Noblechair Java Edition Gaming Chair Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The noblechairs HERO Gaming Chair is available right now from OCUK, with prices starting at just £379.99 for the standard colour editions, up to £419.99 for the newer Java Edtion I have. There are some really freaking sweet game editions and other limited edition chairs too, which are the same chair, but with new skins, and are well worth checking out.

Overview

There’s no getting away from the fact that noblechair is one of the more premium brands, and that does mean they come with hefty price tags. However, over the years, they’ve proven time and time again that they’re one of the leading brands with award-winning build quality and customer service. Before I switched to noblechairs, I would wear out a cheap chair from Argos in about six months, then sit in discomfort for another six months till I can be arsed to replace it; no wonder I had severe sciatic issues then.

Their build quality is simply incredible, and surprisingly still cheaper than some other premium gaming chair brands too. But mostly it’s making an investment, I used to spend more on cheap chairs over the course of five years than I would on one premium chair that’s going to last longer than that.

I have had my old chair for a long time and didn’t really need to replace it, but hey, sometimes it’s just nice to have nice things, and I absolutely fell in love with the new Java Edition as soon as they revealed it. I didn’t think the switch from the old PU leather to the new Hybrid PU leather would be that big a deal either, but I’ve actually had the Java for a few months now (naughty me, putting off writing this feature). The material retains its texture and grip better and doesn’t suffer the inevitable shine that can often appear on some PU leather materials from extended wear.

The little details are nice too, such as the slow evolution of their armrest designs, the chrome dials and levels, improved stitching and more. So overall, this is an expensive chair, but it certainly delivers on all its promises and more. Plus, it gets bonus points from me just for being brown, in a market that’s so dominated by garish gamer designs, this feels like a pleasing distraction.
