Wanted an office chair that didn't squeak or moan, and after a week of use this chair is perfect! No noises at all.

Surprised by: (1) how well made/sturdy/mostly made of metal, nothing cheap about this chair, (2) 8 screws total/great large printed instructions/8 steps, (3) Three tilting adjustments for the seat alone and four adjustments for the arm rests, and (4) I'm 5'8" 160 lbs and the lumbar support is perfect for me and the rest of the chair oddly fits my frame perfectly (not exaggerating).

Really surprised by: (1) the seat has an edge that basically hold your legs in or it is possible to exert a lot of pressure, outwards, with you legs against the cushioned-edge of the seat which for gaming keeps me in the seat, (2) how adjustable the seat/height/arm-rest are, when I say unlimited it's sort of true; I keep making fine tuned adjustments and I've never had such few problems sitting in a chair or getting out of one i.e. a couch is either too low or saggy or too cushiony and getting out of one leaves me feeling sore at different parts of my body, and (3) the pedestal is awesome, this chair sits on tile and all other chair get caught on the hills/valleys of tiles--not this chair, it rolls absolutely flat

Complaint: (1) heavier people might find the seat too hard over long periods of time (2) it is a large chair, at 5'8" the top of the chair almost comes up to my chin, that's not bad, it is that this chair has a lot of mass and takes up space (for anyone with those concerns).

I would definitely buy this chair again!

Great gaming/office chair

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2022

Color: Grey FabricPattern Name: ChairVerified Purchase

I got this on sale for $350 and at that price it can't be beat. You get the features and performance of a chair 3 times the price (cough. Herman Miller. cough).

Some quick thoughts below (not going to repeat official specs you can find elsewhere)
(1) Very well put together. I have had 2 other gaming chairs and both used to creak or otherwise protest under routine usage (swiveling/leaning back/wheeling etc) but this doesn't (or at least not much)
(2) The color is muted, not much bling (unlike most Razer products - no LEDs or neon accents). Lettering on the chair fades into the color scheme as well. All of that to say - other than the silhouette/profile, this can pass for an office chair on Zoom calls.
(3) The adjustable lumbar support is a game changer. One of my favorite features of this chair.
(4) The seat is a bit firm. I would have like slightly softer cushioning or a way to adjust that ;-) but maybe I am asking for too much.
(5) The box is BIG and HEAVY. A definite 2 people lift. I had to get this down to my basement down a narrow and steep set of stairs, ended up unboxing the chair upstairs and carrying the parts down.
(6) Easy to setup alone - actually a fair bit is pre-assembled, just a matter of throwing things together and tightening a few bolts. On that front, some of it seems over-engineered or a bit "extra". For instance, the small caps that go on top of the bolts to cover them up are different for the left and the right side. I don't understand what purpose that serves, wouldn't it have been easier to make them interchangeable.

All in all, if you are looking for a great office/gaming chair with excellent lumbar support and all the features you may need, look no further.

A great chair, as long as you check your enthusiasm :) .

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2022

Color: Grey FabricPattern Name: ChairVerified Purchase

After a week of sitting in the Iskur Fabric I'm happy to recommend this chair, as long as you can balance the strong advertising hype surrounding gaming chairs with the reality :). At 38, 5'10" and 230lbs, I'm within specs of the standard size chair but also probably not the typical user. Not sure there is any chair out there that can fit everyone's needs. Teens and twenty-somethings are most likely the target market, but also may not fully appreciate one of the main features of this chair: the adjustable lumbar support. I was looking for a chair that was solid and supportive, but also had a little gaming flair and this chair is a great fit for that.

Assembly was very easy, although some pieces are quite heavy (in a good way). The full metal legs feel very strong. The wheels seem like the typical office variety but might be a little slow considering the weight of the chair. I'm considering adding some rollerblade wheels. The tops of the armrests feel just a little wobbly, but also they can be adjusted in every direction.

The lumbar support is great and just what I was looking for. The support is not a weak pillow, but very solid and is completely adjustable thanks to a gas piston inside the chair. The whole chair hugs the body and for better or worse kind of forces the user to sit in an ergonomic position. I don't think someone much larger than me would be comfortable in the chair though as the sides of the seat do press in on my legs just a bit as is. However, again this was just what I was looking for as it helps me sit up straight and not slouch or tilt to the side like in my previous chair.

For my height the headrest and neck pillow fit me just right. If I was much shorter, the head pillow would hit the back of my head and not my neck. As is it is very comfortable and a nice change from my short-backed chair. The foam in the chair is somewhat rigid, and may not be suitable for someone who is using their chair in a full-time job. However, for a few hours of gaming this level of hardness keeps me from sinking into a bad posture.

The muted styling of the fabric chair is just what I was looking for. I wanted something that looked fun but also wasn't childish, and Razer struck a great balance with this one. The fabric is very breathable but also feels very sturdy. The Razer logo is on the chair in several places, but doesn't jump out like in other styles.

To recap, as a part-time gamer/most-time adult, this chair does a great job of balancing my needs. If you're trying to find a chair that says "Don't worry buddy, you're still cool" while also supporting your aging back, this might be the one for you :) .

Not comfortable at all (until you break it in)

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023

Color: Grey FabricPattern Name: ChairVerified Purchase

EDIT: After a week of owning this chair, I must say, you get used to it. And thus, I will be giving it another three stars. Some of the things mentioned below still bother me a bit, but overall, this is a very high quality chair that you need to get used to. Although the lumbar support is still a bit annoying, it is possible to push it even further back with a lot of force. I also recommend a foot rest. That will give you a much more natural position and your legs won't be hanging.

It's a very stiff chair all around and nothing will change that. If you don't mind to be on the firm side, you will get used to it. The back ache this chair was giving me is no longer there thankfully. And I can say with confidence that I could sit all day on it with major issues.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was very excited to replace my 6 year-old generic brand "gaming chair" with a higher end chair and after some research I came across this one.

I've read amazing reviews about it and I could not wait to finally get it. But I must say I am disappointed. This chair has so many negatives that I'm trying to find a way to cope with the fact that I spend so much money on it.

1) Comfort. This chair is not comfortable at all. Yes, the cushioning is hard as a rock, but that is not the problem. I like firm chairs and that is fine with me. The problem is that it is almost impossible to find a relaxed position that won't give me what this chair mainly advertises, which is back pain. With my old chair, I had zero back pain and could stay on it for an entire day. Ten minutes on this Razer Izkur chair and my lower back is screaming in agony. The main issue is the built-in lumbar support. It just does not work. It's constantly pressing on your lower back and in my case it will trigger a really back pain after a few minutes. I tried adjusting it as far back as possible, but that won't mitigate it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

2) Lack of shoulder support. Without the headrest pillow, your head and shoulders are pushed back too far, making the lumbar support hurt even more, as you're pretty much bent backwards on your lower spine. With the headrest pillow, you are now forced to maintain a straight position with your neck in the air, and your shoulders are just floating. This not only triggers neck pain, but also back pain.

3) Lack of thigh support. You feel like you're floating side to side on this chair.

4) Chair is too high. Even on the lower setting, this chair is simply too high and your legs never feel like in a proper resting position. I am 6'1-6'2 (170lb) and feel like my legs are hanging. This also makes it impossible to play racing games with my sim wheel stand.

It's not all negatives though. The materials are great and the build quality is far superior than any generic spam brands. This chair will last a decade or more, just by looking at it and feeling it. The fabric feels amazing.

Back pain relief!

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022

Color: Grey FabricPattern Name: ChairVerified Purchase

This chair does great! I'm 6'1" and 200lbs, and it does a pretty good job keeping your back in a neutral position. The arm rests really help ensure proper weight distribution, and keeping your arms in a comfortable position. Noticed less stress on my wrists once i started using this chair (gotta keep the arm rest level with the desk top). The lumbar adjustment is pretty good, but what makes it work is the fact that the chair can tilt back. I'm not talking about reclining, the entire bottom cushion tilts back. This allows the weight of your own body to push you against the lumbar, and takes the strain off your upper and lower back to sit properly in the chair. The bottom cushion is a bit stiff at first, but after a month, it gives a little and almost conforms? It's weird to explain. Anyways, make sure you have the proper foot placement too. If you need a foot cushion on the floor to make sure you're not straining your knees or sciatic, do so. All around an excellent design. I definitely prefer the cloth design, as you don't stick to the chair! It breaths nicely. The neck support pillow is a nice touch. For me I can put it right under the base of my skull, and it pretty much supports my head weight. Great chair, would recommend to buy if you are working from home all day, or want a gaming chair that will make gaming comfortable and enjoyable.

I’m on day one of assembly while writing this part. I will update this stuff milestones to give a more in depth honest review.

To start, I work and game in the same area of my home office and this review will be based on around 70hrs of use a week weighing 200 lbs. I have daily back pain which can get so bad that breathing is restricted. Mid to lower back pain.

Day1: Assembly is fairly self explanatory although use the QR and the instructions so you know where the longer bolts go. As someone who suffers with back pain and games / works in the same chair for my 9-5 plus gaming, I had instant pressure relief sitting after initial adjustment. Only con out of the box I am noticing is the right recliner level feels a bit clunky and crunchy.my like something is a little out of place. May be my chair, but it diminutions fine but out of everything that’s all I noticed. Along with my weight I am 5’10, 36” waist so note that the side edge on the bucket seat are just about as snug as it should be, any tighter and it would be returned for the XL chair.

2 Weeks In: It was a little hard to adjust to. The initial relief turned into discomfort fast. It took a little fine tuning to adjust the seat and back support to my liking but I have dialed it in for myself and now I am probably 150 hours of sitting pain free. I do have about an Ince butt fusion though just because the seat is naturally very firm. To be continued!

DO NOT BUY THIS CHAIR. Built to break within 3 months.

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2022

Color: BlackPattern Name: ChairVerified Purchase

So, I was super excited to get this chair. The lumbar support looked amazing, armrests, and leather of the seat. The chair was awesome for the first 3 months I had it. Then, it broke. I wasn't even aware it was broken I thought it was just loose and I needed to tighten the fasteners.

The tilt control plate on this chair is defective, and Razer is aware of it. Mine broke a month after the return window closed. The stem that attaches to the gas lift on this chair has a two point weld that covers the front and back. If you lean AT ALL to the sides, YOU WILL BREAK THIS CHAIR. Does not matter your weight, if you at all LEAN to either side of this chair it is going to break within a month.

I have been back and forth with Razer support trying to get a replacement seating plate, Part H on the part list of this chair, which is what you will need when this chair breaks, and it will, trust me. They sent me everything but the plate.

I don't even know what to do with this chair, it's completely useless at this point and I've been without a proper seat for 2 months. If I could, I would get refunded and be on with my life, but this chair is LITERALLY sold to break after you are unable to return it. Now, I am out $500, and will have to save to buy another chair. Also, I will have to repair it and disassemble it on a monthly basis for the extent of the 3 year warranty, while dealing with their support which is extremely subpar and waiting for parts. It will take about a month total time for you to get a replacement plate by the way.

I wish Razer would just give my money back honestly. This chair has left me with a huge distaste for them as a company and I will probably never buy another product from them again. Chair should not be sold as is to be honest and it should be marked down to $150 and taken off the market.

Solidly-built chair, but not comfortable, needs additional cushions

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2021

Color: Black/GreenPattern Name: ChairVerified Purchase

I put together the chair myself, and the assembly of the chair took about an hour. Connecting the back of the chair to the seat was the toughest part, trying to get the screwholes to line up. May have been simpler to assemble with two people. One of the screw covers on the right side of the chair did not fit snugly, but everything else was seated well.

The chair has a lot of adjustable features: can raise, tilt, the armrests are solid and adjust in many directions, and can shift back and forth. The wheel casters are solid and support my 180lb frame.

The lumbar support feature is OK but the built-in pad for me is too low, which it was poised a little higher. I'm a bodybuilder type so there is more support needed for my upper back rather than my lower back.

The worst part of the chair is the seat cushion - it's way too firm for my liking. The cushion presses back against you instead of allowing your weight to sink in, so it's not comfortable pushing up against your gluts and privates area. And the upper-middle back support is also not very comfortable.

So I had to buy a memory-foam seat cushion for the seat, and also a lumber-support pillow for my upper back. Maybe I'm too used to a plusher seat cushion from my old Global fake-leather office chair.

However the Razer head memory-foam pillow is good, and sits well on top of the extra lumbar/back cushion I attached. I wish Razer had put more memory foam in the seat and upper back to make the chair more comfortable than it is.

Now the chair feels pretty good with my cushion modifications, but not perfect. If you like firm chairs then this may be good chair for you. But if you like a chair more plush then you will be having to trial-and-error a few seat cushions.

Here's the Amazon links for cushions I had to strap to the chair that I measured to fit.

Comficlouds Lumbr Support Pillow for the upper back
I seated this one above the chair's built in lumber-support mechanism. Note the product link shows a white colored pad but the one I got was black-colored
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XNP26PR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

ObusForme Sit-Back Cushion for the seat:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CTTI2Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
* Note for this seat cushion it has a ridge in the middle that can also press up against your private areas, but I was able to remove the cover and used heavy-duty scissors to cut down the foam ridge, and now the memory foam cushion works better.

I have never spent more than $150 on an office chair before. Once we all started working from home, I decided I had to make the investment when my old chair started to fall apart. This chair has stood the test of time and is still very comfortable, and nothing has fallen off since I bought it 2 years ago. I waited a long time to review it to know for sure how well it would hold up.

Lots of functionalities, okay comformt, not built to last

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023

Color: Grey FabricPattern Name: ChairVerified Purchase

This is a review after one year and nine months of using this chair. It might get pretty long so here is the TL;DR - I would not recommend buying this chair, especially not at its current price.

I bought this chair when it was just launched. With the launch promotion and other discounts, I only paid $299. Upon unboxing, the overall feeling is that the build quality is premium. At that price, this chair initially feels like a great buy.

Assembling is fairly straightforward. A bit cumbersome, but this is a chair with a lot of functionalities, so no complaints here. Plus, it comes with clear assembly instructions. The fabric also feels premium (relative to its price). And this is about all the good things I have to say.

Now comes the not-so-good and the bad. The first thing I noticed is that the seat cushion is too stiff. For the first week or so, the part of my legs that was in constant contact with the edge of the side cushion (those two vertical-ish pieces on the left/right side) started to hurt a little. After nearly two years, those cushions are still stiff. They no longer hurt my legs though, but I think it's actually my legs got toughened up ... I'm not a big guy (155 lbs), so I imagine for bigger dudes those side cushions are gonna chafe against their legs even harder. And the tilt function of the backrest is also not very "friendly" to me. I need to lean back real hard to make it tilt, to a point where I can no longer leaning back relaxingly and watch a movie because the chair always wants to bounce me back to straight-up position. Maybe this is by design since this is a gaming chair. But I do feel it's probably just not built for folks of my size.

Its armrests have loads of adjustments. But with a lot of moving parts comes the issue that it wobbles quite a bit. This doesn't bother me that much but depending on the individual, it might bother you. What bothers me is that after several months, those adjustable parts of the armrest start to make squeaking sound. Every time I shift my body a little while my elbow resting on it, or moving my arm between the keyboard and the mouse, it squeaks. I don't think it is just me being unlucky and got a faulty product. I think it's because many cheap parts are used because they tried to build a relatively cheap chair that has as many adjustability as those thousand-dollar ones in the market.

All these issues above, I can still live with. But about a month ago, the cylinder started to give out. As a result, the chair would slowly get lower as I sat in it. This is a big problem for me because oftentimes I would be too focused at work or at playing games and not realizing the chair is too low until my shoulder or neck started to hurt. Now, I already developed the habit of getting up and adjusting the chair to my desired height every hour or so. Good for me in a way, I guess, since it forces me to get up and move around. But I don't enjoy it a bit. And this has become a major annoyance to me.

To make matters worse, when I looked it up on the Razer website, it tells me that my chair is no longer covered by the limited warranty. Really? I only got one year of warranty? Maybe this is the "price" to pay for all the promotions and discounts I got. But still, to put things into perspective, you can get a good Stealcase chair at the $600-$800 price range, and I think they offer 12-year warranty...

Overall, I feel like Razer is just not as good at making chairs as they are at making keyboards and mice. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this chair at its current price. If you have $500 to spare, then add $100 or $200 and look at other more popular brands.
