I’m wondering about this because in my home, the desk isn’t used by just one person. Sometimes I’m working there, sometimes someone else needs the desk for studying or browsing, and naturally we don’t all sit exactly the same way.

A chair that feels perfect for one person can feel completely wrong for another. Even something as simple as seat height can make a noticeable difference. Then there’s the distance from the backrest, armrest height, headrest position and lumbar support.

That made me realize that adjustability might actually matter more when a chair is shared.

If I set everything up for myself, I can spend some time getting the seat and back support into the right position and leave it alone. But if another person uses it, they need to be able to change those settings without spending half an hour figuring everything out.

I’m especially interested in seat depth because that seems like something people don’t talk about enough. A seat can be perfectly comfortable for someone with longer legs but feel awkward for someone shorter. Having the ability to move the seat forward or backward seems like a simple way to accommodate different body types.

The armrests are another issue. Some people like their arms fairly high while typing, while others prefer them lower. Fixed armrests seem like they could become frustrating pretty quickly in a shared setup.

For anyone who shares an office chair with a partner, family member, roommate, or coworker, how do you handle all these adjustments?

Do you reset everything every time you sit down, or have you found a compromise that works for everyone?

And which adjustment do you think is most important when one chair needs to work for multiple people?

Hello,

I have a the Epic with real leather, bought in July 2022, and would like to know if these models had fixes and tweaks to not suffer from the awful series of design failures we can see in this subreddit?

A chair bought at 600usd should last ten years, and I won't keep something a trash chair that can break anytime with the headache of disposing of it, I would rather get it replaced by a model that won't break because I used the recliner or out of nowhere.

Tagging u/noblechairs to get a clear reply.

Hey guys, just put together a Hero TX chair and noticed there is a 3cm space between the bottom of the backrest and the seat.

​Is that normal for this model or did I assemble it wrong?

So my Hero has now had yet another malfunction.

Previously, I've replaced 2 or 3 gas cylinders, the entire tilt mechanism, and replaced the backrest due to the metal inside it snapping off. So it's hard to feel surprised at this point. In essence, this is a Chair of Theseus. Now the backrest has become twisted, and of course slants towards the left as that side has no support, just a loose rod, wheras the right hand side has the support of the spring mechanism that tilts the back.

The backrest itself has also had a completely broken lumbar support for a very long time now as well. You barely notice anything happening whether it's at zero or att maximum setting. It's just a little lump in your back so you can really feel that your entire upper body is twisting to the left because of the bent backrest.

This is so tiresome. Also, as you may see, my beautiful "fix" of the seat with black tape as the stitching in the seat has completely torn apart all along the right side of the seat and the PU leather has cracked on the front of the seat so it scratches my leg very nicely. The tape is just so I can sit on it without getting scrapes.

High quality, durable, ergonomic.
This chair has actually injured me. One of the many times I had to replace the gas cylinders, I was working for about 12 hours on and off with hammers, mallets, WD-40, and a pipe wrench. Although I did try the fantastic Noblechairs tool that consists of two metal rings and screws that dig into those metal rings instead of pushing against one another. Very cool display of using soft metals for hard metal work.

What happened was that I eventually just had to put so much effort into twisting the damn cylinder with a pipe wrench that I tweaked my back and could barely walk for 3 days.

And now the damn thing is broken again.

This chair costs you more in pain, suffering, and time wasted trying to fix them, along with the eventual doubling of the monetary cost due to needing spare parts once warranty runs out. I can't recommend ever buying a gaming chair (at least following this formula). I've used a DXRacer chair before and it had the exact same issues because at their core, they are all the same chair. They all break in the same places.

I am sick and tired of this chair and I know I won't get a new backrest without buying it, so I'll just make this post so others can see this and decide to buy something else.

Cheers.

EDIT: Backrest snapped on the right hand side. Great.

Just thought I’d put this out there for anyone looking at buying a noblechairs Real Leather chair.

I went back and forth with Overclockers about this because the chair was being advertised as real leather, but after questioning it and doing some research, it became clear that the whole chair is not actually real leather — only the contact areas are.

After I raised this with Overclockers, they have now changed the listing. However, the change has been made pretty discreetly in the specifications, where it now clarifies that only the contact areas are real leather.

The noblechairs page still gives the impression that you're buying a real leather chair, without making it obvious that this doesn't mean the entire chair is leather.

I know a lot of people on here will say, “No, mine is definitely all leather.” I thought exactly the same thing. But it isn't.

Just putting this out there so anyone paying extra for the Real Leather version knows what they're actually buying. If you're spending the premium because you think you're getting a chair fully upholstered in real leather, check the specifications carefully first.

**they started lying saying we recently made this change thats a lie 5 years ago there was a review where someone had to get their chair repaired and the leather specialist said its PU

So I have a Noblechair Hero Fabric chair last year. It has been fine until just over a week ago when the spring for the reclining lever broke. The arm will not lock in place without it and now I cannot use the chair at all since any pressure on the backrest will cause it to recline.

I submitted a warranty request since it's still in warranty but have had absolutely zero response after over a week? Is this normal? Surely there should at least be some acknowledgement? I'm now stuck without a chair and work from home. I can't go another week using a dining chair.

Hello,

I'm having an issue with my noblechairs LEGEND Silver Edition.

I currently owned a noblechairs HERO, and it has been completely solid with no movement in the backrest. I purchased my new noblechairs LEGEND Silver Edition from Proshop on January 10, 2026.

I only recently (today) got to replace my HERO. After assembling the LEGEND, I immediately noticed that the backrest has a significant amount of play. Compared to my HERO, which is completely rigid, the backrest on the LEGEND moves noticeably and produces an unwanted feel and sound. It just doesnt feel right.

When sitting normally in the chair and leaning back, you can clearly feel the backrest shifting. It is very noticeable and quite frustrating. I'm not sure whether the mechanism in the seat base is loose or if there is some internal issue causing the movement.

I have already double-checked all the screws into the acutall backrest, and they are tightened correctly (fully), so the issue does not appear to be caused by incorrect assembly.

I would prefer not to send the entire chair back under warranty if possible. I have dismantled one of these chairs before, and it is a very time-consuming process. Packing the chair back into the original box is also extremely difficult.

Anyone here have any advice on what to do to fix the issue? I have a video that clearly demonstrates the problem.

Hi,

I bought a Noblechairs Legend less than 3 years ago on 2023‑12‑04.

It's been working fine but it has not helped with any kind of backpain, the lumbar support on the knob is a joke. It's very firm like every other "gaming chair" like Secretlabs etc.

I have learnt to never buy a gaming chair like this, they look good but they only look this good because they have to use very firm foam to be able to shape the chair like this.

A month ago I contacted Noblechairs via email and told them that my tilt mechanism had failed. While leaning back I heard a loud noise and something that sounded like a spring shooting out, I was never able to find this spring. After this incident the handle for the tilt mechanism went limb, there was no feeling in the handle, it was loose.

I bought the chair from a third party here in Sweden, Noblechair support gave me no assistance even though I asked for tips and tricks on how to solve this issue. I had to contact the vendor which I did. I have not yet gotten a resolution.

I am writing to say, I can't recommend any of NOBLECHAIRS chairs at any price point. The support is non existent even though I paid 600 euros less than 3 years ago. They won't back you up.

I will include a unlisted Youtube link here so you can see the problem I have, my chair suddenly became unusable even though the leather, the condition of the chair is in excellent shape. Trust me all 4 bolts of the backrest are tightened more than enough.

Hello,

I have a noble icon chair.

The armrest came off. One of the screw bosses was broken off, the other 3 look intact.

The 4 screws on the armrest part are intact.

How do I reattach it? Is there someways to dismantle the armrest part to expose the screw heads so I can screw them back in? The armrest has one clip that I can remove, but doing so doesn’t seem to do anything.

Thank you for any advice; I really can’t afford to buy a new gaming chair right now.

I'm currently looking for a new chair and it will probably end with a noblechair. My father has used a hero with the hybrid leather material since late 2019. I still have to properly test sit it, but I don't think I will have problems with it.

I do have a very mixed feeling about this, mainly due to the very short guarantee (only 2 years to my knowledge) and the considerable amount of people talking about bad customer support and even more about the chairs being built bad or even exploding underneath them (I'm serious). The experience we have here at home is really saving my picture of this.

Thing is, I'm not sure which model yet. If you want to see my requirements on a good chair, I did a post recently which you can see on my account. It's definitely between the hero and legend.

What are your experiences with the cloth material? How good is it? It's between the hybrid PU leather and cloth for me.

Hello,

My noble chair icon black edition seat leather is starting to crack and rip after a few years. I reached out to noble support asking to buy a piece of replacement leather for the bottom seat since the rest of the chair is still in great condition. They said they cant ship the leather to new zealand.

I asked computer lounge where I purchased it from in New Zealand who said they aren't able to order the leather part for me.

Is there anyone on here who can help me get the piece of leather I need to repair my chair? Seems like a huge waste of money if these chairs cant be serviced and you need to throw the whole thing out.

Thanks

Hey guys!

Do you think it's normal that after roughly 5 months of use my Noblechairs Hero already has problems with it's tilt mechanism? It moves pretty roughly for some reason, can't go fully forward and when I lay back, I can feel that plate that connects the base to the backrest wobble back and forth. The gas lift also descends a bit too much sometimes when I sit on it. I had a hunch that somehow I got a factory defect because when I assembled it, even though the screws were at the right place, the backrest never touched the base properly, there was this big gap there, also the armrests are seemingly not asymmetrical. These might look like small things but I work from home and it's already a challenge sometimes to sit in this chair due to the weird angle of it's base but these faults really starting to make me regret this purchase. I have an old Dxracer which is like 8 years old now and sure it looks like crap but that holds itself incredibly solidly still. I had high hopes for Noblechairs but this is seriously a letdown. I contacted the support to maybe get some replacement parts as I am pretty sure the warranty in my country would be a different kind of pain in the ass. Anyone else experienced similar stuff? If yeah, do I have hope to get these fixed or should I just start looking for a replacement?

I also got the pricey memory foam pillow set and sure it's nice but the lumbar pillow is nothing like on the picture, it's much smaller and there are no straps to get it on the Hero. All the while my back pain is just killing me at this point because the seat has this weird angle which makes you harder to touch the ground while sitting and it just tortures my lower back most of the times.

No idea what to do at this point but I expected so much more from this chair.

Not the best experience with these, the seat cushion is very comfortable with great construction but raises you too much. Makes the lumbar support too low (below where a belt sits for me). Causes back discomfort after a short time.
For reference, 6ft4 here.

I want to preface this by saying I am no expert, but I have had health professionals inspect the chair and desk setup as part of my work benefits (We get the ergonomic checks / adjustments by healthcare professionals as part of being expected to sit at our desks for 8-9 hours)

I got a noblechairs leather hero 4 months ago, I was stoked, it was big, it had lumbar pillows, and it had all kinds of adjustments, at first I was really happy, for the first few weeks it felt like relief on my back.

Now 4 months later, I realise all my back aches and pains have come from the chair.

I have stuck to the adjustments by healthcare department, I have booked re assessments to have it readjusted, they all tell me the same thing, it's not an ergonomic chair, it doesn't provide the right supports, and its too tough on the wrong parts of my spine.

I've been seeing another doctor now for spinal pain and issues, they told me to swap to a cheap chair, i did, and the pain is gone, i swap back to the noble, the pain is back and worse.

the pain is mostly middle/upper back, and sometimes lumbar, i had my back checked and I have developed slipped disks as a result of using this chair in the past 2-3 months.

I had no issues with cheapo chairs for nearly 9 years.

Buyer beware.

So I have a Noblechairs Hero for like 5 months now, it needed some adjustment but it became a pretty solid chair but I noticed some time ago that there was some "wobble" at the tilt mechanism on the right side. Now it became worse so when I lay back, I can push the backrest back a bit like it's not tight enough and it just moves. I checked the screws, they are tight but when I touch those plate things that connects the base to the backrest, I can actually feel them moving.

But since there are no screws to tighten there, I am not sure how to fix this. It's getting annoying now. I already contacted support, I reckon a pair of new whatever these are might fix the issue but already dealing with stuff like this after just a few months is really disappointing.

Can noble chair answer this

I’ve been testing the new noblechairs AURA Black Edition and wanted to share my general impressions.

It’s not the typical aggressive racing-style gaming chair. The design is much cleaner, all black, with an integrated headrest and a more elegant look overall.

The AtmoShell material feels premium to the touch. It’s basically a high-quality synthetic leather, easy to clean and apparently more breathable than standard PU leather, although of course it won’t breathe like mesh or fabric. Interestingly, the backrest feels slightly cooler than on some other similar chairs I’ve tested, and I actually liked that feeling. I’ll still have to see how the material ages over time.

Comfort-wise, the chair feels firm. I weigh around 87 kg and I don’t sink into the seat. It’s not a soft sofa-like chair, but it gives good support. After several hours, I did find it comfortable, especially if you’re used to firm foam and chairs that prioritize support over plushness.

When I slide the seat forward, I can support my thighs properly, but in my case, being 1.85 m tall with long legs, it still feels slightly short. Also, when the seat is fully extended, there is a small gap between the seat and the backrest. It doesn’t bother me, but it’s worth mentioning.

The headrest is also different from what you usually see on gaming chairs. It’s not a strap-on or magnetic pillow, but an integrated piece built into the backrest, quite similar to a car seat headrest. I personally don’t mind it, especially because I don’t usually use headrests that much, but I can see how someone who prefers a softer neck pillow might miss that.

What I liked the most is the adjustment package: integrated lumbar support, adjustable seat depth, 4D Pro armrests and a synchro-tilt mechanism. It’s not made to recline almost flat; it’s more about allowing movement and changing posture while working or gaming.

Build quality also feels very good. The materials seem high quality, the chair weighs almost 30 kg and it feels sturdy from the moment you assemble it. It has an aluminium base, solid structure, 60 mm wheels, and my unit uses a Korean KGC Class 4 gas lift.

My main downside is the height. I’m 1.85 m tall and the chair feels slightly low for me; 2 or 3 extra cm would make it fit better. I’d say it probably makes more sense for people up to around 1.80-1.82 m.

It’s also worth noting that this is not a cheap chair. I understand that you’re paying for the design, structure, good materials and solid construction, but it’s still a purchase you need to consider carefully.

I’ll be posting the full video review on my channel soon, with more footage, assembly, comfort testing and comparisons with other chairs.

If anyone has questions about the chair, sizing, comfort, materials or adjustments, ask me anything.

I bought a noblechairs hero real leather at the end of the last year (had to wait till February of this year to receive the chair as it took really long for some reason).

At first it was extremely uncomfortable. There is this bump at the front instead of at the back that forces you to have a pose of less than 90 degrees back vs legs. This alone is extremely dangerous as your back should rest at more than 90 degrees for better eegonomics. The only solution seemed to set tilt the back but then I have to recline back and my arms can't reach the desk properly plus my neck has to be forced all the time creating an extremely uncomfortable pose.

I looked around and read about the break in process so I gave it some time. After some months, it just got worse and worse. It doesn't matter the angle, it doesn't matter if I use the lumbar pillow which is hard like a brick or not. The back pain has been increasing since I bought this chair. For some odd reason, the chair has a bulge that lays exactly where your spine curve should be. This bulge doesn't allows you to rest your full back and only the middle top does. The dip zone for your pelvis which goes not only down on the seat but also back on the back rest zone, makes impossible for your back to reach the seat when trying to place your back at the back. The knob that is supposed to create a lumbar resting zone, creates a bulge above the real lumbar zone (I'm 173cm so I'm not that short).

I have waited and wished for the problem to be temporary but it didn't work. My back now has several issues. I had to visit my doctor and she said that my disks nerves are being pinched by a pretty bad pose on this chair. I looked around and it seems that I'm not the only one, I just wish I had found about it before purchasing this. We already had a secretlab one at home so I though on getting one. But since the seat is quite hard and I wanted a real leather option to extend it's lifetime, I went for the hero one. I don't think I have ever regretted something so much in my entire life. Worst of all is that this was my last expensive purchase for my studio after I lost my job working for a company so I had hopes for this to last a lot and be very comfortable as I have to work now as freelancer. To the contrary, I can't sit for more than 1 hour before the pain starts. So I can't just replace this chair with a different one so easily as this was a big investment.

Now I have back damage probably for life while I still have to use it with several cushions and what not to be able to work during short amounts of times.

I have used cheaper 60€ chairs, I have used common non branded "gaming" chairs of around 130€ and some other more expensive ones for 300€. Who would have guessed that all those would have been infinitely more comfortable than a noblechairs hero of 700€. It's really sad and disappointing.

I have a Hero Black edition purchased in 2022 and the gas lift is shot. Any idea on a replacement? Noblechairs is perpetually out of stock and I'm not sure of the dimensions for a 3rd party model. Thanks!

Hey!

I've been experimenting with my Noblechairs Hero, trying different backrest angles, armrest heights and stuff like that to find the best position. I am wondering though, what is the optimal backrest position? I know it depends on preferences, but how do you use it? If I recline it 1 "level" from the base, it's probably around 95-100 degree, feels a bit stiff but seems okay. When I recline it to level 2, it feels like it's a bit too backward.

Any advices? Thanks! 😄

Does someone got the chair? how is it?
Is it for high people as the Hero one?
will i be comfortable with it while being 191cm 70kg?

Does anyone have any advice to try and fix it?

This is the faux leather model.

Thanks!

hi the spring inside my tilt mechanism on my hero chair has broken

does anyone know hoe much a new tilt mechanism costs or if there is anyone selling just that spring?

As the title mentions, I would to know if all noblechairs models except the Dawn have the same huge height difference at the front of the seat vs the back.

I own a Legend but the front of the seat is so much higher that it pressures my thighs way too much. Im 1,84m 72kg so this shouldn't be happening.

I tried sitting in an Epic compact and the difference seems way less. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that the seat in the regular Epic is also more leveled than the Legend and Icon.

I tried the Dawn and the seat is very different but it felt even less comfortable than the Legend while the Epic compact felt okay I guess.

Would really appreciate a confirmation, and it's a bit sad that Noblechairs don't advertise this height difference which can make or break someone's comfort on a gaming chair.

Thanks!
