I'm planning significant upgrades to my gaming setup this Memorial Day weekend. While I typically avoid holiday sales, concerns about impending tariff impacts and potential price hikes have convinced me now's the time to act. After years of postponing, upgrading my gaming environment feels increasingly urgent.
Current Shopping Strategy
Most Memorial Day promotions launched last week, with Wayfair emerging as my primary destination for furniture browsing. Their selection spans office chairs, desks, and bookcases for game storage - plus their intuitive interface makes deal-hunting efficient. For quality benchmarks, I've cross-referenced IGN's recommendations for top gaming chairs and desks.

Begin With Wayfair's Extensive Selection

While Amazon dominates across categories, Wayfair specializes in furniture discounts. Their powerful filtering options let shoppers isolate Memorial Day deals while specifying dimensions, materials, colors and budgets. Though ideal for narrowing preferences, premium office/gaming furniture may warrant broader searches. From personal experience, Wayfair excels for bookshelves, lighting and basic furniture.
Invest Heavily in Seating Comfort
The centerpiece of any upgrade should be the chair - my current crumbling model reinforces this need daily. As a dual-purpose workstation/gaming throne, I'm weighing comfort-focused office chairs against specialized gaming options. Secretlab's Memorial Day sale makes their Titan Evo (an IGN favorite) particularly tempting.

Personalize With Amazon Accessories
The finishing touches - RGB lighting, peripheral organizers, ergonomic supports - transform functional setups into personalized battlestations. Amazon consistently offers the most competitive pricing for these enhancement pieces.

Noteworthy extra: Amazon currently features exceptional TV deals including record-low pricing on LG's C4 - a top contender for console/PC gaming displays.
PC Hardware Considerations
As a Steam Deck/Switch user, full PC upgrades remain financially impractical despite tempting deals. However, Memorial Day presents prime opportunities for those seeking gaming laptops or desktops - with notable promotions at Dell, HP, Lenovo and Best Buy.
