Its ergonomically designed body-hugging shape, coupled with the use of high-quality materials, makes it a chair worth considering. So, if you’re serious about gaming, you should definitely check out the Noblechairs Legend (White Edition).
Unboxing and assembly
The chair needs to be assembled and comes well-protected in its huge and heavy box with plenty of bubble wrap and foam. I was impressed with how well the chair was packed in, with no moving parts and nothing rubbing or causing abrasion on the seat or backrest. In the accessories box, you will find a plastic container with the very minimal screws you’ll need and a hexkey/screwdriver combined tool.
The instructions are printed on premium-feeling plastic-coated paper and are easy to understand, with clear pictures that walk you through the process. It starts with flipping the seat upside down and bolting in the second arm, followed by the mechanical control box and the handles. Then, pop the wheels on the base, attach the gas-powered pillar and cover, and slot one into the other. It’s all very straightforward.
What followed next was a little tricker, however. There is a safety screw inside the back adjust arm that needs removing, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get the included tool to bite on it enough to loosen it, so I had to resort to one of my own screwdrivers. I’m unsure if this is a common problem, but I’d recommend having a Phillips screwdriver on hand, just in case. Then came the challenge of attaching the back section to the pillars. It’s definitely more manageable with a friend to help you!
Once this is done, it’s just a case of fixing the covers, and you’re done. All in all, it was a pretty straightforward affair that didn’t take too long to complete. The chair also comes with a lower back cushion and headrest cushion that affixes to it with an elastic strap.
Design and Features of the Noblechairs Legend (White Edition)
The Noblechairs Legend (White Edition) is a fantastically comfortable, supportive, and premium chair. While a gaming chair at heart, sporting that ‘could be in a luxury car’ vibe, it isn’t over the top as some gaming chairs can be. This chair feels just as comfortable in a gaming setup as it does in an office environment. This is in part due to its more streamlined design aesthetic.
Price-wise, the chair retails for £419.99 for the Noblechairs Legend (White Edition). However, there are discounts on other colour schemes (the char comes in Black, White, Java, Black/Red and a Grey Shure Edition in faux leather or Grey in fabric). You can also pick this chair up in a limited edition Starfield-themed (and in fact, their other chair styles also have plenty of limited-edition tie-ins to pick from, such as Fallout and Star Wars). The price-to-quality ratio is definitely there, and this is reflected in the premium and durable materials used.
As a bigger guy, I was impressed with the ample seat space, the comfort and the support offered by the tall back. I love the look and design of this chair; it shows its heritage but feels modern and a lot more understated than a lot of ‘racing style’ chairs on the market. The adjustments also all work exceptionally well. The class-4 gas lift is powerful enough to support my weight, and the back adjustment, while a little clunky, offers decent recline. You can also lock it in place if you don’t like too much movement in your chair. On carpet, the castors work really well.
This chair probably won’t be comfortable for people under 5’10” because the lowest seating position is too high off the ground. The maximum weight limit is 150kg, and the height limit is 200cm, so it will support various body types.
I was initially worried about the faux leather used to cover the seat and back, but the expertly crafted German PU Leather feels incredibly durable, and I haven’t noticed that stickiness when sitting on the chair in shorts that often puts me off having faux or real leather seating. It’s also easy to clean, which, when you have a white chair, is definitely reassuring!
The Noblechairs Legend (White Edition) has all the usual adjustments, such as 4D armrests (more on them in a moment), reclining, height and tilt adjustment, and lumbar support adjustment. Its upright position definitely promotes good posture, and I’ve found myself slouching a lot less than normal when typing or gaming. If you cannot use the in-built lumbar support due to its position, then the chair also comes with two foam cushions – one for lumbar and one for the headrest. I find myself using the headrest cushion as when sitting back in the chair without it. If I don’t, I’m too far back to correctly see the screens of my computer at a comfortable angle. Each user, of course, will vary in terms of preferences, and the fact the Noblechairs Legend (White Edition) provides so much adjustability is fantastic to see.
If I can find any fault with the Noblechairs Legend (White Edition), it would be in its armrests. While the 4D adjustability is great, they feel a little unstable and will shake if moved. I also found them uncomfortable to lean on for an extended period. This is a common issue with most chairs, however, due to very few having enough padding, and one I fix with cloth-padded slip-on covers.
