noblechairs Epic Real Leather gaming chair review

As with most chairs, this one arrives in a big heavy box.

Once opened up you will find all of the main parts. First up is the base seat and the back rest. Elsewhere in the box you will also find the five-star foot base, wheels, the gas lift and some screws for assembly.

For this build, the instructions tell us to start off with the base seat. Turn it upside down so that it sits on the arm rests, align the gas lift with the screw holes and secure with the four screws provided.

From there, we want to grab the five star foot base, attach the wheels and the push the lift bar in to place. Then attach that to the base seat.

At this point, most of the work is done. We have successfully assembled a stool, which wouldn't be the most comfortable thing to sit on for hours at a time, so the next step is to attach the back seat. However, before doing this, I would recommend taking a look at the holes on the back seat to ensure that there is no padding in the way to stop the screws from threading properly.

The back of the chair may seem a tad bulky at first but with a little bit of careful positioning, I managed to align it with the metal brackets pretty easily. All of the holes on the side of the chair lined up properly and thanks to my earlier check, there was nothing there to block the screws from threading.

Now the chair is fully assembled! Some of you may remember that back when I reviewed the Vertagear SL4000 (review HERE) in November 2015, I encountered some quality control issues that made the whole building process harder than it needed to be. Fortunately, it looks like noblechairs has taken care in this area as the build was quick and easy.

Everything about this chair has been excellent so far. Not only was the build easy but once the whole thing is put together, you can really appreciate the design and materials used. I do worry that perhaps the embroidery on the chair could fray over time but that isn't something we can really assess right now within the time constraints of this review.
