Great for long sessions

I was initially hesitant to buy this - £300+ for a chair seemed pricey, but given how long I spend sitting down for work and gaming I decided it was worth the risk.
Not at all dissapointed that I made the jump and bought it. The chair is properly supportive and the additional lumbar cushions make it really comfortable for long sessions sat at the desk. The armrests are adustable in every direction, allowing you to change their height and spacing to support your arms differently when holding a controller vs using a mouse and keyboard.
The initial issues some buyers had and talked about on the forums seem to have been ironed out now - my chair was easy to assemble (under 10 mins) and everything lines up perfectly.
Incredibly high quality chair

I spent a lot of time researching the best chair and hopefully some of what I say here may be useful to someone. I'll try and cover everything I can here so this will probably be a long one.
I'm a 3D games artist and therefore spend a lot of my time working at my PC. I needed a chair that would keep me comfortable and support my back whilst I work/game. I wanted a chair that was both high in quality and extremely comfortable. This chair meets both of those requirements.
If I am splashing out £200-£300 on a chair I want to make sure it's of the highest quality possible and that it will last. After doing some research on Noblechairs I found that quality is one of their primary goals.
Noblechair's passion for quality was something that was missing from most of their competitors and this immediately drew me to them.
The price of this chair was a little more than I was hoping to pay (I had originally planned to pay around £200) however I decided that I could justify paying a bit more as a chair isn't just about the aesthetic but it is also about your health. Plus I spend upwards of 10 hours a day at my PC working and sometimes gaming so I felt I could warrant spending the extra money and boy am I glad I did.
I could tell as I was building this chair that it is of extreme quality. I was a little skeptical of building my own chair at first as I haven't built much furniture before but the process was very straightforward. I had a friend who helped me with it but you could quite easily build this chair by yourself. The build process took around 20 minutes.
I'm exactly 6 foot, and quite thin (I weigh about 12 stone/76kg). This chair fits me perfectly. My neck comes right up against the head support cushion. The lumbar support cushion also fits perfectly in my lower back. After trying a few other brands of gaming chairs I can say that the lumbar and head support cushions of this chair are far softer and more comfortable than theirs.
One thing to mention, this chair is a little firmer than I was expecting. However it softens up after a week or two of use. The firmness is also a sign of good quality padding and means that the chair will stay comfortable for much longer.
Not that you should worry about the seat of this chair ever wearing down that much but if it did, there is a couple of tight elasticated straps under the seat instead of a plank of wood, meaning that even if the seat itself was to wear down over time the chair would still be incredibly comfortable.
The arm rests of this chair are far more adjustable than most other armrests on other chairs (they can be moved up/down, in/out, forward/backwards). They may look like plastic but they are actually padded and comfortable to rest your arms/elbows on.
The bucket style of the chair hugs you ever so slightly, giving that "cosy" feeling but because it is only a subtle "hug" it means that people with broader shoulders or a wider waist will still fit comfortably in this chair without fear of the chair's design imposing on them and causing discomfort.
The base of the chair is made of metal and is very strong. You are able to recline extremely far back in this chair (not as far back as some other chairs, but I've never felt the need to lie completely horizontal, however, if you were to tilt back on the chair and recline the entire way you could get it to be basically horizontal if you need that).
The height function of this chair surprised me, I usually use it on just above the lowest setting, but on the highest setting I can barely touch the floor! Could be useful to those with a foot stool under their desk or those who have very long legs or a tall desk.
Overall the design of the chair is very luxurious and professional. It takes the typical gaming chair aesthetic and removes the garish bright colours in exchange for subtle trims of colour which look a lot more mature.
This chair was one of the best upgrades I made to my PC setup and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new chair.
Luxury but not state-of-the-art

Like many other geeks, I have gone many chairs in my lifetime. This chair, however, was a gift I couldn't refuse and I'm glad I accepted it, because it has helped to overcome my back pain.
Instead of fretting to stand up, there is no pain, just a memory of it, and the noble-chair is to thank for it. The problem however is that because it's so comfortable, and stays in the position without complaints, it's really hard to just get up and go.
If you're looking for a something that has received some thought in the design process, look no more. This is the one you want, even if it is a bit pricey.
