Quality for a price
par Don HutchesonAfter researching a lot of different chairs (and upping my budget several times!) I decided to splash out on this real leather Noblechair. Ideally I would have like a slightly smaller chair with lumbar support, otherwise this one ticked all the boxes for me.I must admit I did have quite a few reservations as I'm only 5'6" (and 72kg) and this is a big chair. I ordered the extra short gas lift to go with the chair and after putting it all together I'm very pleased with the result. On it's lowest setting I have no problem putting my feet flat on the floor, when seated the top of my head is in line with the top of the Noble symbol and I find the extra width of the chair great for getting comfortable (i can easily sit cross legged if I want to). As other reviews have mentioned the material and build quality are fantastic. The seat cushion is very firm, but I do find it very comfortable. If I had one small thing improve it would be the positioning of the armrests, where it bolts on to the base seat, as I find them a bit wide. It's not major issue for me as I tend to slide the armrests under my desk, but it looks to be easy win to expand the bolt 'slots' and enable the arms to be positioned closer to the seat. i've only had the chair. I've only had the chair 1 week, so time will tell on the wear and tear but I don't really have any concerns.
