Purchased a chair from GTPLAYER via…
Purchased a chair from GTPLAYER via their Amazon store on February 28th 2026.
Within the first 30 days of owning this chair (used for about 3 weeks) the seams on the seat pad had begun to split apart - the chair is made from a linen type of fabric that has a loose weave, it IS NOT an upholstery fabric and there has been no reinforcements added to the selvage edge and the seams have been cut short so the weave is literally pulling apart from the seams.
GTPLAYER offered to send me a replacement seat pad, so I accepted and waited for two weeks - Nothing.
I contacted them again, they said the first replacement seat pad was dirty/damaged so they did not send it to me, but hadn't yet sent out another replacement, assured me it would be sent as priority.
Another week passes with no contact so I request a return for either a replacement or refund. GTPLAYER state they will give me a £6 partial refund and I keep the chair OR I accept a replacement without a return and forfeit their "warranty" which I accept, being as a warranty is basically aftercare and doesn't supersede the UK consumer rights act 2015.
The new chair arrived at the end of April, approximately 2 months after the first chair. I build and use the chair, within a week the new chair is splitting along the exact same seams as the first chair.
I re-contact GTPLAYER to let them know that this chair is also defective, their response in part was;
"As we agreed previously, we already made a special exception to send you a full new chair replacement as a one-time goodwill solution, with no further after-sales service to be provided." (Literally a replacement for a faulty item is basic UK consumer law, not a "special exception")
I got Amazon involved who confirmed that under UK law I would still be eligible for a return & refund and Amazon contacted them to tell them to send me return labels.
Their response was that all of their products undergo complete factory quality inspection before shipment (the issue isn't the complete item it's that the fabric isn't appropriate for a seat) and that after a period of sitting it's normal for the fabric to relax and the seams to become loose (the seams are not loose they have completely failed, GTPLAYER have MULTIPLE photos of this!)
They are still refusing the return/refund, but have now offered me £12 compensation!
I'm looking into upholstery fabrics that look similar to the fabric used on the chair and in fabric alone to fix this issue it will be £24 that is before any work is done.
So I now have two chairs, one, I've had since 28th February, one since the end of April, both of them now in May have failed at the seams on the seat and GTPLAYER seem to think this is "normal".
I will say, the chairs themselves are super comfortable but they look awful not that the seams on the seats are tearing apart, and GTPLAYER just don't care.
