Transform Your Gaming Workspace with Top Memorial Day Deals

I'm gearing up for a shopping spree this Memorial Day weekend. Typically, I skip the sales, but with uncertainties around tariffs and rising prices in the U.S., now feels like the right time to buy. I've been eager to revamp my gaming setup for years, and this moment seems like the perfect opportunity to act.

Many Memorial Day sales kicked off last week, and I've been diving into Wayfair's offerings for furniture. I'm on the hunt for a new office chair, desk, and a stylish bookcase to organize my games. Wayfair's site is user-friendly, making it easy to browse. I've also checked out IGN's recommendations for top gaming chairs and desks to explore other trusted brands.

If you're looking to enhance your gaming setup or office during these sales, here are my tips to get started.

Begin with Wayfair's Sale

Wayfair Memorial Day Sale

While Amazon's Memorial Day sale offers discounts on nearly everything, Wayfair stands out for furniture deals. It's a great starting point due to the volume of offers and intuitive filters that let you sort by dimensions, materials, colors, and price. Even if you don't purchase from Wayfair, it’s ideal for refining your preferences. I've bought bookshelves, rugs, lamps, and tables from them before and generally recommend their selection for such items.

However, Wayfair may not always carry the top brands. Their prices are competitive for standard furniture, but for premium office chairs or gaming-specific desks, you might need to look elsewhere.

Invest in a Quality Chair

When upgrading your setup, prioritize spending on a comfortable chair. I'm still choosing mine, but it’s where I’ll allocate most of my budget. My current chair is barely holding together, makeshift-patched with an old pair of sweatpants. Any upgrade would be an improvement, but since I’ll use it for both work and gaming, I’m being selective. I'm torn between a gaming chair and an office chair, but IGN’s endorsement of the Secretlab Titan Evo has caught my eye, especially with Secretlab’s current sale.

Shop Accessories on Amazon

The final step is personalizing your gaming setup with accessories like RGB lights, mouse pads, laptop stands, headset holders, and Steam Deck docks. Amazon consistently offers the best prices on these items. While Wayfair has unique finds like a discounted Darth Vader cardboard cutout, Amazon is my go-to for most accessories.

Amazon Memorial Day Sale

Though I'm not in the market for a TV, Amazon’s Memorial Day TV deals are impressive. Notably, the LG C4 hit a record-low price, making it a fantastic choice for console and PC gamers.

Boost Your Gaming PC Now

My gaming PC is outdated, and my budget doesn’t allow for an upgrade right now. I rely on my Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch for gaming, which are great for portability but lack in performance. A new PC with an RTX 5090 would be ideal, but with rising GPU prices and a potential Switch 2 purchase looming, it’s not feasible for me.

That said, Memorial Day sales are a prime time to shop for gaming laptops or PCs. I recommend starting with Dell’s Memorial Day sale, though HP, Lenovo, and Best Buy also offer solid discounts. Here are the top sales I’ve found for PCs and laptops.
