StylishAnonymous reviewerLovely chairs, very comfortable and stylish.
Great chairAnonymous reviewerStylish and comfy
Tobias chairAnonymous reviewerPerfect, as expected, comfy, sturdy and good price.
SUPER CHAIRAnonymous reviewerThis is a fantastic chair. Bought it for my granddaughter 15th birthday . She loves it. It is very sturdy and modern design. She uses it every day at her Ikea dressing table.
Comfortable Anonymous reviewerI love this chair, as I was looking for something comfortable and easy to clean and scratch proof, as I have 2 cats and it's hard to keep leather chair and cloth cover chair to keep it clean from cat hair and cat scratch, but this chair works best for me, no more cat hair sticking to it, no more cat scratches. And it's comfortable and easy to assemble. And color matches my white and black marble dinning table. Happy with the purchase.

Stylish easy to put together chairAnonymous reviewerBought for my daughter’s bedroom and she loves it. It looks very stylish and was easy to put together.
Really nice chairs!Anonymous reviewerLovely sturdy chairs. Easy to put together and arrived well wrapped so they didn't get scratched. They look lovely with my table. A friend had the same chairs and I found them comfortable to sit on and liked the look of them. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Marks on the plastic when we unpacked it Anonymous reviewerVery disappointed with what looks like marks within the plastic
Looks like it was a return or a faulty chair
Tobias chair Anonymous reviewerWe love this chair… style quality and price .
Dangerous , avoid at all costs !Anonymous reviewerAbsolutely dangerous. As other stated all 8 of my chairs have cracked on the seat. Didnt think anything of it other than some cracks would pinch my skin occasionally and looked unsightly but one this morning ive sat down and the back has gone on it, my back is red raw and badly scratched . Avoid for ur own safety
Seat crackedAnonymous reviewerThe same as other reviewers, we've have 4 Tobias chairs for about 4 years or so, and have experienced one of the chairs suddenly cracking in the front of the seat.
I like tgese chairs as they're comfortable and go nicely with our glass table, but if this is a known fault and common, l won't be risking purchasing a replacement, especially as other customers have experienced the entire back of the chair suddenly breaking off.
Needs a redesignAnonymous reviewerI have bought many Tobias chairs over the years. Nearly all have cracked down the middle and it is very annoying that you have to buy a complete chair and not just the acrylic seat.
I repaired one chair by screwing an aluminium strip across the chair to prevent further cracking. That repair has lasted many years.
It is quite obvious that the front section of the seat needs extra strength to stop the crack starting and I cannot understand why IKEA have not realised this
Comfortable but potentially dangerousAnonymous reviewerCurrently looking for new kitchen chairs and saw these still on sale. We had four of these in our kitchen for eight years or so & they were great until about three years ago they started to crack in the middle at the front, one after the other. We kept using the one remaining chair assuming it would eventually do the same but it did much worse. One day I leant back & the whole of the back sheared off just above the seat & my upper back hit the floor hard. The impact caused a serious rotator cuff injury that needed multiple visits to my GP/physiotherapists, as well as an X-ray when the excruciating pain persisted, plus many sleepless nights and multiple painkillers. Lengthy rehab with a personal trainer helped me to regain a full range of motion, but there’s still some pain if I need to move my arm in one particular direction.
An internet search showed me the same breakage has happened to other people, so it’s a known fault, yet IKEA are still selling them. For your own safety, AVOID!!
Modern look Anonymous reviewerModern classy chair
Excellent chair. Anonymous reviewerGreat quality. Easy to clean. Looks the part as it’s used for a make up station.
Looking to match chairs we were given!Anonymous reviewerChairs were exactly what we wanted to match two chairs donated by our daughter!!
Poor design: DO NOT BUY! Anonymous reviewerFirst off, do NOT buy these chairs if you have kids; they are a fingerprint magnets! They look great initially, but they scratch really easily and need constant cleaning. Fair enough, I can accept that. However, one of the chairs cracked down the middle. No doubt IKEA will say they are outside their warranty and so tough. For £85 I wouldn’t expect a chair to crack after 2 years simply by sitting on it! This is the first time in 10 years I feel let down by an IKEA product.
Love itAnonymous reviewerThese chairs are so comfortable. This is my second purchase - a chair for my desk. I already have them as dining chairs and love them. They’re very sturdy but have enough give in the seat to make them comfortable.
Great chairAnonymous reviewerLove the look and very comfortable
