Finding a quality gaming chair for a reasonable price is difficult. I've been searching, and searching and have always seen chairs that cost several hundreds of dollars. If you are like me, budgeting is my life. I know I can buy those most expensive chairs, as tempting as it was, but luckily I didn't splurge and continued my search. I then come across one I felt that delivers quality for a low price! GTRACING!
We love low prices, right? I purchased Pro Series GTBEE-black chair and before I get deeper into the review, let me just say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Design
Like many chairs on the market, GTRACING's chairs are built with a racing theme in mind and was made with a perfectly balanced budget in mind. Looking on the outside, you are probably telling yourself, "WOW, that looks just like these other gaming chairs"。 Well you are correct. Nothing different. Same exact concept but with GTRACING, they made these chairs with pride, quality, and all and all, making it affordable for consumers.
Some may not have heard of GTRACING, but let me tell you, they've been around. They are not an up and coming company, they are well known in the gaming chair industry. <Check GTRACING brand history>
An affordable gaming chair I love
GTBEE-Black chair is the right chair for hours of sitting, gaming, as well as working. Very sturdy, comfortable and worth the money. The design is a little bland but special in its own way. You're paying for comfort with this chair, not for flamboyance. Isn't it?
Comfort
Able to support up to 330 pounds, this chair has a highly adjustable backrest to find the best resting position for any size gamer.
I enjoy how snug I feel in the chair, mind you I am only 5-foot-7, but one thing I do have an issue with, when reclining back, it is not comfortable with pillows in place. Do not get me wrong, the lumbar and neck cushions are both excellent, but when in the reclined position, I have to take pillows off to lie down.
The two pillows are used as added comfort to help you relax due to the ergonomic concept and your back will also thank you for leaving them on as well. Also, they are removable.
Features
Outside of the pillows, the chair has more nice features. One, it comes with the capability to rock back and forth smoothly without making any noise from the base. Adjust the height of the chair, and the ability to also raise the armrests.
If you have the seat in a reclining position and you're not comfortable with where the armrests are sitting, you can simply move them up or down with a button located on the underneath the rest to make a smooth and efficient fix.
Conclusion
GTRACING Gaming Chair with Footrest Big and Tall Office Executive Chair
I have had this chair going on one year and it gets a lot of uses, not only from me but from my two daughters that game as well. They can sit in front of the television playing hours and hours of Fortnite and they enjoy the comfort level that this GTRACING chair brings and again, the price was amazing.
I purchased this chair for $135. Not a typo. You will not be disappointed. If you are on a budget (how many of us are not), and you are not comfortable at all while playing games, this is the chair for you.
One of the best things about racing style pro series gaming chairs is that they offer optimal comfort and support for – in the case of the GTRACING chair we are looking at

GTRacing GTBEE Review: Pros & Cons
For just $160, you can get a gaming chair that will offer a similar experience to chairs that cost $100+ more
The GTBEE series has four different color scheme options to choose from, so you should be able to find a scheme to match your preferences
The super deep bucket-style seats are restrictive and won’t offer an ideal sitting experience for larger users
While it would be an okay option for smaller users, there are other options in the same price range that don’t have exaggerated bucket-style seats
An Over-Exaggerated Bucket-Style Seat is the GTBEE’s Main Downfall
The biggest downfall for me with both this chair from GTRacing (and the F-Series Chair from DXRacer) is their bucket-style seats. If you’ve been looking into getting a gaming chair, no doubt you’ve heard someone complain about their bucket-style seats.
The GTBEE doesn’t have the widest seat-base as is and, so, the exaggerated bucket-style seats make sitting in the chair feel even more restrictive.
The idea is that, while a bucket-style seat will work in a race car to hold you in place, on a computer chair, it’s more annoying than anything because of how restrictive it is. But, most racing-style gaming chairs out there do have some kind of bucket seat style. However, both this GTRacing chair and the DXRacer F-Series chair have really pronounced bucket style seats and this results in a very tight fitting chair that isn’t ideal for larger or even moderately sized users.
As a comparison, you can see the differences between the seat base on my Secretlab Titan and this GTRacing GTBEE series chair. Of course, the Titan is a chair and the GTRacing GTBEE series chair is chair.

Secretlab’s Titan is one of a handful of racing-style gaming chairs that foregoes the exaggerated bucket-style seat design for a flatter—and more comfortable—seat base.
However, there are alternatives in the GTBEE’s price range that would be better options if these exaggerated bucket-style seats won’t work for you. For instance, GTRacing also offers the GT901 for more and that model solves the exaggerated bucket-style seat, and to be honest, I’m kicking myself for not reviewing that model instead, as I think it would have offered a much better sitting experience.
As you can see, GTRacing’s GT901 gets around the exaggerated bucket seat style by offering a much thicker seating cushion. Again, I haven’t reviewed the GT901 personally, but just by looking at it, I can assume that A) it has pretty similar specs and features when compared to this GTBEE-series chair and B) it handles the bucket-style seat in a manner that won’t make the chair feel quite as “tight” to sit in.

The GT901 is a budget-friendly option that gets around the downfalls that come with a bucket-style seat by offering a thicker seat cushion.
And, Ficmax also has a similar offering for a little bit less than the GTBEE series, but it doesn’t have as many color scheme options.
So, really, the tight-fitting nature of this GTBEE-series chair was really my biggest gripe about it. And, that could just be because I’m used to sitting in the much wider Secretlab Titan. But, again, I think if you’re an average-sized—or larger—user, this chair probably won’t be comfortable for you to sit in.
If you are a smaller user, who doesn’t like to sit with their legs spread apart or you just don’t mind being restricted a bit on the width of your seat base, you could probably get by with using this chair.
Because the other features that come on this chair are right on par with much more expensive racing-style chairs.
GTRacing GTBEE’s Features
First off, it does come with the same racing-style design that has become popular among gamers. You can get the GTBEE series chair in a few different color schemes, including all black, black and blue, black and white, and black and red.

The GTBEE is available in four different color schemes to choose from, so there should be an option that will suit most users.
The chair can recline back to 170-degrees and it comes with seat height adjustment and basic up-and-down adjustment of the armrests.

The GTRacing GTBEE can recline back to a maximum of 170-degrees, which is a bit further than the average racing-style chair.
So, really, in terms of features, there’s nothing really stand out about the GTBEE series lineup, it’s really just its low price combined with the fact that they offer the features that most gaming chairs come with, that makes them worth checking out.
A Note On Weight Capacity
The GTRacing GTBEE series chair does come with a maximum weight capacity of up to 330 lbs., but as I mentioned above, I’m not sure that the chair will be a great option for larger users. It may be able to physically hold up to 330 lbs., but, again, the narrow seat base and the exaggerated bucket-style seats won’t be conducive to larger users.
The other thing that I should point out is that there doesn’t seem to be any standard for putting a weight capacity limit on these gaming chairs. And, what I mean by that is that, while this GTRacing chair has a rated maximum capacity of 330 lbs., I can tell just from sitting in it that it is nowhere near as sturdy as the Secretlab Titan I sit in (which has a maximum capacity of 295 lbs.) or the Secretlab Omega I reviewed in the past (which has a maximum 240-pound weight capacity.)
So, definitely take that 330-pound maximum weight capacity with a grain of salt. And, once again, I’d probably only recommend this chair for smaller individuals anyways—and, even then, the GT901 I mentioned earlier, or the similar offering from Ficmax would probably be better options at similar price ranges due to the fact that their seat cushions are thicker and eliminate the downfall that comes from having a deep bucket-style seat.
Final Verdict: The GTRacing GTBEE Is Solid for the Price… But It’s Exaggerated Bucket-Style Seats Make it A Tough Option to Recommend
Overall, the GTRacing GTBEE gaming chair is a decent offering at the price it comes in at for smaller individuals. However, due to the fact that there are similar offerings out there at around the same price that won’t leave you feeling quite restricted—including other options from GTRacing—the GTBEE is a tough gaming chair to recommend.
