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.

Handsome, comfy!ElisabethPleased as punch with this comfy, cozy, handsome chair! It was easy to put together, too. I tried so many chairs at so many stores that cost 4 times more and weren’t as nice. I got the matching storage ottoman and now have the perfect reading spot in my bedroom. Highly recommend!
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!
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!
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.
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
MY FAVORITE CHAIR EVERMaryI've had my eye on this chair for years and finally splurged and got it last spring, along with the ottoman. It's in my home office and every time I sit in it, it's a treat. The angle of the seat to the back makes it just a little like reclining, and the wings on each side make dozing off easier on my neck. I've had some solid naps in this chair. It looks nice, and everyone compliments it. I would love to get a couple more for the living room. Don't hesitate: get this chair!
Good chair. JosephThe assembly is easy, good instructions.
The chair is sturdy and serves its purpose. Very satisfied.
Nice chair but difficult to buildJoseI’ve only had this chair (with separate cover) for a few days. It’s comfortable and substantial. The HUGE negative - as other reviewers have mentioned - is bolting the side wings to the bottom frame. It took me over an hour of pulling/pushing side wings to align the holes to the bolt in an area of the product with very little visibility. It’s near impossible! Finally aligned bolts and used my own wrenches to tighten for the tool it comes with is near useless.
Love it!Emilio AEasy to assemble and very comfortable! Love it.
Does not clean well.DennisWe bought two gray chairs last Fall. I have tried to clean the fabric, following the directions posted, and have been unsuccessful in getting normal “wear” dirt out. Also, the arms move slightly causing a squeaking sound. Should I bring both chairs back for return?
Comfortable SariaEasy to put together and comfortable to sit on.
Love my chairCarolynVery, very comfortable seating. Love the look and the style. Very easy to assemble.
Favorite reading chair CarlaLove this chair. It’s super comfortable and perfect for my reading nook.
Just what I expectedKellyIt's great to have a product easy to assemble and just the way you expect it to be. This chair, I bought two, they were easy to assemble, the parts fit tightly together, and the tools provided to assemble didn't hurt my hands like other Ikea products. They sit in my office and I've gotten good reviews of people sitting in them and the way they look.
Comfortable seattingAnonymous reviewerVery happy with the product
the perfect chairKatherineI currently have 2 of these chairs, the older of the two being around 15 years old. They're comfortable, surprisingly stain-resistant, and have held up through it all - time, use, and several moves. Legs are easy to remove for getting them through doorways. I bought my first Strandmon a year out of the dorms, and now I'm in my 30's taking pictures of my baby sitting in it for Christmas. It's the perfect chair!

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.
