Who this product is for
The Noblechairs EPIC is designed to fit people between 5’4 and and 6’4 (165 to 195 centimeters) and support up to 330 pounds (150 kg). Of course the primary benefit of a gaming chair is to promote good posture while seated for long hours. To that end, the Noblechairs EPIC works perfectly.
If you are willing to pay a premium for higher quality materials and manufacturing, both the genuine leather and PU leather options are worth considering. Expect a gaming chair that looks great and more importantly makes you feel great.
What we like
The Noblechairs EPIC gaming chair is designed in Germany, made in China, and built using the highest quality materials. The wheel base is solid and the casters roll smoothly. The gas lift works as it should, and the entire package feels very sturdy. In addition the perforated diamond-stitched design looks sublime.
What we don’t like
The Noblechairs Epic is an incredible gaming chair – outside of the premium pricing, it’s hard to find flaws in this masterpiece.
The only thing we could come up with is the lumbar and neck cushions. Their quality is great and they work as they should. However, notice that most promotional images of the EPIC are taken without the cushions, which makes them look like works of art.
With the cushions in place (which are necessary for proper ergonomic support), the EPIC looks less spectacular – an internal lumbar mechanism (like that found on the Secretlab Titan) would make a huge styling difference.
Other Noblechairs models
Because of the popularity of the EPIC model, Noblechairs has since expanded their line to include two even more luxurious models. Both have similar features to the ICON with some enhanced luxury features and specialized support for large-sized users.
Noblechairs ICON
This spinoff of the Epic features a modified backrest design and has larger dimensions designed to support users up to six foot four and weighing up to 330 pounds. While the Epic has been the longtime flagship pf the Noblechairs brand, this model looks set to become it’s equal for big and tall users in particular.
Noblechairs HERO
The HERO model borrows much of the same elements as the EPIC but sets itself apart with an enlarged seat area and backrest, plus enhanced lumbar support for extra luxurious ergonomic support. Like the ICON, it supports large sizes up to six feet four weighing up to 330 pounds.
