Gaming chairs are great to have, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. They prop you up in a comfortable position and cradle you for extended periods, where other chairs would fail to keep you supported and satisfied. Sure a dining chair could suffice, but they're never cushioned, they aren't designed for hours of use. Of course, sofas are great, but can you move them around your house with ease, push them up front right next to your TV ready for a heavy gaming session?

Currently retailing for €199.99 on Nacon's site and £115.99 at most UK retailers, Nacon's PCCH-350 is a simple piece of kit that assembles in minutes and is built to last, with a 2-year manufacturer-backed warranty. It's a relatively no-frills chair with just one point of interaction, the gas-lift mechanism, and has a clean aesthetic that matches that of Sony's two-toned PlayStation 5 console.

• Ergonomic design
• Adjustable height
• Comfortable armrests
• Maximum supported weight: 100kg
• 5 wheels

Sporting a heavily ergonomic design, the main body of the chair feels incredibly solid yet the leatherette finish and spongy layers give it a soft touch on the surface. There are swathes of breathable white leatherette garnishing the sides of the chair, giving it a sleek modern clean and sporty look that I really like, and the ribbed padding that supports your back is a nice detail to give it a little texture. The finish is nice overall with the white stitching cutting through the predominantly black mass, but the care in manufacture is a little slack when you look at the slightly wonky stitch lines on the curved top section, and the stitching around the rear of the chair is somewhat wonkier. It's no deal breaker, but there should have been clean curved stitches all around, rather than clearly non-symmetrical ones, or wavy lines, and whilst I hope it's an isolated case with just this one random chair I picked up, it's probably the standard.

The two armrests similarly have a solid construction that is padded with a leather-clad foam for you to rest your elbows on, which is very comfortable indeed, but in these heatwaves it can become sweaty quickly and stick to your bare skin. Herein lies another slight problem, any natural oils on your skin will become a blight on the leatherette finish. Fingerprints, sweat, and general skin contact leave marks on the chair, everywhere, that you will have to clean off to make it at least look presentable whilst stored in a room.

The chair itself has five caster wheels on the base for easy manoeuvrability, and weighing in at 18KG it is pretty easy to wheel around wherever you want to go with it indoors, just ensure that you have a nice clean level base on which to use it, as directed by the instruction manual. It may also be worth paying attention to the weight limits as this model only supports up to 100kg or 15.7 stones in weight, so this model is probably more suitable for small to medium-framed people. In contrast, other models are built for 160KG and above.

This chair is comfortable, very comfortable! For the most part, it seats you succinctly and sufficiently that you can smoothly turn around in it and without much fatigue at all; sitting for hours on end playing games. I found the back support particularly impressive for me personally because it forces you not to slouch and to sit tall and straight at all times. I played plenty of Fall Guys and Sniper Elite 5 in this thing and I can honestly say that it was a great, if somewhat basic experience, but this isn't a £400 chair with cooling gel inserts, or RGB lights flooding it, you have to remember that this is essentially an entry-level chair that is an officially licenced product of PlayStations, so you get what you pay for.

The lack of adjustment is the real kicker for this model, as there is no tilt, no multi-directional armrests and no additional cushions or pillows supplied to bolster your comfort. The ergonomic, posture-inducing bump that protrudes into your lower spine is actually really well placed for the majority of people under 6ft, but for those over 1.7m in height, you may find it in the wrong place, and therefore may also find the headrest and armrests too low as well.

If you want a model with a little more bite, then the similarly priced turquoise-hued PCCH-350 Chair 2 adds a 40-degree reclining mechanism and a beefier 160KG maximum load for €30 less, so perhaps that's the better deal if you're looking for a more sturdy chair to suit your needs.
