8 Ergonomic Gaming Chairs That Aren't Hideous

If you have a loved one or roommate in your life who loves gaming, you've probably already come to this disappointing realization: Gaming chairs are the worst. Not only are they big and bulky but they're also often adorned with aggressive logos and dark, brooding colors that make them look like little villains sitting in the back of a room.

Gaming chairs are often visually displeasing under the guise of prioritizing ergonomic comfort, but here's the thing — ergonomics doesn't deserve a stain on its good name. To help you upgrade your home office/game room, we've rounded up some chairs that would be perfect for gaming without terrorizing your sense of style.
