Thought I'd give some quick feedback on the Noble Epic (leather) after I finally got one today.
The quality is really good and very easy to put together, took about 10 minutes or so no problems.
As was posted above it is very firm chair but hopefully it will soften up with time as fiveub mentioned as I'm finding it a little too firm at the moment.
What I hadn't counted on is how high it is at the lowest setting, my DX-Racer is very low as at the lowest setting but this is about the same height at lowest setting as the DX-Racer is a highest so for me at 5'7" that is a little awkward and sometimes I like to put it really low to stretch my legs/relax.
The back is very flat and firm, it has no curve and I find using the cushion puts your back in an unnatural curve, I've only used it for a few hours but already starting to get a bad back.
I like the armrests but wish the rotation arm rests locked in place because when you grab them to move/get into the chair they rotate then.
It's not as "bucket seat" as I expected, the photos make it look more hugging than it is on the base.
So overall at this stage, you can tell it is a high quality chair but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to use it for long periods, in fact the time typing this has been quite painful on my back and I don't normally have issued with that. The DX-Racer would probably have been a better purchase I think (if there was stock) as I found that much more comfortable.
