correction: PU (Poly) Synthetic Leather is a man made material that will represent the look and feel of Genuine Leather but in fact is not. So will not have the same longevity as genuine leather. In terms of 'feel', i couldn't really tell the difference

Glad you pointed that out, was going to mention it in the comments. Agree fully, it still feels like a very high quality leather, without the need for skinning any livestock. A "Care guide" with the chair would've been nice.

I am concerned about the fake leather peeling with time. Chances of that happening?

@ZerakTul 6 жыл бұрын

Sadly it does make a big difference. I bought a similar PU Leather chair two years ago (different company, very similar style of chair), and while it was perfectly fine for the first year or so, after that the material started peeling horribly, both at the seat and back and even parts of the surfaces that I don't even come to contact with sitting in the thing. But your video made me look up noblechairs and it turns out they make chairs with actual leather too. Considerably more expensive of course, but hopefully far longer lasting too.

Hey man, thanks so much for your video!!! All thanks to your video, I am really interested in buying this chair. As an adult gamers in his early thirties, I too desired a comfortable gaming chair that didn't look too young. I do have a rather silly question to ask and I'd like to get your input. I'm a big fan of the version with white stitching (same as yours). However, I feel the white stitching may turn gray over time due to it being a needle which can easily get dirty and may end up be hard to clean. Did that happen to your version? Thanks again for the awesome review! I've subscribed to your channel too!

Own one since 2019. The posture is really good and I can sit all day and not have back problems or bad posture. It's also very firm which is good for keeping a correct posture but can numb your buttocks when you begin using it or after long periods of sitting, especially if you're heavy. It's important to get up from time to time. The chair structure and upholstery are holding up pretty well, even though it's white and has been cleaned with chemical products multiple times, it still looks and feels new. The aluminium base, however, scratches rather easily which chips off the black powder-coating revealing bare metal. The armrests don't jiggle any more than they initially did lol. Minor complaint for the tilt lock plastic handle which cracked but is still functional. Still recommend because I sit on it from 8 to 12 hours /day and don't have any back or neck pain, and ultimately that's what matters imo.

this chair is very good. 4/5 stars. Price: Pricey but worth it, you get a very high quality heavy chair. Why 4 stars and not 5 stars? this chair has 2 weaknesses: #1 the cushions are pretty bad, the back cushion gets worn out extremely fast and costs a lot to replace (around 30 EUR unless you claim warranty for annoying support contacts) and #2 the armrests unlike the rest of the chair are of somewhat lower quality compared to the rest of the chair, it feels a bit cheaper and is a bit wobbly. Overall still - a fantastic chair. I would also advice to only buy this if you are rather tall (MINIMUM: 180cm+ / 5.9 feet). It will be uncomfortable if you are smaller because of the design stuff like headrest, leghight etc will not fit if you are small.

I made the mistake of getting a gaming chair. It's in the corner of my room still not being used. Sure it gave me great back posture but the seating part with those wings on the sides of the base push ur legs together. Now that's fine if ur a woman but if ur a guy like me, ur gonna want your legs wider apart so ur balls have space to breathe. Your only other option with a gaming chair is to widen ur legs anyway and and rest them on top of the wings and that just leaves them digging underneath ur thighs. Not comfortable at all. I prefer a open desk chair and a cushion. It's cheaper and its more comfortable.

I am 6'0, 195 lbs and my feet barely touch the ground. I also like to sit with my legs slightly apart, but this chair forces my legs closed and my pants ride up on me. It is very firm, not comfortable firm, I mean very irritating firm. Kinda sad I spent 350 dollars on this. Maybe some people will have different results, but I do not like the chair.

@SirSnoozebutton 6 жыл бұрын

I got this chair today and sadly I have the same first impression. I'm 5.11 and the lowest chair height is still too high. Unless I have shoes on this basically puts all the weight of my legs on my lower hamstrings, instead of spreading out the pressure, giving discomfort over time. I wouldn't even say the chair is firm, but rather rock hard. In addition to that the tilt mechanism pushes the front of the chair fairly high up, putting even more pressure on my hamstrings. Overall, this is probably one of the least comfortable chairs I've ever tried. On the plus side, the build quality is excellent and it was super easy to assemble. Sadly the comfort was just awful. I guess this only really fits people with super long legs.
