“We cooperated with ROG the whole time and met both professional and high-performance gamers,” tells Sofia. When she and the team got to pick the brains of the players and watch them in action, it became clearer where IKEA can make a difference. “We saw a need for comfortable and ergonomic chairs and aids for long gaming sessions, stable furniture and accessories that improve the precision, and smart storage for the hardware. But, we also developed solutions that make it easier to eat and drink without spill while playing.”

Reviews
Good qualityAnonymous reviewerGood quality - bit pricey but is comfortable sturdy
Comfy and stylishAnonymous reviewerI had my eye on this chair as an upgrade to a foldable kitchen chair for a while, since trying it out for fun during a visit to IKEA. Since then, I created a little workspace for my studies and I found the excuse I needed to buy this chair! I like the seat padding, accommodating but not too soft, the curve of the backrest is just right and I like that I can do controlled leanbacks without falling off! The castors stop moving if you get off too! Great if you like fidgeting with movement. Even my cat loves it as her new sleeping spot, I have to ahove her off to use it!
Great BargainAnonymous reviewerVery comfortable, easily put together, great price. Would recommend this chair
Good for postureAnonymous reviewerThis gamer chair is really good value and well made. My son loves it
Thumbs upAnonymous reviewerAs expected. Easy to set up.
Perfect JobAnonymous reviewerWe have updated our son with a new high rise bed allowing for room underneath for a chair, this is perfect for his studying for school (oh and gaming too 🤣)
Gaming chair.Anonymous reviewerSon loves the chair.
Good looking, comfy chair for teenagersAnonymous reviewerMy teenager loves the his chair. Has encouraged him to sit at his desk instead of slouched on the sofa. Looks good, comfy and easy to put together
Not very comfortable. Anonymous reviewerEasy enough to put together, but not terribly comfortable. You can never find a good enough angle to sit comfortably, and there are better alternatives on the market.
HUVUDSPELARE GAMING CHAIRAnonymous reviewerWe had already purchased this chair to use in our office, so pleased with it decided to buy a second chair. The chair is very comfortable to use and a great design. "Information" - the chair should be classed as suitable for office use as well as gaming.
Excellent comfort value and ease of build Anonymous reviewerWe tried alllll the desk chairs in ikea for my teen son and in the end settled on this - the combination of backrest height, comfort and then value was good.
Construction easy.
Will it last forever, who knows but hopefully to the end of GCSE!
Would have loved more colour options!
A very comfortable chair.Anonymous reviewerThis is a very comfortable chair for working at a table or work station.
Great item computer chairAnonymous reviewerComfortable, easy assembly all round great computer chair
Office chair Anonymous reviewerI bought this office for my birthday, which looks very nice inside my study. And the best part was !!! Good value for money and so easy to put together.
Great ChairAnonymous reviewerComfortable chair for several hours, but did feel uncomfortable after about 8 hours.
Computer chairAnonymous reviewerLovely chair. Very comfortable.
Had to wait a while for product to be back in stock but worth the wait !Anonymous reviewerGood value for money . Comfortable chair for all ages and sizes .
Easy to assemble, easy to useAnonymous reviewerIt is a great product for its value. Those people whom complaining about the wheels...it is a safety feature. When the chair is empty, it is can not roll away.
Affordable chair Anonymous reviewerNice chair, light weight, sturdy, easy to assemble, wheels are not too loose, so chair remains stationary when needed. My one negative is the position of the back which can make you feel uncomfortable after a while.
Great for my Son's roomAnonymous reviewerChair is great for my son's gaming station, however the wheels tend to stick and don't roll very well. He is only 7 so maybe with some added weight it might be better? Overall, happy with the chair.

Story
Game on!
At IKEA we have experience of life at home, but we’re beginners in the gaming world. That’s why we decided to team up with recognised experts from Republic of Gamers (ROG), to better understand what everyday life is like for devoted PC gamers. It resulted in desks, chairs, storage and accessories that can help more players to more victories.
Ask any gamer and they’ll tell you gaming is more than a fun past-time. It’s a way to wind down and connect with others – for some, even a livelihood. When Sofia Wiktorsson, one of our product developers, started working with our new range for passionate players, she stepped into a completely new universe – the gaming world.
We level up to help more gamers
Democratic gaming
There are several billion gamers in the world, but it’s not a uniform group of people – the diversity is big, with different cultures, ages, educational levels and incomes. “We want to make it possible to adapt the gaming station to your taste and your needs, no matter where you come from, if you live on your own, or together with someone else,” explains Sofia. “The products should fit with all other things people have in their homes. It’s our way to democratise the good gaming experience – for both gamers and the ones that don’t play.”
