Homs office chairDerekThe Markus makes a good office chair. It took a little over an hour to assemble for a couple in their late seventies. The seat could be a little more comfortable but I am adjusting. The locking casters have not been an issue so far and provide a bit of a benefit if you have mobility issues. 4
It’s not comfortable for long hours of use.FarazCompared to gaming chairs, it's not comfortable, just after using it for a few hours my hips and back start to hurt. 2
Could be lowerJoanneI like the chair, but because I'm short, it would be nice if you could lower the seat more.4
So comfortable and rolls easilyJoanReasonably priced office chair. Very comfortable for my computer desk and rolls smoothly and easily. Took me a bit to figure out how to assemble the wheel base, as the chair does not roll unless it has weight on it. Overall, would highly recommend.5
Hard SeatHeatherI tried the store model (Halifax) and thought it was quite comfortable. Bought it, put it together, and was extremely disappointed with the lack of seat padding. It felt like I was sitting on hard plastic. Otherwise, it would be a five star chair (easy to assemble; great lumbar support). This is the second type of chair I have had to return to the Halifax store because the chair I got was an "updated" version of the floor model. 3

Great office chair HWe've bought a few of these chairs. Our teams find them comfortable and supportive. They approve of the high back and the overall adjustability features.5
Best chairYvetteFrom the moment I sat in this chair, I knew I had to have one. It just fits the contours of my body perfectly especially the lumbar support. So glad I found it.5
Markus Office chairElisabethGood quality, stylish, comfortable. The sync-tilt mechanism on this chair is smooth. Easy to assemble except for the back connecting with the seat. Had to buy back bolts to keep the two pieces together.4
Sturdy chairLaneChair is well built and sturdy. You should take note though, after 3 yrs, the seat padding is so compressed that it is like sitting on a board (I only weigh 160lbs). I use the chair daily for 8+ hours a day. Maybe if it is not used frequently it would be fine for many years. Maybe it's made to only last 3 yrs... IDK. Just wanted to let all know. Otherwise, it is a nice chair.3
The ClassicBorisThis is one of the best office chair designs of all time and a bargain. I only wish that Ikea was still offering it in leather. It is by far the most comfortable Ikea office chair. While it does not have an adjustable headrest of armrests, they are positioned really well for most people and are rock solid and silent. Most affordable chairs with adjustable parts become very loose and loud eventually. The sync-tilt mechanism on this chair is legendary and unbeatable at this price range. Lumbar support is also fixed, but it is soft, so it is not intrusive. If there was one area I would suggest IKEA could improve this chair, it would be to remove the zipper pull tab from the back of the headrest since, in some situations, the zipper pull tab can make noise while reclining. It can be easily done, since they eliminated zipper pull tab from the bottom of the back rest, and the zipper is still functional. Another suggestion would be to bring back more color/material options.5
Work horse used for work, gaming, and TV.AnthonyI really liked this chair generally, but it does not age well (7 years old now). Its a primary chair, used 16 hr a day 7 days a week for work, gaming, and TV.
I have tendency to rest heavily on the left arm rest , over time (~4 years) the seat started to list to the left as a metal crossbar beneath gouged out metal on the left and eventually snapped. A long bolt & nuts (~$1,20 from HH) replaced the crossbar piece to extend its life, but it still lists when stuck in the gouge. Later some metal (tension?) plate snapped completely too. At 7 years the seat now rocks left & right.
The height adjust has worn out too; it either sticks in min. or max. height. Doesn't appear to hold in between positions and sometimes when I leave the chair it rises from min to max on its own accord.
As an office chair assuming normal work hours its great, breaths well in summer heat, the wear & tear I suspect would be minimal. As full on work from home all-purpose chair, results over time will vary.3
static electricity issueYik Ngai CarlGood computer chair generally as other has mentioned.
But need to be cautious in Winter, especially if your room has low humidity and you are using using a desktop. It will build up static electricity if you sit for a while and may freeze your desktop due to static discharge.
My desktop constantly freezes in Winter due to the static discharge from chair, but it functions normally if I switch to another chair.
If you are using a laptop mainly, it should be fine as I haven't encountered any issue with laptops.3

Well Built Chair ButRobIkea could make the self-install instructions much easier. Wrap the screws with a label like A and the other sized ones B. Then label the diagram where they go A and B. So easy to put different length screws in wrong part. Chair overall seems a good value for the money.4
