What I'll say here is that even if they use the same OEM, one company can still offer a better product than another. Remember that OEMs build products to meet a specification. The same applies to power supplies.
Based on what I can see, the base on Noblechairs' designs is different to what Corsair used in its T2 chairs. I believe that was the component that failed for you? IIRC, Corsair also moved to a different design with its T3, something which I think specifically mitigates the issue you had.
Basically, you can tell OEMs to build to a cheapo "good enough" spec or get them to make higher quality products. Also, as far as support goes, it's easier to find the right people to contact to get smaller companies like noblechairs to help you.
I agree that most of these "gaming chairs" are just companies jumping on the same OEM for some extra product diversity, but that doesn't mean that they are all the same chair (though most practically are).

Doesn't mean the materials are the same just because they look alike

Had a look at the Noblechair and the T2 there. While I don't have both here in person for a side-by-side comparison I can say that the parts are different. Parts can have the same shape and serve the same purpose and be different materially.
Yes, most of the parts look the same, but that doesn't mean they are the same. OEMs build to spec, and their customers define that specification.
If most "gaming chairs" are terrible, it's because the company behind either isn't paying for quality or don't have an eye for good components.

Which one are you using?... I tried both the Hero and Icon, of the new Black Edition line up. For a chair that costs $500, I found it very strange that you can't tilt the seat itself, but you can tilt the entire chair.
This resulted in the front of the seat actually pinched the under side of my legs and made me sit as almost you sit in a pot. Weren't comfortable at all unfortunately.

Yup. There goes their classy image.

Epic with real leather.

All made in the same factory in china, All use the same cheap steel to increase profit margins, Not saying they cannot be comfortable, My T2 has made my butt and back feel amazing but I wouldn't trust Corsair, Noblechairs, DXRacer etc.... long term.

Again as WYP and I have said, you don't know if the materials are the same and they could be made with better quality specifications set by NobleChairs. You're just being pessimistic.
Noblechairs have a good reputation and I don't see any reason to doubt the quality of their chair just because they put different leather designs on it.

TBH, I am kinda looking for a new chair right now. Currently using a Nitro Concepts E200, and while it is still serving me well, it has had about five years of wear and tear at this point.
For a £150 chair that's pretty decent. It's still comfortable for me, but it's reaching the end of its time. I'll need to consider what my next chair will be, as I see myself needing a new one within a year or so.
Not sure what I will go for when the time comes. Noblechairs is on the list of contenders.

My brother has a Noblechair, 1 of the expensive ones, Same exact undercarriage as my T2, Not just the same layout, But the exact same one, These companies are all the same, Get a generic undercarriage, Make a gamery aesthetic and they say "we're totally different from everyone else".
Which one does he have because I just checked the T2 and Mine is not the same.

I think it was the NobleChairs Epic, Minus a few plastic moulded parts the undercarriage is identical.

Yeah, the one material that makes an already sweaty person by nature, feel like he has Niagara Falls on his back during summer etc...
Loss for them not to include it on all of their chairs.
