Razer Iskur XL Fabric Gaming Chair: Ergonomic Lumbar Support System - Ultra-Soft, Spill-Resistant Fabric Foam Cushions - 4D Armrests - Engineered to Carry- Foam Head Cushion - Dark Gray

I've always said that chairs are like pillows - everyone is going to have a different opinion on what is good and what feels right to them based on their preference. I'm always nervous when I buy a new chair because you almost have to sit in it at home, at your desk to see if works for you.The Iksur XL went on a sale at a price I couldn't pass up and decided to give it a go. First of all, I was extremely impressed by the packaging. Everything was packed incredibly well with foam and there were tons of inserts in the box that made it feel like a special purpose. Absolutely top notch packaging.Installation was straight forward like any other chair with the one exception being a cable that controls the lumbar support which was a new one for me. Other than that, it's just a few scrolls and attaching the base. Very straight forward.The big question...how does it feel? I'm not a big guy but based on reviews, I saw most people recommend the XL just to give you a little more seating room and I'm glad I did. Since this is a racing chair, you have boxed in sides and that might be uncomfortable to some. The XL gives you a bit more seating room. It's definitely a firm seat but I still think it's fairly comfortable and feels like it will hold up unlike the softer seats that will just get flat over time.The arms are interesting and almost feel overengineered. You can pull them inward, outward, up and down and even twist them inwards. There are a lot of options and while they are nice, I hope it holds up over time.The big feature I'd say is the lumbar support. There is an extra lever that will actually push out (or pull in) the lumbar area. Considering most chairs have little to no lumbar support, it does take some time to get used to but now that I've had the chair for a bit, I can't imagine not having it. It contours perfectly to my back and where I would slouch and lean back in my old chair, the Iskur makes me want to sit up straight with my feet on the ground. The natural seating position is just as comfortable with the lumbar support as slouching in my old chair.As for cons, it's mostly nitpicks. I've noticed the fabric on the seat is randomly wrinkled when I get up despite it being stitched pretty tight. It's not a big deal but we'll have to see how it holds up over time.It's not so much a con but worth noting is that the seat sits pretty tall. I have it on the bottom setting and it's almost too far for my desk. I with the base was a little more spread out to be lower to the ground. If you have a short desk, it could be a problem. It works for mine but barely.Overall, it's a very solid chair so far with the big feature being the lumbar support. If you are a fan of racing chairs, this one is very much worth consideration.

1 year UPDATE! I still LOVE this chair. I use it 8+ hours a day as I work from home. There have been no issues and everything is holding up fine. This chair will last for many years!!WOW - I just assembled this chair and I am very impressed. Full Disclosure, I purchased with my own money and have no affiliation with Razer and am NOT being compensated.I am 6'3 and weigh 180 pounds, so fairly skinny. I have had several chairs over the last years, office chairs, gaming chairs, $100-150 range. They all are basically cheap quality and after a few months or a year, you need to look for a new chair. I wanted to get something that is going to last and most importantly be good quality and have good back support.THIS is the KILLER chair. I got the Iskur XL, because I am tall. It was on sale on Black Friday. I have included pictures of the components, that I believe demonstrate quality. You can see plenty of other pictures of the chair itself. You will notice details like the bolts have a threadlocker (green for Razer) on them. This detail is important. Once you tighten these bolts, they should not work themselves loose. Cheap chairs the bolts constantly come loose. Razer includes a T handle allen wrench. This is a good wrench and makes the assembly so much more enjoyable. The chair lifts is Class 4, most cheaper chairs use a Class 3 lift, which if you haven't found out, they fail easily and then your chair will not maintain its vertical height. I weighed the lift and it was 2.6 pounds. This is a quality lift! The main chair bracket is heavy and durable as well.The total weight of this chair delivered is OVER 75 pounds. There are a few pounds packaging, but the chair itself is quality and heavy. The base spider is metal and good quality. The arm wrests are beefy and strong.Being 6'3, most chairs do not raise high enough for me. This chair can actually go HIGHER than I need it. I have it about 70% of the way up. So if you are taller, you can still raise it more. If I have it all the way up my toes can touch the ground, but I can not sit with flat feet.The assembly of the chair is pretty easy. About 7 bolts and fitting a few pieces. It took roughly 20 minutes and I think anyone can do it. Only tool needed is the T handle wrench included. They have a GIANT instruction page (3 foot by 3 foot) which is very good. PRO TIP for assembly: Not in the instructions - You should put grease in both holes where the lift goes (spider and bottom of chair). That way if you ever need to remove the lift, it will come out much easier. This grease will also prevent any squeaking from that area.The lumbar support on this chair is adjustable, and let me tell you it is AWESOME. I generally have it pushed all the way out, then sit in the chair and release the lever and lean back to a comfortable spot and lock the position of the lumbar support. My wife tried this chair as well and was very impressed with the back support.Arm wrests adjust up/down/front/back/in/out/twist. Incredible adjustments.The only thing I don't like about the chair is the lever to recline the back. In my opinion, that lever should be a bit longer, for more leverage. It is usable and works, but I found myself struggling at first. You need to pull the lever all the way to release. If you pull only half way it does not release. Anyone can do this, even those with small arms, just a minor improvement they could make to extend the lever and give more leverage.The head pillow is nice and is in a good position for me. When I sit in the chair I have about 1.5 inches space on each outside of my legs where the edges of the chair rise up. My legs do not touch those sides. So I feel that if you are heavier, you would still be able to comfortable fit. As a rough guide, my thigh measurement (circumfrance 1 leg) is 24 inches at the middle of the seat position. I have large thighs from biking.I love this quality chair and I think other tall people will as well. I did look at Secret Labs chairs, but I wanted to be able to return the chair for free and without hassle if I did not like, and Secret Labs does not have that option. Amazon for the win here. I will not return THIS chair. Very fair price for a VERY good quality chair!

The chair is excellent, without a doubt the materials, the lumbar support and the versatility it has is quite good, but I don't know if it is completely comfortable, I mean, I have a $60 chair that seems much more comfortable (except for the lumbar support).When I sit in the Iskur XL I feel too tight in the legs, I am a person who is 1.90, and weighs 110kg, I have quite prominent legs and hips, because of this my legs are glued to each other without any kind of mobility, plus it has a kind of leg containers in the sides which are the ones I hate the most. That makes the sirculacion of my legs is not entirely correct, after about 20 minutes and I have to move to let the blood circulate well as I fall asleep by the wings that has the chair, if only it were flat without those things that squeeze your legs would be excellent, because not everyone has small legs, my wife who is 1.60, weighs 60kg and has small legs it fits normal, neither too loose nor too tight, but this is supposed to be the damn XL, what size is the normal??, unfortunately that part can't be adjusted LIKE EVERYTHING else on the chair. I am even thinking of putting a knife through it or bending it in some way so that my legs are more free. I thought that by ordering the XL, it would be designed for people with a little overweight, but it is incredible that my $60 chair that I have next to me does take this into account and the $500 razer does not.Aside from the other things mentioned, I have no complaints, the armrests are fully adjustable, as well as the lumbar support, recline and height. The materials are of excellent quality and it is very beautiful.So if you don't have wide legs or big buttocks this product is for you.
