Still Very Happy
von Paul LawrenceAs usual Overclockers customer services was brilliant. This chair was to replace another brand that seemed to suffer from discoloration on the back of the seat. They changed it without any fuss and my Noble chair arrived within a day or two.After opening the box all the components were very well wrapped and a quick check didn’t show any faulty parts. Putting the chair together was fairly simple, although I did struggle a little trying to bolt the chair back onto the seat by myself. You would probably need a second pair of hands to help with that bit, in fact Noble recommend two people assemble the char. All the components fitted together without any issues, there were no misaligned bolts or anything so all good so far. The finished chair is very sturdy, the fabric itself looks very well stitched together and the blue stitching and logo give it a nice clean look. All of the handles are well placed to adjust the chair. The bolts holding the chair together all have locking washers so I don’t think they will come loose too quickly. All in all, the components are well made and look like they should be part of an expensive chair. The chair also comes with a lumbar cushion and a head cushion. The head cushion is made of a very soft material and is very soft and the lumbar cushion is made of some sort of dense foam material. Again the quality of the cushions matched the chair, both having the noble logo stitched in blue to match the chair. The head cushion has a band of elastic which just loops around the chairs head rest, the lumbar cushion is attached to the chair using some elastic loops that fit through the chair and are clipped together, this is adjustable depending on how you want the lumbar cushion to sit. So very impressed so far. So I have now been using the chair for five months now. I work from home most of the time so have spent a lot of time sat in this chair. I can say I am still very happy with it. The material on the chair hasn’t suffered from any discoloration or seems to be coming apart all the stitching seems to be excellent condition. I have however noticed some minor niggles. Firstly, the head cushion seems to leak the material from inside, every so often you can see the stands of fiber peeping through so it’s just a case of pulling them through very carefully. The chair seat also hasn’t given yet, it’s still pretty firm as was the day I put it together, this may be a good thing as I’ve sat in some chairs that have got too soft after usage. Thirdly the lumbar cushion is just too uncomfortable for me, I’ve tried it several times but I just can’t get on with it, I end up sitting too far forward in the chair. My last and most worrying observation that the hydraulic piston has a bit of lateral movement in it, it sometimes feels like it is rocking slightly. The piston is securely seated in both the chair stand and the chair base but seems to be moving somewhere in the middle. I turned the chair upside down and could see it moving in the join between the two sections of the piston. The chair is pretty much as low as it can go so I not sure why this has happened. Hopefully this can be sorted out under the chairs warranty. Anyway this is still a very good chair, I would recommend it to anyone.
