests on this gaming chair and how they are attached to the back of the chair.

It also has pretty good customer reviews.

I'm looking for recommendations although I already placed the order.

(If I'm quick, maybe I could cancel the order and get something else.

Of, if I receive this gaming chair and don't like it, I could return it, and then order what someone recommends in this thread.)

So, any ideas, hopefully under $200?

It's possible to find a good chair on a budget.

I have two office chairs from Staples that have lasted over five years and are still going strong.

One was $50 and the other was $60.

So I showed my mom what I ordered (in the original post) and she called it my "skunk chair" because it's black and white kinda like a skunk.

...

By the way, I think the all black version looks much better, but it was over $10 more expensive, so I got the skunk chair.

That was my first thought.
I’ve had some OK luck with big box store chairs. But eventually something lets go.
At 6” 3”, 240, and lazy about my posture, I put some stress on them.

My wife buys high dollar chairs for her office. They are nice, but often too small for me.

My only thought was the material. A fake leather won’t breath much.
I like cloth for long term sitting. But real leather is OK since it breathes some.
Let us know how it turns out.
I may need me a skunk chair…
All the Best,
Jeff

Fake leather is not my top choice, but for my budget, I haven't found anything better.

UPDATE:

I received word from Amazon that my chair has shipped.

And I just noticed that the item probably doesn't have free returns, so I hope I like it.

My son has his eye on the same one. Stay in touch. He’s 5’11” (&only 14) just hoping it fits

I'm 6' 0", and weigh 180 pounds.

I have kyphosis (hunchback), and if I didn't, maybe I'd be 6' 3".

The skunk chair is supposed to come today, but tracking hasn't been updated since it shipped a couple of days ago.

Most of the GTRACING chairs look pretty similar--I just liked the armrests on this one.

...

EDIT1:

I'm hoping this skunk chair will replace a recliner that's falling apart, and an office chair.

I keep on switching back and forth between the recliner and office chair, and it'd be nice if one chair did the job of both.

...

EDIT2:

Also, I might be getting a beach towel to put on the skunk chair if I don't like how the fake leather feels.

I already have a seat cushion that I put on chairs to offer a bit more comfort.

The skunk chair is being sent via FedEx.

It was supposed to be here on Tuesday, so I messaged the Amazon seller.

They said that FedEx can only send so many items per day, so there may be a 5-7 day delay.

...

I looked for gaming chairs on Amazon at any price.

I couldn't find one that appeals to me and has better feedback than the one that I ordered, which surprised me.

Maybe Amazon isn't the best place to shop for gaming chairs?

I'm hoping that I'll like the skunk chair and it'll last a few years.

Then I can replace it with something that doesn't exist yet, and is more durable.

Have you considered Herman Miller and Steelcase Leap V2 (Youtube review and comparison?) These two are popular but rather expansive.
I got a refurbished Leap V2 cheap (~$220) from local secondhand office furniture store.
I specifically looked for these secondhand office furniture stores, they often acquire large amount of high end office chairs from closed businesses. Since the chairs are coming from conference rooms, they are usually in good conditions and I can worry less about indirectly touching someone else’s ass or genital. :wink:

I'm not interested in watching Youtube videos.

If you really want to help, provide a retail link to a place with a bunch of customer reviews.

Also, I'm not interested in buying used, and I don't think I can afford those chairs new.

I would be willing to go as high as $300 for a brand new chair that fits what I want.

Just trying to be helpful. I understand that used furniture may not be acceptable to everyone.
I thought the Herman Miller and Steelcase Leap V2 are worth mentioning because they represent the medium-high end products in the “ergonomic chairs” market, which gave me an overall idea of what features to expect in a good chair.
But all of that are just talking theories, I think the most important thing in picking a long-term chair is to try it out in person first to make sure you like it.
When I was doing my chair research 2 years ago, I heard good things about IKEA “markus” chairs which fits your price range. If you don’t like your current order, you may also consider checking that out.

Ikea Markus doesn't have a footrest.

I can tell by reading customer reviews if a chair is something that I might like, but trying it out in person would be a nice option to have after I read the reviews.

By the way, although I like the padded armrests in the OP, I can live with other types of armrests if they are done right, and I can get pads for hard plastic armrests.

I know you're trying to be helpful, but I have to point exactly what I'm looking for (and not looking for) so that people can be even more helpful.

And by assisting me in narrowing things down further, you are succeeding in being helpful.

I see that I got too carried away by my own taste when replying to your post, and missed the important criteria you have stated. Sorry about that.

No problem!

You did help me quite a bit.

So I did more online browsing.

I checked Amazon for office chairs and gaming chairs at any price.

There are very few office chairs with a footrest like I'm looking for, so I checked Walmart, Target, Office Depot, and Best Buy for gaming chairs.

(I already checked Staples.)

I didn't find anything that I was looking for.

By the way, Amazon seems to be the best place to shop for gaming chairs, if you're going for sheer selection.

The chair that appeals to me the most is the one I ordered.

...

Also, I forgot to mention:

I want a chair with wheels and adjustable height.

I checked Overstock for gaming chairs.

I didn't find anything I like.
