Excellent chair

Right from when you get the box, you know this is a good quality chair. The cardboard already is firm and resistant. Then, you open it, and it is perfectly packaged and secure. As soon as you start taking the parts out of the box, you can tell the quality of this product. I work on my feet, and a lot of times I carry heavy stuff around, which you feel in your back, then, when I am home, I expend most of the time in the computer, so having a chair that would treat my back well was a need, and this chair covers it.
The assembly was really easy, they recommend to do it with two people, but I did it on my own and was a breeze. The box with the screws and the allen key comes really well organised, so you don't have to dig through a bag full of screws to find the right ones. If you also have your own screwdriver set that has allen key heads, it will be even faster than it already is.
The box is heavy (67 pounds), but most of all is HUGE, so even if you can easily lift that weight, you will probably have difficulty to get hold of it, so I would recommend to people to carry it, specially if you need to go upstairs.
On the final note, I'm not sure if I would recommend this chair to someone that is specially short. I am 5'8''/175cm and my feet sit perfectly on the floor when I have the chair to the lowest, so if you are a short person, you will probably be in your tiptoes.
In general, this is an excellent chair, and for the quality of it, I am most certain that it will last for a very long time, so it is totally worth the money.
2 Months In - Still Epic.

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.

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.
