Introduction
We would like to thank noblechairs for supplying the review sample.
noblechairs has already made a name for itself through pretty expensive high quality chairs that can be used in either gaming or business environments. The ICON series is among my favorites because of its unique design outside of that "omnipresent" bucket style. I have reviewed the
ICON PU Faux Leather and
ICON Real Leather already, which makes it nigh time to take a look at the ICON TX with breathable fabric, though it isn't cheap at $429.99.
That said, as most of you have probably realized, good chairs are expensive, but buy a good one and it will last for years and won't be uncomfortable to sit in after even hours of gaming, or work. The best way to keep your back healthy is not to sit for many hours, but to get up every hour and walk for a bit. However, work (or gaming) does sometimes make time fly, and before you know it, a few hours have passed. Thus, once you get up, you might feel some discomfort, or even pain, until you have straightened out your body. Good chairs offer increased ergonomics and go easier on your back. As such, don't look at their purchase as an unnecessary expense. While many have no problem spending lots of money on GPUs and CPUs, they still prefer to buy a cheap chair from IKEA, or elsewhere, without thinking about the long-term consequences to their health due poor ergonomics.
