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.

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)
Looks lovely, but not that comfortableAnonymous reviewerRecently purchased a couple of these armchairs, once they were put together they looked great. Just what I wanted, but unfortunately the chair seems very firm to sit on. Hopefully the seat pad may get softer!
Great comfortable chair Anonymous reviewerWe love this chair. Its really comfortable and the green fabric we chose is great and hard wearing
The Most comfy chairAnonymous reviewerLoved the colour of this chair ,and it really is comfortable
Comfortable chair Anonymous reviewerVery comfortable chair of good quality however it is a little difficult to assemble but worth the effort
Stands the test of timeAnonymous reviewerI have had this chair for over 10 years and it's been through two house moves and still looks great! The only reason I'm now possibly having to buy a new one is that the padding on the seat and the back needs redoing and because the chair is such good value, quotes for getting it re-stuffed are coming to more than buying a new one. If IKEA was looking for a way to become more sustainable, selling replacement seat cushions and a way to restuff the back of the chair would be amazing because there is nothing else wrong with this seat.
Great chairAnonymous reviewerGreat chair! Got into some trouble trying to anchor one of the arms whilst putting together! Sorted in the end!
Good chairAnonymous reviewerComfy, stylish and solid chair that I often find myself dozing off in of late. Really good buy.
Love my statement chairAnonymous reviewerBought this to go in our navy bedroom and it gives the splash of bright colour I was looking for. Being disabled, I spend a lot of time in bed and so having a comfy chair for people to sit on while visiting was important. Making it the statement it is is a bonus and this chair makes me smile every time I see it! My 11 year old was in charge of building it but she did need assistance from my husband to align the pieces before attaching to each other, and it does require a little strength.
Cosy and great for nursing babyAnonymous reviewerI have spent hours and hours nursing our baby in this chair. It's comfy, cosy and the arms are nice and supportive for feeding. I got the footstool to make it extra comfy. No need for a special nursing chair which costs a fortune. Looks cool too.
Comfy n cosy! Anonymous reviewerClassic look, comfortable and hardwaring. Easy to sponge off stains, spills or marks.
ComfyAnonymous reviewerLovely colour and very comfy
Chair to fall asleep inAnonymous reviewerComfortable armchair, easy to fall asleep in, perhaps just a little low for us, which may prove difficult in years to come, perhaps the legs could be replaced for taller ones?
Comfortable and good valueAnonymous reviewerAs above
Bad padding on armrest Anonymous reviewer"I recently purchased a sofa, and while it has a stylish design, I'm really dissatisfied with the armrest padding. The padding feels too thin and doesn’t provide adequate support. What's worse, when I lean on the armrests, I can actually feel the hard wood pieces in the corners, which makes it quite uncomfortable. The sharpness of the wood is noticeable, and it causes discomfort after even a short period of use. It really detracts from the overall comfort and makes relaxing on the sofa difficult."

Accessories for STRANDMON
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.
