Fractal Design Refine

so the price in the US is $550.

Thats quite the keen price for a chair and puts them in the Herman Miller or specialist office chair price range.

A big ask for your first chair.

Though I have to say, the more I see it. The more I like it! I love the subtle grey hue and the white palette they’ve used.

it’s definitely the colour I would get too.
 
Trouble is, where can you test it? I think that's pretty critical.

I went to John Lewis recently to test a bunch of different chairs, and didn't really like any of them, even the expensive and well-rated Herman Millers.

Agreed, a chair is a long-term investment that you will use daily, it is important to be able to test it, and as @mattpj stated that price puts the FD Refine in Herman Miller and Steelcase territory and I would go with the latter in that case.
 
Got an email today saying it's rolling out in the UK. OcUK are listed as stockists but not listed on the shop yet.
 
Also interested in this, for the price seems to be good option if you want a new chair rather than a refurb
Quite a good review here -

From the Fractal website there is one of the retailers that is actually selling these, can't mention the name.

Oooh a review.

I’m going to enjoy watching this.

I’m finding the design more and more alluring.
 
Mine arrived today, black / dark fabric, very easy to setup, coming from Noble Epic the Fractal is far better

Looks decent, with a decent warranty that i reckon you could even trust being Fractal.

But i can't see mine dying anytime soon being a decent one already, and i barely use atm.
 
After some adjusting last night and this morning I think I've got it the way I like it for sitting. Only time will tell but it used a cold cured foam same as the Noble chairs it feels very supportive.
 
Very close to ordering one of these.

I'm still using an old Steelcase Leap V2 that I got second hand, but it's a bit worse for wear these days and I'd like something with a headrest and breathable fabric.
