User Experience

Before proceeding with the user experience, note that assembly was straightforward as we did not come across even the slightest of issues during assembly.



I weigh 55 kg (121.55 lb) and usually find it hard to make use of a chair's rocking mechanism because it is rather stiff. I kept on whining about it and have finally been heard. Even though the Hero series is for large users, the rocking mechanism can be adjusted to suit lighter users such as myself.

There are over four people in our lab, and all of us tried this chair out, which put a lot of impressions on the table. All models of the Hero series have the same dimensions, and the backrest can support users who are taller than 185 cm (72.83"), while the seat's base is adequate for all the different body types we here have between us. The chair's backrest recline maxes out at 135 degrees, which is not much compared to other chairs, but should you happen to want to relax a bit more by propping your feet up, noblechairs has also launched a matching adjustable footrest.


The seat's base for the Hero with real leather was quite a surprise, mainly because we were used of previous noblechairs models having really dense cushioning. This time around, the seat's cushioning was kind of bouncy, all while offering a balanced hold. It is very comfortable!


Even though the Hero is one of the most comfortable chairs we have tried out thus far, we did not bother removing the two cushions, probably because we are accustomed to having them around. However, while the lumbar-support cushion is very comfortable and squishy, it has no straps, which means you are rearranging it every time you sit down.


The armrests are wider than the rest of noblechairs' models, and more comfortable because they have plenty of padding. Yet they are firm enough to support larger and heavier arms as well.


The caster wheels are similar to those other noblechairs models are equipped with, roll on demand, and are silent on flat surfaces. However, since we have a laminate surface in our lab, we use a plastic mat, and the Hero's caster wheels actually had a slightly harder time rolling across the plastic mat than the laminate surface.


All ergonomic adjustments were easily made. Since we have all noblechair models in our facilities, some of them for quite some time by now, we can say that a noblechairs gaming chair will keep on performing flawlessly for many years to come. Producing the real leather upholstery takes handiwork, which obviously led to the flaws with the chair's cover on our sample.
