imageNoblechairs Epic: High Class - General Hardware Reviews

If you don’t know Noblechairs, you should. When we began reviewing chairs earlier this year, our own Gareth Harmer immediately spoke up that we should reach out, having been the proud owner of a real leather Noblechair for some time. Well, today is that day. My only regret is not getting in touch sooner. We’re looking at the Noblechairs Epic in black and gold, what might be the classiest gaming chair we’ve tried yet.

Read the full story here

    These gaming chairs look so uncomfortable. Can anyone who owns these things actually sell me that they are better on the back then say a 300.00 serta from office depot. I look at these gaming chairs and they throw in this 10 dollar walmart lumbar pillow , strap it to the chair and call it a day... How are these things so much money? What are you paying for the Gamer pleather? At least the 300 dollar serta at office depot has a list of "whats inside the chair" Lumbar flexing back cushion that adjust when you go backward, Gel forming seat cushion to reduce stress ect ect....

    Im no back surgeon or chiropractor but that little pillow that straps to the chair is nothing special or something i cant just add on my own to a cheap 69 dollar desk chair. And those plastic/rubber arm rests????

    Had to look up cold foam,it is imo meaningless in this application.Less flexible so imo would sit less comfortable but i guess more durable but your never replacing chairs looking inside at the foam,like never.

    The arm rests are always cheap in these specialty chairs,not a good design you ask me.
    Overall,still the same old cool looking mold but still a relatively cheap chair trying to sell for lot's based on looks.
    I have a 150 dollar non cool looking leather chair,3 years now,still A1 condition and i use it a lot.It is also very comfortable,i often sit in to sit back and watch movies as well the arm rests are actually leather and comfortable as well.
    So far i have yet to see one of these gaming chairs that look more value than mine,to me they all look like real cheap chairs with some added pads to make it look cool and of course the racing mold to also make it look cool.

    No, the idea is that it keeps its shape so you get better support.

    I still wouldn't buy one of these things but if I'm going to buy a chair I want one that is adjustable and all its curves, the lumbar support, etc, keep their shape.

    And not leather, I just do cloth or mesh as i want it to breathe.

    I've been using a Herman Miller Aeron for almost 20 years now. You guys should check that out when you get a chance. It's a helluva lot more expensive but I work from home so it's getting a LOT of use.

    Had me intrigued until "100% vegan PU faux leather cover". Why would you pay that much and settle for fake leather? You don't see cows walking around in fake leather. If it's not good enough for cows, it's not good enough for me.

    Just don't sit in one with keys in your pocket.  That metal perimeter frame isn't accommodating.

    I would love to get a chair like this, just couldnt see myself spending this much and then having my cat destroy it in months.

    for $339 it should be able to hold the weight of us larger gamers. 265 pounds limit makes this chair a very weak option for purchase. -3 rating for this reason alone.

    They also do a version with real leather, which is what I have. Works great!

    @Deathtognomes https://secretlab.co/products/titan Secret Labs makes a chair specifically for larger humans. the big community seems to like them a lot. Same price as above but just a big ass chair.
