Chair advice please.

So I have been in the market for a new chair. I'm looking at Secretlab Titan, Noblechairs Hero or Epic. I'm 5.10 and 14st broad shoulders and large thighs. Can anybody with experience with these chairs give me some guidance. Would really appreciate it.

Sorry for not answering your direct question, but my advice is to search for "Orangebox Do Chair" on google and buy a used one of them from a popular auction website. They're around £90 and fantastic chairs. Loads of adjustability, and they don't look ridiculous.

Thank you for your response. To be honest I want a new chair and something that looks and feels robust. I find many ergonomic office chairs look flimsy and the quality office chairs are expensive for what they are in my eyes.

Hero is definitely big enough for you and the black leather version I have at a similar build, the same weight as you but slightly taller is also a great office chair as well in terms of functions, looks and value.

The Epic will be too small for your legs like any other chair with racing banding on the sides. That Orange looks OK but like many other 'designer' office chairs it's just mesh.

I saw 'positive' reviews for one of the very expensive designer office mesh chairs, despite the fact they mentioned it had also eroded belt hooks on two pairs of trousers. That mesh isn't a patch on a solid chair for comfort or looks whatever the price or designer IMO.

Not easy finding a high grade black leather office chair as good as and with as many functions as the Hero for the same price. I spent a long time looking. Plenty of low grade leather office chairs lacking functions with soft foam and composite 'leather' that eventually rubs away AKA many a cheap leather sofa.

Thanks for your response. My only worry with the Hero is the distance between the armrest as I'm a console gamer and I like my arms close to my body, resting on the armrests.

The chair I mentioned above (orangebox) has arm rests that swivel around infinitely... The pivot point is off centre, therefore swivelling them can move them towards and away from your body. They are also height adjustable and length adjustable too. The cushion length of the chair is also adjustable. It's a solid chair - maybe past chairs like it have let you down, but I have one of these and they're really robust.

I had a look at the Orangebox Being Me model and it was the most comfortable chair I have sat in but I can't pull the trigger on it as I need more warranty information first and there are not many sellers. Where did you purchase your Orangebox Chair?
