Floor rocking gaming chairs

I dont understand these at all when there is a perfectly good sofa to sit on but my husband really wants one for Christmas. I cannot find one for an adult - there's millions for children but nothing for an adult. Is he winding me up?! Does such a thing exist? AIBU to get him some socks instead of this fictional chair he wants?! Any help gratefully received.

They do exist. My BIL had one. Looked like an overgrown teenager in it. I'd check the brand but it isn't there anymore, my sister threw it off the balcony at him.

He cheated. Then told her it was because she wasn't 'providing for her man'. 😂

So she provided for him. From 20 feet up.

Will he be using it downstairs?

DS had one in his bedroom and it used to drive me mental in the lounge below...

Yes downstairs in the games room (sounds posh but isn't!)

It was similar to this without the lights

Sorry for the huge link. Looking at the measurements it should fit an adult easily.

I think because the photos all have children sat in them makes me assume they're not for adults!

They vary in prices. Get googling Twitch streamers recommended gaming chair.
I don't know specific brands but have seen men on twitch sitting in them.

I think it's called sentinal. It's a complete pig ugly thing though, I wouldn't have it in the living room 🤣

AJGranny · 14/12/2021 21:05

Ridiculous length on those links!?

DontWiltMySpinachPlease · 14/12/2021 21:06

My sister's MIL bought her husband one she absolutely hates it 🤣 it's always just shoved into the corner and as far as I know, her DH barely uses it. Not to mention they are bloody heavy.

Nanalisa60 · 14/12/2021 21:08

They are always on out local Facebook page for sale so I would look there and get a cheap one.
