In the radio shack
It's been a couple of weeks since I took delivery of my new Noble Chairs Hero Black Edition and I've deliberately waited a bit before posting just in case I had any problems with it.

I bought it to replace the Ikea Markus I had in the office and these two are like chalk and cheese! The Markus is fine but the Noble takes it to a new level for comfort and adjustability. I had taken the fixed arms off the old chair because they weren't in a very good position but I'm not even considering doing that with the Noble. The arms can move in and out, up and down, forwards and backwards and I hadn't realised but the armrests can actually rotate around the centre point as well. I've had an older Hero chair for a couple of years and I had no idea that they could do this.

I've moved my old Hero into the office and the new Black Edition is in my radio shack which is where I spend most of my time now (having been made redundant earlier this year). The new cover is described as "new vinyl imitation leather material cover" and it's noticably different from my older chair - This actually smells like a new car and after setting it up in my shack, it was like getting into a new car every time I came in! A couple of weeks later, it's still lingering in the air.

Construction was a breeze. The box the chair came in is huge and heavy and needed two of us to move it to the front room for assembly. I fitted the wheels to the base first and then moved the base upstairs to assemble the rest of the chair in situ. Following the instructions by the letter, the whole thing went together in about half an hour with no problems whatsoever.

A couple of other nice changes are the Noble logos on the lumbar adjuster and the seat back lever. I don't go out of my way to look at them but they make me smile if I spot the light shining off them when I come in.

I knew before buying that this was going to be a comfortable chair because of my previous experience and I wasn't wrong. Once set up and adjusted to how I like, it's probably the most comfortable chair I've owned and I can sit here for hours without any discomfort, whether I'm working and typing or whether I pull my steering wheel over and start blatting around the track in F1 2017.

It's really difficult to photograph a dark chair in a messy environment but here it is. There are plenty more pictures on the OcUK website that do it a lot more justice than my snap.

(As a side note, my son bought the Fallout edition and he adores it. He's a big lad at 6ft 5in and it has plenty of adjustments to fit his size)

The bottom line, if you're looking for a good, solid, comfortable chair with loads of adjustments and a nice new car smell then you really can't go wrong.

@Feek how's the material vs leather? Does it make you hot?
No, not at all. It's in my radio shack where the temperature has been ridiculously hot over the last few weeks (it's 27°C in here now) and it doesn't feel warm to the touch at all. I live in shorts throughout the summer and the covering still feels cool to the backs of my legs.
 
Hello Feek, could you tell me diferences between Hero PU and Black Edition? I see you have two of them and i cant decide whith one i will buy. I want to know only compare three things.

1) They're both the same regarding comfort, they're both firm chairs and I don't think I could tell the difference between them.
2) They're both the same regarding how they feel on hot days
3) The first Hero I bought was black with red trim and it looks fabulous, the red trim really sets it off nicely. However the Black Edition one also looks great, it has some subtle differences with regard to metal trim but really, they both look great. If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with the Black Edition simply because it smells like a new car :D

Hope that helps.
 
Thanks for answer, very helpfull for me, in my Country PU is much cheaper than Black Edition so if there are not more diferences than smell or small look details i will choose PU.
I think you're confusing things - Neither of my chairs are real leather but the material used for the Black Edition is newer, it's different to the black/red version I already had.
 
Sorry to bother you mate but i was wondering I could pick you brains about your Hero Chair and how you are getting on with it? My 8 year old, back crippling, chair of amazon has finally given up the ghost and looking to fire a few questions at someone trustworthy that has a noblechairs Hero
Sorry, I missed your tag - Yes, it's still just as good as when I got it. The only thing that's a little sad is that the 'new car' smell I mentioned has finally vanished.

I got my hero black edition a few weeks back. I can say it’s a massive improvement from my old office chair. The noble chair can be really good for your back due to the support it offers. Give me a shout if you have any questions.
Yes, I agree with this - I'm using my Black Edition in my radio shack and my original black/red in the office. I've had the original one for well over eighteen months now and it still looks brand new.

I just want to thank you for this thread
You're very welcome, I'm happy to share my experience with the chair. I'm glad you're pleased with it, I don't know what the material they use is but it's so good.
 
And yes the armrests can be adjusted from the base by just loosing the 3 screws on the sides with the allen key that's provided with the chair. :)
When I broke my shoulder, I removed the right armrest because I didn't want to inadvertently reach down and use my arm as I got out of the chair. I'd lost the sodding key and didn't have one that size so I just contacted OcUK and they sent me another one.
