Review on Razer Iskur XL Fabric Gaming Chair With Ergonomic Lumbar Support, Ultra-Soft Spill-Resistant Foam Cushions, 4D Armrests, Engineered To Carry Weight Capacity And Foam Head Cushion - Dark Gray by Linh Hellmuth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It would be a five-star chair but for one glaring issue.

I really wanted to like this chair, but a few things keep it from getting a five-star review.I'll start with the good: it has the best lumbar support of any chair I've had, and that includes a $1k Criterion Leap chair. The fabric is great; I don't get hot sitting in it, and it feels durable. Assembly was easy, and I love having the tall back to lean against. The casters are also awesome, keeping the chair in place and not easily drifting.The bad: that great back support comes with a cost, and that is seat depth. The seat depth is not adjustable, and every inch of lumbar support you use is taken away from the depth of the seating area. So I can only use a little of the lumbar support before I feel like I'm falling out of the chair. The seat does not feel very cushion-y, but my butt does not get sore in longer sessions in it. I like the head cushion, but it's too thick; it would be better if it came in layers so you could decide how much headrest you want.But the BIG drawback is those awful, unadjustable side wings to the seat, something many reviews have pointed out. I guess Razer thought race seat appearance was more important than ergonomics. Well, they were wrong. Combined with the seat depth issue, this results in those wings digging into the sides of my thighs. No mansplaying in this thing. I found adding a footrest helps keep me in the proper position.Doing it over, I would definitely have gotten the bigger size seat even thought I don't consider myself a "big and tall" person. If you are 5'9"+ and 180lbs+ definitely get the bigger version, something else the reviews advised.So I'm keeping it, since the hassle of sending something this heavy back is a logistical nightmare, but I do plan on contacting Razer about options for swapping the seat out, angling the seat sides more, and for other headrest cushion options.
