Armrests are too highAnonymous reviewerBasically usable, but the armrests are too high. They prevent you from using the chair comfortably on most desks. For example, this chair is not compatible with the 132 x 58 cm Alex desk (product code 805.888.88). The problem is that the armrests are slightly too high, and MUCH too far forward. Unfortunately, the armrests are actually structural: they help hold the lining in place.
I'm currently using this chair without the armrests. Overall, I'd say buying this was a mistake.3
So comfyAnonymous reviewerVery, very, very comfy - perfect for long hours in my office.
Looks stylish and sleek, & at such a great price. Very happy!5
Office chairAnonymous reviewerI have found this office chair to be comfortable with many possible adjustable sitting positions. It would have been five stars had the arm rests been a little more padded, however, this would not stop me from recommending it. 4
Amazing quality Anonymous reviewerThis is the third office chair we bought after two very low cost versions from other suppliers. This IKEA product has clearly been tested sufficiently and is so solidly built that the slightly higher price is more than justified. Thanks for amazing quality. 5
Good home office chairAnonymous reviewerWorks well as a home office chair. Feels sturdy. Not keen on the auto-braking feature, which means one can't easily roll the chair out of the way without leaning or sitting on it.5
Great looks but questionable qualityAnonymous reviewerI have 2 of these chairs, bought relatively recently, one at the beginning of the year and another about 5 months later. They look fantastic in my office and the initial comfort was great for a tall person like myself (6'3), constantly having upper back pains due to long hours at my desk in rather smaller and uncomfortable chairs. The issue with them (i.e. Markus chairs) is that after less than half a year the cushions started being quite flat such that I can feel the base of the seat with my bottom. Also, the whole seating base on one of them got wobbly, also after less than half a year of usage and I'm not that heavy (~100kg).
Other annoyances with this chairs were quality control issues, like chips or dents on the armrests or star base and uneven arm pads or cushions.
It's a shame about the Markus chair as it has an unbeatable price, and for me, the initial comfort was much much better than the stupidly expensive Herman Miller Embody Gaming chair, which costs 10x more!

No lumbar or neck supportAnonymous reviewerI like the style, light design, so it doesn't feel heavy and bulky in the environment. But there's no lumbar support, though, the spine curves slightly so after some time I feel pain. The head rest is high, so no support to the neck, which is tensed because the headrest pushes the top of the head slighlty forward. Basically, as you sit, there'll be a slight convex curve from the bottom of the spine all the way to the top of the head. I'm using a lumbar support cushion for chairs, which is a half-moon shaped foam cushion that attaches to the chair with an elastic band, which takes care of the lumber support issue.2
