Assembly

Looking at the provided installation manual is a good idea before assembling and using such a chair since it illustrates every assembly step. If another person is nearby, do recruit them to help you with the assembly as another pair of hands will make it much more straightforward.

Initial Impression

Having many gaming chairs in our lab, it is evident that the EPIC Compact is, well, compact. It looks petite. noblechairs states that this model is meant for those who are 125–170 cm (4.1–5.6 ft.) tall. However, having had it for a couple of weeks, I can now happily report that it is more flexible than that, and its sports bucket shape and colors make it best suitable for gaming environments. That said, as per all their chairs, noblechairs did put this model through some tests for such certifications as DIN EN 1335-1/2 and BIFMA to ensure it can safely be used in offices as well.


The EPIC Compact has ergonomic amenities that make for a good sitting experience if you like denser cushioning. There are many color combinations to choose from, including of course the black, carbon, and red combination of our sample.


The other color combinations are black/carbon and black/carbon/blue, and there are two different upholstery materials to choose from, PU or the fabric from the TX Series Line—breathable and with a durable, comfortable fleece backing.
