Overall Impression

Many users report major back and posture improvements after switching to the Iskur V2. Multiple commenters describe long-standing back, neck and lumbar pain disappearing within weeks of using the chair, even during 5-8 hour gaming or work sessions. Users of varying builds, from lean to heavier frames, credit the adjustable or well-shaped lumbar support for locking their spine into a correct position. Several call it their most comfortable chair yet, crediting the redesigned bolsters and firmer-but-supportive base for the improvement over the original Iskur.

Squeaking lumbar mechanisms and non-functional knobs frustrate a notable share of owners. Several buyers report squeaking sounds from the lumbar system at certain recline positions, with some needing multiple RMA replacements just to get a silent unit. Others found specific adjustment knobs, like the left lumbar dial or the under-seat knob, do nothing at all despite being shown in the documentation, suggesting cosmetic adjustments meant to imply more functionality than the chair actually has.

Seat size, firmness and long-term durability remain common sticking points. Taller or larger users describe the seat base as too small or shallow, with the lumbar mechanism placement preventing sitting far back, and some wish for an XL option. The bottom cushion is called firmer than expected by several reviewers, with a few reporting it bottoming out over time. Durability complaints include broken welds, caved seating areas, peeling leather and creaking after a year or more of use, alongside slow or difficult warranty experiences with Razer.
