The quality of the parts are decent, but it's a moot point, because we know that they don't hold up as well when compared to most mid tier to high end office chairs.

I have a lot of pain issues from an autoimmune disease and fwiw the Iskur v1 has been fantastic and held up very well since I bought it several years ago. My ergonomic issues are related to my desk height more than the chair at this point. Exactly the problem Colton has actually

Corrects him with "parallel" but didn't actually check to see what perpendicular meant.

Simple and effective tips from the doc, thanks for bringin him in and that "your best posture is your next posture" advice is great. I found the same tip a few years ago when looking for a new chair that are designed with that in mind. They are not usually the most comfortable but offer many posture options and encourage you to be active. Those kind of chairs will be my choice whenever possible from now on.

What?! I came for a chair review and also got a few pointers on proper chair height. Turns out I had been setting my old Iskur chair at the wrong height for the last two years. I want those two years of my life back. Not your fault, though. Thanks for bringing on the doc. And thanks for showing the assembly steps.

If that’s what you value then I can see why this would be appealing; but why not go for an established brand with lots of adjustability such as the Steelcase Leap v2/Gesture or something similar? I just have a bad impression about any major gamer brand when they make chairs. These type of racer type of seats were designed to be in sports cars to hold you in place when taking the corner at high speeds (hence the bolstering) so I’m not sure how this translates into a desk chair. I can see that you specialize in ergonomics so I won’t try to debate you. I am a plastic surgery resident so I somewhat know about posture and such but mainly deal with soft tissues; just my two cents :)

​@@StardustLegacyFighterExactly. Racing seats, which gaming chairs are modeled after, weren't designed for ergonomics or longterm comfort, they're designed to lock you in place so you don't get knocked around while taking corners and bumps at speed. A pair of stiff armrests, a couch pillow and a bit of lumbar support can only go so far to improve the ergonomics.

Love how he praised the predone screws then immediately had to do twice the work you normally would if you just screwed in loose ones.

I have a V1 Iskur and the lumbar support changed my life...working 9+ hours a day in a sitting position, I started having lower backache and my feet were numb prior to this chair, so yeah, it's a good buy, although it's quite pricy at retail ( I got mine on BF sale for roughly €250)

You failed to mention the most important difference to the Iskur v1 as far as I can see, and the reason I went for the Enki instead of the original Iskur. From this video, it looks like there are no more "wings" on the seat, you know, those wings on the side of the seat with metal bars on them that push your thighs towards the inside. From the video it looks like they are now soft, same as the Enki, which is a big improvement, and honestly the biggest improvement from v1. Weird you never mentioned it, it was the single deciding factor for me not buying the original.

And Secret Labs' arm rests are actually horrendous; especially for a CAD$900 freakin' chair! >_< I bought one and regret it... The arm rests feel like they're from a $25 chair. They're not even solid; they wiggle every single way and it was this way right out of the box. These things aren't built well at all. Companies are just jumping on the band wagon of creating "premium" products for gamers, but aren't actually creating "premium" products. Just their price tags are premium. Never again with a Secret Labs chair. Such garbage. Worth like $250 max! Not the $900 I spent.

I've bought many $300-500 chair and the secret lab one I have now is by far the best.

Those talking points make it sound like colton assembles chairs for a living.

To defend the doctor here. He told him to lower his chair so he can give an example of how the angles of the legs are supposed to be and feet fully planted on the ground. When he tells him to raise the chair back up. He's giving him use cases of why foot rests are important in the event desks are too high compared to the user. You can see the foot rest soon after he says this to make up for the lack of height. He's still sitting in the ideal position this way even after raising the height to match the desk.

@GDRobbye

3 ай бұрын

Because the standard desk height is too goddamn high and I don't understand why. From looking at various desks I noticed most of them are around 74 cm tall, but this is too high. At that height, you have to lift up your chair to the max, which in most cases means you're barely touching the ground with your feet so you also need a footrest. I'm 1.85m tall, so not short by any means.

@@GDRobbye wow, just checked how low my $300 "SHW Adjustable Desk" lowers, and it hits 70.5cm, which seems low enough for a child! I'm 6 foot tall, and my preferred desk height is 75cm. I definitely agree with you that 74cms should not be the absolute minimum for one of these desk; way too high.

Posture Potter is very catchy

The doctor said "for the next 2.5 hours" like it was big meanwhile me hitting the 12 hour mark as I am commenting and waiting in queue for my next battle in war thunder

Really liked having the doctor on - posture is something I should pay more attention to.

Posture is a real thing. I’m with you, I don’t really have any kind of “real” aches and pains, but my lower back KILLS me at times when I try to bend, to the point where I lay down most of the time when I’m not at work (if I can) Just to recuperate and not be in pain later. I really don’t game very much at all. - Most of the time I try to keep my spine straight at work, or lay down for relief (like when I’m watching your video right now, laying down) The only thing that I would love would be an inversion table. Or something that would put me upside down. That way I could straighten out my spine with gravity:-/

So when is the budget chair episode coming? No one's got 700 to spend on a chair

I was thinking to get this one but bought the Enki, because I think the Iskur is just a tad stiffer than Enki when I tried them both out which Enki also has another type of leather.. Enki is like "let's chill and play!" type of chair meanwhile Iskur is like "POSTURE! now let's get into it!"

I swear to corner desks where I can sit in the corner and have desk out on both sides of me. A million times better than having to rely on armrests. And if you slouch as much as Hoffman, and I often do, I recommend using the tilt on the chair, rather than only leaning the back. That way your are still kept in the right "angle" and get good support.

Colton is an absolute menace. Gets fired but still shows up to assemble office furniture. Now he's even putting on a lab coat and playing doctor with the staff.

"The best posture is your next posture" is an incredible important advice for preventing all kinds of orthopedic illnesses

I bought this chair couple months ago and its super comfy and nice looking that being said the lumber might make squeaking noises I had to replace 4 times to get one thats silent so beware lol

This looks exactly the same as a noblechairs hero, i assume they must source from the same location unless its some other partnership.

dang that interlacing is nutty. did anyone mention this to the nice doctor?

Doood I love your chair vids!!

Is it sturdy enough for two people to sit on it at the same time?

100% thought that was going to be Dennis at first

Hope they fixed the piston. Mine stopped staying up after less than a year.

I sat more comfortably by the end of the video

This makes my original Iskur that I'm sitting on like a "beta test". The right arm rest is loose since day one and there are no screws I can tighten more, it must be something structural inside. It started squeaking after few months and after 3 years the "leather" is starting to break and it feels like it'll soon completely apart.

Not trying to be rude. But this was one of the most helpful videos out of LMG for a while lol
