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!
