EPIC Fallout Nuka-Cola Edition

Took a while to get used to and be wary if you are short.

A worthy gaming throne

I brought one of these after my old gaming chair finally gave out on me. During unboxing I found all parts individually wrapped and secure in place in the box. The actual chair oozed quality in my opinion. The leatheres although is faux. Looks real enough and the stitching is top notch. After assembly I found that the chair has a lot of customisation. Apart from the normal up and down and the whole chair reclining. It has themerged ability to recline the backrest. Pretty much like a car seat. The high headrest is a nice touch with the added head cushion. There is also a lumbar cushion for support in the lower back. The armrests go up and down, there's the ability to move them further in or out from the centre. My only grumble is the seat is stiff and after a few months it's still rock hard. TL;DR.... a solid chair for the avid gamer. Lots of adjustable comfort options. Don't be put off by the price tag. You get what you pay for. 9/10 for me

A really nice good looking chair but with one exception

Starting the Post is a tricky one because i want to start off by saying that although the Chair is "Designed in Germany" a place renowned for building quality products this Noble chair is actually manufactured in China, having said that the quality of the chairs manufacturing seems very high. It Doesn't bother me but it is something to be aware of and something that I had overlooked thinking the chair was built in Germany. The packaging was of very high quality, really thick sturdy cardboard, so damage during shipping should be non-existent under normal delivery conditions. I was really quite impressed in this department. Putting the Chair together is pretty easy the tool for screwing the back of the chair to the base is although quirky as its part of the Alley key, pretty useless so you will definitely need a Phillips head screwdriver here. Apart from that Alan Key for other bolts is fine although a bit rough on your hands if you really want to crank the bolts down. The Instruction sheet is clear and precise. As for the seat its self it has an elegant design whilst keeping the gaming looking, a nice mix of fake leather and what looks like suede around the edges is a nice touch, couple that with smart stitching you have a chair that really does look the business! One strange thing i did notice is there are two pointless zips running down each side of the back of the chair that are presumably there for aesthetics doesn't bother me but still worth a mention for the sake of transparency. Now to comfort and ease of use. The Chair base cushion is firm to hard, its not uncomfortable but it does take a bit of getting used to. If you where looking for soft cushioning this chair probably isn't for you. Having said that i have sat in the chair for 5 plus hours without any discomfort. Also on the base cushion i have thick thighs so i find the underside of my knees hang over the corners of the base cushion again not a problem for me but worth a mention for the thick thigh'd amongst us. The back cushion is comfortable and shapes to your body nicely even if you have broad shoulders. The head rest cushion I must say is really really comfortable and find myself using it all the time. Love how soft it is!!!! The Arm rests are a Plastic but are good quality, they are stiff and steady and there is lots of adjust-ability here. The tilt of the chair base is very good and you get a nice tilted back position that you can lock to your own preference. The Reclining feature is great again you can tailor it to your own liking to simply lie right back and chill. The Chairs gas lift seems go up a good high and also lowers with a smooth action although I'm only 5' 8'' so don't have a problem in that department . The caster wheels are nice quality and roll nicely on a carpet protector, a bit harder on carpet but still not too bad. NOW TO MY ONE PROBLEM WITH THE CHAIR. The chair has a lumber support cushion! You can move the it up and down the back of the chair with elastic straps but you cannot change the thickness of the cushion so your upper body is forced away from the chair unless you are in a reclined position. Why for the hefty price of the chair isn't there the more elegant solution of an air bag inside the chair that can be pumped up and adjusted to suit the users needs, i guess it comes down to production cost. (this feature I use at work everyday on an operators chair in work and it does make a difference over 12hours!) For those of you who are blessed with a good back then you can simply take off this cushion and the chair would be spot on. ........................................ IF you have read to the end well done, sorry it took a while but you (hopefully) have a fuller picture of what you will buying and some of my . All in All would i recommend this chair, very much so, even with the oversight of the Lumber Support cushion it's still a great chair and if it's your first really 'luxury' chair you will probably feel with like the bomb just looking at it!!
