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.

This chair is coolVeronicaI'm 5' 4" and I weigh 225 lbs. I'm saying that now because I've sometimes free fallen onto the chair and it's shifted back a bit but it's stayed upright. It's comfortable as I'm someone who is antsy in her chair. I like the fact I can cross my legs and not have any issue. It's sturdy and comfortable. I adore the dark yellow color as it stands out in my apartment.
Gorgeous and comfortableSarahThis was supposed to be easy to put together because it had less than 10 screws, but aligning the arms, and screwing the pieces to the back took me a LONG time.
However, it was so worth it once it was finally done. I absolutely love this chair in my reading nook! Hope the pic comes thru
Perfect for tall/larger people!SethLove this chair! It sits deep, I don’t feel like I’m falling out of it like I do with normal chairs. Also stylish in a classic, timeless way. I want to buy more.
Comfortable & Stylish!ThomasAlthough part of the assembly was challenging for one person, I love this chair for comfort & style, particularly when paired with its ottoman. The yellow makes a great room accent color.
Quality has notably decreasedBrianaI have this exact chair from over 5 years ago. I bought another one because I loved it so much. While the shape is still the same, the construction is noticeably worse. The think I notice daily is that the shape of the arms seems to be held up with some thin flexible material. If I press on the arms at all, I can feel and hear what seems like thin cardboard flexing. Considering the chair has likely gone up in price, the decrease in quality is really disappointing.
How do I clean cushion cover?DerekKids spilled juice - instructions say do not wash. Damp cloth as instructed did nothing. Can see water stains/marks when dry. How to fix?
Wonderful Chair!MaryMy son has had this chair for about five years. I visited him last year and enjoyed sitting in the chair. I returned home and ordered the chair and matching foot stool in gray. I used the YouTube on line directions to assemble. Very easy except for the last piece, but I did it! I am 75!
The material is easy to clean and use a hand vac to remove kitty fur. For the money, the chair is well made and very comfortable; looks great in my family room. I just ordered another one!
one bolt - can you make it work?Rajeev1 hour to put everything together except 1 bolt - last one. 2+ hours, no go. Made sure it goes in without assembly, but as soon as I put it together - nope. Doesnt help that you cant find the hole to slot it in - easily. I used painters tape to mark it and I can see it go in and catch. And then release. Repeat. For a $350 item, you'd think they would have resolved this.
Cute but imperfect CoreyThe chair is cute and comfortable but some of the details show that it is not made very well. You can clearly see the upholstery staples throughout the entire side of the chair and the two side panels had some splintering when I opened the package. Overall it is nice enough for a bedroom reading nook.
Very comfy, and sturdyMaryWhen I was looking for furniture I knew what I wanted and found these at Ikea. We bought 3 and we love them. I would add the green velvet one too but need to find a place for it!
I Built One of ThoseTerri LI’m a fan of Strandmon . The vibberbo black and beige is in my living room . Pattern on living room furniture is new to me . Possibly one of my better furniture decisions made when putting the space together was choosing pattern. I love everything about Strandmon -the style, shape and pattern added to my eclectic mix of furnishings that ranges from Victorian antiques to mid century modern. The modern take of the wing chair blends together the decades . I find the chair a comfortable sitter and generally find myself there . I have the gray one in my bedroom too.
Best and Most Comfortable ChairsAnthonyI purchased two Strandmon chairs and ottoman's about three years ago in dark gray. They are placed on either side of a window in our den and my wife and I use them to start every day. We have our coffee and review the news and discuss the day's schedule. They are amazingly comfortable and have held up very well. These are our go-to chairs for reading (and napping). Please don't change the design - it's perfect.
My cats love it tooPrekshaI’ve wanted this chair for years and actually bought it off fb marketplace bc I was afraid of spending so much for my cats to just shred it up. Turns out it holds up extremely well to cat claws — not a tear so far and boy have they tried!!
Highly recommend. It’s adorable and comfy!
Super comfy, but don't get Dark GrayDmitryArmchair design is great, but Dark gray material looks and feels on the cheap side which ruins the overall experience
Great Chair but very limiting color selectionAnonymousI bought this chair but returned it after few days as the color did not work.
I wish IKEA have had introduced this chair in the white cotton and best yet if this chair would have a washable cover.
White upholstery like it is available on some sofas is ideal because it works with any decor and it is washable and even bleachable so idea for so many of us who own pets.
The chair is very comfortable. Not soft and soggy but on a bit firm side however it is profiled in such a way that very nicely supports comfortable relaxed body posture and is high enough to nicely rest the head on its back wall.
I would truly believe that those chairs would sell in billions if they would make a white cotton cover for it. Also I would love to be able to buy a chair in one finish and cover in other finish so in my case I would love to see a blue velvet/velour chair and be able to smack on it the washable cover or the other way around.
PLEASE MAKE A WHITE COTTON COVER FOR IT!AND PLEASE MAKE A BLUE VELVET TOO
Great chairTammyThis chair is made for relaxation. Very comfortable and cat approved! (I purchased a cover) to be on the safe side.
Not sturdy, broke after a few daysJacqueThis chair broke after a few days, really cheap and not great quality.
Love it!MarkComfy. Yellow color is fabulous. Great chair!
Wasn’t sure…WarrenI thought the seat may be too low, but it is one of the most comfortable chairs I’ve sit in.
Attractive NancyIt’s an attractive chair with fun lines. If you want a stiff chair that holds you upright it’s very good, if you want to sink into a comfy chair, it’s not that. It also was hard to put together. All that said, I love how it looks in my home.

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 favorite 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 colors 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.
