Great Chair For the Larger Person

I decided to treat myself to a new chair. I decided to go for an EPIC Gaming Chair by Noblechairs. At £300 it's not cheap, but almost all the others I looked at were suitable for people up to 120kg. This one went all the way up to 180kg!
I can't recall the last time I actually bought a chair like this, but I was surprised at the size of the box. Pretty large. Instantly it was apparent that this was a quality product. All the parts had good weight to them. It was well packed with some clear instructions.
It only took around 15 minutes from start to finish to put together and everything you need comes in the box.
It's certainly very comfortable and bigger than I thought, no 'squeeze' from the edges along the base or back. Lots of customisation options including the obvious height, lean of the back and lean of the whole chair but also arm rests, up/down, in/out and forward/back.
My only slight issue, I seem to have a crack in the pneumatic cover, but that's way down below and not really visible.
I guess I would also like it to be able to go a little lower as an option.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase
very cool

Every confidence that OCUK will sort this out and in turn get in touch to provide improved hydraulics for shorter people like myself. For now, want this review to stand out to warn others. I won't likely be able to use this chair without a foot rest or stand.
I am 5'7 and on the lowest high available, my feet are unable to touch the floor without big shoes on. So that means I can have my knees at right angle to relax and put least amount of pressure on my quads or knees. Called OCUK just now, and looks like they are all sitting on them, with coworker of my height in same position, unable to touch floor and legs dangling.
For a chair to call itself ergonomic it needs to hold the human body in a supported and relaxed position, not just look cool and be bucketed. My knees hurt a bit from gaming on it for 2 hours last night.
Good news is that this chair could be ideal, just need OCUK and NobleChairs to come out with a hydraulics that has a greater range of adjustment, supporting users who are 5 ft onwards.
Deserves 2.5 stars now, for tall people have nothing to complain about.
