noblechairs EPIC Series Chair Review

Introduction

Picking the right chair to go with your desk, so you can kick back and enjoy your games, or even just feel comfortable for those long work hours, can be a demanding task. The market is packed with options, ranging from the budget offerings, to hundreds, even thousands of pounds. Gaming chairs are big business these days, and while the market is flooded with affordable products ranging from £100-200, there’s not a growing market for premium products, and that’s where noblechairs come in.

“Avant-garde office chair brand noblechairs raises the bar up high by bringing you its impressive EPIC series swivel chairs pioneering the world’s first gaming chair featuring valuable and exceedingly durable real leather covering. Their equally well-equipped faux leather siblings are made of 100% vegan polyurethane (PU) with similarly outstanding characteristics and a 25 per cent higher material thickness of 1.5 millimetres. The entire range of noblechairs’ classy gamer seats shares the same stellar German design that strikes a perfect balance between luxury car-inspired appearance and materials as well as idiosyncratic gamer chair styling and ergonomics descended from racing car seats. The resulting discreet design without garish colouring creates an air of noblesse and renders the noblechairs gaming chairs simply beautiful.” – noblechairs

Today, we’ll be taking a look at the noblechairs EPIC, their PU leather covered model which clocks in a little over £300, and while that’s not exactly loose change, it’s still noticeably cheaper than their genuine leather version of the same chair, which comes in at a wallet-busting £490. Of course, for those familiar with high-quality chairs, this isn’t even close to really expensive desktop chairs, but it’s certainly the upper end for most consumers and the general gaming chair market.

“High-precision manufacturing for superb ergonomics noblechairs’ enviable sitting comfort is fabled due to its dimensionally stable high-class upholstery made of freshly moulded cold foam with 55 per cent density straight from the factory instead of recycled waste scraps used in many lesser, competing products. Its open-cell cold foam structure delivers optimal breathability in conjunction with the luxurious cover materials employed, which allows for a pleasant climate regulation and brings along increased robustness and longevity. The gaming chairs are perfected with fully automated manufacturing processes akin to those applied by car manufacturers that warrant a flawlessly pristine build quality.”
