If you thought you had to drop an arm and a leg to get a comfortable gaming chair, think again. Staples has slashed $100 off the price of the already affordable Emerge Vortex Bonded Leather Gaming Chair in Black and Grey and the Emerge Vortex Bonded Leather Gaming Chair in Black and Blue . Originally listed at $200, both styles are now just $100 with free shipping. That’s a whopping 50% discount. We’ve seen it reduced to $120 and $110 during major sales, but we’ve never seen this chair drop lower than $100, and other brands go for $300 or more. This is definitely a steal worth taking advantage of.
