Bought this noble beast just over 2 months ago now, I absolutely love it.The chair is medium-firm on the back, yet soft on your backside. It comes with optional neck and lumbar pillows - I personally do not need the lumbar support as this chair is perfect for that lazy half slouch, half curl.
You tune the balance of the chair during set-up to your exact weight, allowing you to gently pitch backwards with your toes to float / rock gently just like being in a hammock.
It looks stunning in white and people thinks it's real leather. It is easily the most expensive gaming chair I have ever bought but I am so glad that I did - it blows my previous chairs out of the water.
Absolutely amazing but needs a bit of tweaking.

Starting from the beginning. The packaging was spot on. Mostly easy to get to whilst also being well protected. Building was pretty easy, it's mostly like the usual desk chair with slight differences. The bolts for the chair are actually in the chair and I discovered this the hard way. Pretty straight forwardand I am shocked at how great this chair is with the minimal effort required to build apart from the bolts for the back, but that was my fault haha. Coming from an old styled desk chair, this is like upgrading from a P4 to an i7. The comfort is amazing! Not as great as those luxury executive desk chairs,
but it's certainly amazing and the back support spot on for me. The wheels glide along with 0 resistance on carpet, and plastic mats and when going from the carpet to mat, usual desk chair gets stuck at times, this had no such issues. Rubber wheels are something off skateboards which I thought was clever!
I'm a pretty big guy, and I can do the whole leaning back with ease. In fact, I did this whilst listening to music at my PC and almost fell asleep. My only issue and I'm not sure if it's probably my nitpicking. The arm rests are unable to be fixed properly and because of this, they're tad loose and wobble a bit.
I've checked to see if I could remedy this or if I missed something, but this seems to be how they're meant to be? It soon goes when resting your arms, but when pulling/pushing the chair from the right arm rest the arm rest swivels 60° and this is using the normal strength. nothing extreme or over the top.
It's easy to overlook and doesn't interfere with usual use.
This has everything I wanted and also what I didn't think I wanted. I also understand this review is lengthy, but hoping this will help people with decision making and also learn from me about the back rest and it's bolts already in place.
Seriously, a phenomenal product.
Quality product

Just finished putting my new Epic chair together. Construction was fairly straightforward and took me half an hour by myself. I did struggle for five minutes to get the first bolt hole lined up while wrestling with the weight of the backrest. Once that was done the other holes were no problem. To be fair Noble do recommend having two people to build the chair and this would have been helpful in this instance.
The finished chair is a quality product, sturdy with virtually no slop in any of the components. The bolts all have locking washers so its not likely they will loosen over time. The fabric is thick and well stitched, is fitted square, has no marks or blemishes and doesn't look like it will wear out quickly, but time will tell. Even the bolt and handle covers are well made injection mouldings. At no point during the build did I find myself saying: "That looks cheap, they could have spent a few quid more there."
I'm 5 foot 7 inches and 170 pounds and was worried this chair might be too big for me. First impressions are that its just about OK size-wise, although I think anyone much smaller might need to use the lumbar cushion to prevent the front of the seat digging into their calves. I'm not using that but am using the neck cushion which is very soft and comfortable, anyone smaller than me might find it sitting a little too high though. The seat padding itself is firm, but then that's how I like it.
The adjustments all work well. As well as up and down the seat bottom can be easily locked at any angle of tilt or just allowed to rock fore and aft, while the backrest can be angled and locked independently. Both armrests can be adjusted in all three axis by pressing and releasing buttons. I'd have liked a little more inward travel for them though as they are slightly too far apart to be ideal for me.
I'd definitely recommend this chair, unless you are shorter than 5 foot 6 or prefer softly padded chairs.
