Trust GXT 703 Riye review: the £125.86 chair
The Trust GXT 703 Riye is the cheapest proper gaming chair GamingKit lists at £125.86. You get a bucket seat, a reclining back, gas lift and fixed arms. It suits a first setup or a teenager's room. Fixed arms and basic foam are the compromises; at this price they are fair ones.
What £125.86 buys
At this price you are buying three things: the shape, the mechanism and the covering. The Riye gives you a high-back bucket shape, a recline lever, a gas lift for height and a five-star base on castors. The covering is upholstered in black and red, which hides wear better than a pale fabric.
Where it holds up
- Posture. The high back and side bolsters keep your shoulders square. That is the whole reason to buy a gaming chair instead of a kitchen chair.
- Height range. The gas lift covers most desk heights. Check the cylinder range on the product page against your desk before ordering.
- Price. Few branded chairs land this low. Most entry chairs from known brands start nearer £150.
Where it shows its price
- Fixed arms. You cannot drop them to slide under a shallow desk. Measure the gap between your desk top and the floor.
- Foam density. Budget foam compresses faster. Expect noticeable softening after a year of daily use, sooner if you are heavy.
- No lumbar dial. The lumbar support is built into the shape. It does not adjust.

Verdict
Buy it if: your budget is £130, you want a chair that looks right in a gaming room, and you sit for two to four hours at a time.
Skip it if: you work at the same desk for eight hours, you need adjustable arms, or you weigh near the top of the published limit.
Quick answers
Is the Trust GXT 703 Riye worth £125.86?
Yes, if you need a gaming chair and the budget stops at £130. It gives you a bucket seat, a reclining back and adjustable height. It will not match a £400 chair over a ten-hour session, but it beats an office chair at the same price for gaming posture.
What is the weight limit on the Trust GXT 703 Riye?
Trust publishes the limit on the product page, and it varies by market version. Check the listing at GamingKit before you order. We do not quote a number we have not read on the manufacturer sheet.
Does it come with arms?
Yes. The Riye ships with fixed armrests. Fixed arms are the main compromise at this price: you cannot raise them to fit under a low desk, so measure your desk clearance first.
Can I use it as an office chair?
You can. It reclines and it rolls, so it works at a desk. The bucket shape pushes your shoulders forward slightly compared with an ergonomic office chair, which matters if you type all day rather than play.
