As I said at the beginning of this thread, I've got a Secretlab Omega. Reading the number of people who have Titans, I began to wonder if I'd bought the wrong model.

Had another look on their site, and it turns out I haven't got the wrong size, it's just that you lot are all fat bds.

To be fair I just went on the recommended height, and at 6 foot 1 it suggested I went for the Titan. On reflection I probably would have been better with the Omega as this is a bit wide, but as it's 100x better than the Ikea POS I had beforehand I'll live.

I was looking at ordering a Titan at some stage so if you do decide you'd rather swap out to the Omega I might be interested in yours depending on the colour...!

Much obliged for the offer, however I have got used to it now and am finding it incredibly comfortable. I went for Cookies and Cream, which is more of a grey and black, but I like it - even if the black part of the base is great at showing off how often I sit at my PC and eat crisps :/

totally agree, which is what was putting me off. I'd resigned myself to sticking it in the cupboard when I have people round, since thats not an issue currently I decided to go for it. Of course now they're all sold out...

There’s certainly some wacky colour schemes but mine looks quite restrained. I like it anyway.

I've just finished up a video conf with a customer, snr manager, major pharma. He was sat in his distinctive red and black gaming chair with some sort of logo poking out from behind each side of his head.

It wasn't a good look, it looked silly to be perfectly honest. But hey, who am I to judge.

If you're client facing, I wouldn't suggest something garish.

If you get a noble chair I definitely recommend keeping your fingers out of the way when you ignore the instructions and pull the adjustment handle before assembling it. It definitely has enough force to take your fingers off.

I think mine is quite subtle - black with black suede - but yes, there are some horrific ones out there.

Sort that cushion out!

Quite like my omega, really don't see anything chav about it at all

One of the reasons I went for this Noblechair instead but ultimately beauty is in the eye of the beholder so some may find this naff.

It does look a bit like it belongs in a Mansory Range Rover

My arse doesn't care how chavvy.... .... and no one else gets to see in my office, unless I chose to take a picture of all my chavvy tat and share it with a load of geeks, trolls and goblins on the interrwebnet.....

My noblechair has been very good quality, very comfortable. At least as comfortable as my professional desk chairs at a similar price point.

If I need to replace it, it's probably the first place I'd look.

pleased to hear it, just ordered https://www.noblechairs.co.uk/hero-series/black-ed...

pricey but did a little research and seems nice and breathable with summer just around the corner.
