We would like to thank noblechairs for supplying the review sample.


In April 2017, I reviewed the EPIC gaming chair from noblechairs. After four years of almost daily use, that chair is still intact, and as opposed to some other chairs from different brands in the same price range, it still looks as if it had been bought a week ago. If the new noblechairs EPIC Compact series is built with as much care and similar materials, its steep price may even be justified. The EPIC Compact comes in two different upholstery types, fabric and PU, with the latter an additional 20 euros. Alterations to the Compact over the older EPIC give it a more simplified, sportive look.

Packaging


Looks and size of the cardboard box are telling, as we immediately knew that a gaming chair had arrived. All chairs are large, which is why such a large, heavy box is used. noblechairs has not changed its shipping packaging in years now, but there is no reason to given it is robust. As per usual, several details and the chair's layout have been put on the sides.
