CONCLUSION

   The HERO Real Leather model by noblechairs is nothing sort of impressive, not only because of its near excellent build quality but also because of its features and very good comfort levels. Now, the reason I say near excellent build quality is because I did find some slight stitching issues (primarily at the rear of the seat) which honestly did surprise me a bit but that's not something i haven't seen countless time with other gaming chairs (this could of course be an isolated issue with my sample, that’s obviously always a possibility). That aside however everything else was on par with what you’d expect from what is the most expensive noblechairs model today. The lumbar support feature can certainly be of use for some people but what really steals the show is the top grain leather quality and of course the sufficient cold foam padding noblechairs has used. Yes, since the real leather used is quite thick initial comfort levels may not be quite on par with a “softer” faux leather HERO model but things do improve as time goes by (in my case it took over 20 days). Unfortunately, noblechairs doesn’t have limited edition designs with the real leather of their HERO gaming chair and even though i do suspect there’s a good reason for this (cost makes this more of a chair for grown ups and not teenagers) i also believe that they would sell well.

   The HERO Real Leather gaming chair by noblechairs already counts just over 3 years in the market and currently retails for USD719.99 inside the USA (noblechairs.com) and for 669.90Euros inside the EU (Caseking.de) so yes, it costs a considerable amount of money. That being said its build quality is indeed second to none so if that’s your number one goal you simply can’t go wrong with it. On the other hand, if you’re not looking for a real leather gaming chair the limited-edition HERO chairs could be a better option for you (will look at some of those soon). At the end of the day however the HERO Real Leather Premium Gaming Chair by noblechairs clearly sits at the top of that specific segment of the market and that’s why it gets the Platinum Award.
