The aim was to create a comfortable and high quality chair that was a real bargain. For example, Ulf and his colleagues decided to put it in a flat pack. “It has made it possible to have a lower price and reduce emissions during transportation, explains Ulf. The flat pack will also make bringing home STRANDMON a whole lot easier, especially for everyone who doesn’t have a car that can fit a pre-assembled wing chair.

The dark green tallmyra material picks up every spec of dust.Anonymous reviewerThis is my third purchase of a Strandmon chair and this is the first one I’ve had issue with. I bought the dark green tallmyra version and that was a mistake. The material is quite a rough, textured chenille and it literally acts like a magnet to every piece of dust and hair in the house. I do a lot of knitting and crafting and even the tiny fibres from the yarns end up all over the chair. In the end I was keeping a lint removing brush down by the side of the chair and brushing it several times a day, but even then, it was still covered in “bits”. Within a week the chair was looking old and scruffy, so I purchased a dark green smooth velvet chair cover to go over the top and this did the trick. I’m now happy with the chair, but it seems a shame to have had to put a cover on a brand new chair for it to look nice.
Classic chairAnonymous reviewerReally comfortable classic chair. Very stylish.
Very comfortable.Anonymous reviewerThe armchair was easy to assemble by one person. Very comfortable.
Love my new chairAnonymous reviewerSitting in my chair whilst reviewing it. I find it very comfortable & supportive too. One thing I wish that the back was a little bit more upright but other than that it’s perfect.
Difficult assemblyAnonymous reviewerThe chair is of a good standard. Very comfortable. But the assembly starts off easy, then gets really tricky. Unless you are used to working with your hands & with tools be careful. I would've paid to have it assembled knowing what I know now.
Strandmon chairAnonymous reviewerHaving purchased and put together lots of IKEA furniture for our new home. I found this the most troublesome piece of furniture to assemble. The chair wings would not go on, it was as if the material was stopping engagement of the pins. I watched a YouTube video for tips but this step was missed out (I wonder why) I eventually got them to fit by machining some chamfers into the engagement slots. Looking online this problem is really common and should be solved by now. The first time we have been really disappointed with the assembly process. The chair itself is fine once together.
Lovely chair but not easy to assembleAnonymous reviewerGreat chair and good value for money. Assembly started off easily but putting the sides on was very difficult It was difficult to get bolts to align.
Great chairAnonymous reviewerVery supportive and comfy. Looks great, a classic style. Other reviews said it was a little difficult to assemble but my son done it with no problems. Highly recommended.
Comfortable but fiddlyAnonymous reviewerGot this as a “grief” chair hoping it would be a comfortable space. Found it gave me more grief trying to put it together. Needs to be exactly aligned to get the screws in underneath which is very hard to do even for an ikea lived and breathed home. The wings went on ok but also quite difficult to get lined up just right and I’m still not sure it’s all fitted properly in place. Chair is comfortable though and a lovely colour.
GreatAnonymous reviewerHad been mulling over weather to buy this chair for a long time, the price even went up but then when we had an offer on our IKEA card to take a little bit of the price we decided to buy it. It’s a comfortable chair and the colour is great, bold and makes a statement, but the only thing is our Cat has claimed it as their chair! If you do have a Cat try and find a spray to keep the cat from using the chair as a scratching post! I’m glad I bought the chair.
Great value for moneyAnonymous reviewerThis is the second of these chairs we have bought; beige this time to sit by our patio doors as it shouldn’t fade. Both took a bit longer than suggested to put together but are sturdy and comfortable.
Comfy but a nightmare to put together! Once done, it's a really nice chair.Anonymous reviewerLove the colour. Extremely comfortable but had to get handyperson to build for me. I'm always 100% confident I can build IKEA furniture, I've never been defeated, it's always fabulously easy. The arm attachments need redesigning as it should not be this difficult!
ComfortableAnonymous reviewerVery comfortable chair !! The back support is very good the only criticism would be that it is not so easy to assemble . It is not so easy to fit the sides on with the nuts and bolts but once done it is perfect for my needs !!!
Excellent value for moneyAnonymous reviewerI am 70 and have a dodgy back. I bought this chair for its firm seat and upright seating position. I am very pleased with it and hope it lasts as long as previous IKEA purchases.
My only negative comment would be the problem lining-up and bolting one of the side pieces. Quite a struggle, but got there in the end.
What a struggle !Anonymous reviewerLovely comfortable chair….quite pleased once assemble.
Absolute nightmare to put together lining up the sides and bolt holes….
Not as good as our old onesAnonymous reviewerDisappointed tbh - we have 2 of these chaors already and this is not as comfortable, not as solid and not a good quality as our old ones - I don’t know why they’ve always got to shave off quality for a bigger margin. Wouldn’t buy another one!
Standmon chairAnonymous reviewerA very comfortable armchair; spacious and solid; putting together was fine after the wrestle with the sides to join together; I bought two. Thanks!
Very good for the priceAnonymous reviewerWe looked around for a long time to find a substantial armchair at a reasonable price. This one fits the bill and we bought another one a few months later!
Really comfortable chairAnonymous reviewerWe bought this chair to use occasionally in our home office. But it is SO comfortable it gets used all the time. It was a little bit fiddly to bolt together and was definitely a 2 person job - but well worth the effort. A really comfortable armchair at a very competitive price.
Practical and comfortableAnonymous reviewerThis chair is really good for your back which was the reason I bought it for my friend that just had babies....
There was a slight glitch but IKEA sorted it out(good customer service)

Story
From vintage sitting to modern life
Do you sometimes get a little nostalgic? We do. That’s why we created STRANDMON wing chair. Its design is inspired by an IKEA chair from the 50’s called MK – a favourite of the IKEA founder, Ingvar Kamprad. It was even on the cover of our first catalogue. But how could it be refreshed and adapted to today’s demands? Well, we found a few ways…
Like the quality. Back in the 50’s, most people used chairs just to sit in. Nowadays, we curl up in our chairs, drape our legs over armrests and eat where we sit. We put higher demands on our furniture. Our product developer Ulf Engström explains what STRANDMON has to put up with. “It’s tested to make sure it can take a person that sits and gets up at least 50,000 times. That’s the same as sitting and getting up once a day for 136 years.”
Now in bits and pieces
Some things never change
The wing chair perhaps had its golden era long ago, but who knows, it might be considered a must-have in people's homes once again. “People have changed the way they live since the 50's, but the need for affordable quality furniture is still the same. I think that is one of the reasons to why STRANDMON is so popular,” says Ulf. The flat pack and the lower price, together with new colours and patterns, will definitely make it easier for more people to find the right spot for STRANDMON in their home. And – of course – experience some well-deserved comfort.
Material
What is cotton?
Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.
