Hi all,
Well it had to happen, I sit on this chair for 8-18 hours a day, I am 125Kg, I got roughly 3 years of use out of it (second hand bought).

Looking for something that can handle my weight and large frame.

While I would love to go the secondhand route again I am open to getting a Noble Hero.

It has got to be hard wearing and very comfortable.

The Hero is the only "gaming" chair I would consider, I think that will be what I go with after the weekend.

What has gone on it as most of these higher-end workstation chairs can be serviced?

I couldn't sit in a gaming chair for long periods like you mentioned not enough adjustment.

Back left side bar holding the back on has snapped, both armrests are now held together with duct tape as the foam has fallen apart, Something has snapped in the lower part of the chair.

I think the Please chair is rated for 120Kg I am 125 and during stream my dog likes to sit on me + 12kg or if it is berty + 30kg

My own fault.

Hmmm looking at the Humanscale freedom at the moment.

The Hero is still my best option I think, if any are still in stock by Monday.

Okay still looking because I like the look of the Steelcase Amia it is now between that and the hero, my only concern on the Hero is the comfort of the seat

@Calranthe What's your budget?

I actually ended up going for the AKRacingMax will do a review of it after using for a month, it is really comfortable, large, the lumbar pillow fits me fine and it comes with a 5 year material 10 years steal frame warranty.

Yes it is quite stiff using the same kind of cold pressed foam but I only notice it after 4 hours in the seat.
