Reviews
3 out of 5 starsVenThe chair is comfortable and works well for what I need. I’ve had it for about two years and it’s been fine up until recently. Now the seat randomly starts going down while I’m using it. I usually keep it at the highest setting, but it slowly drops to the lowest after a while.
I went to IKEA to see if there was anything they could do, but they told me I should just buy a new one. It’s frustrating because the chair still looks good and feels fine otherwise, but the height adjustment issue makes it hard to use long term.
Overall, it’s a decent chair for the price, but don’t expect it to last more than a couple of years without issues.
Arm rests need to be replacedAndrewI've had this chair for a few years and the only issue I have with it is that the arm rest rubber starts to rub off after prolonged usage. I would gladly pay to replace just the arm rests if that was possible. Sadly, it does not appear to be an option.
Peeling arm restElleI was really excited about this chair. I read reviews, watched a video to put it together on my own, and settled because of the comfort even though it wasn’t the ideal aesthetic. Unfortunately after less than 2 weeks the arm rest is actually peeling off into pieces. I’ve never seen this happen before, and seems like a major defect for a $300 chair. Unfortunately I can’t locate my receipt. I’m hoping there is some sort of fix for this.
Material of headrest could be thickerChrisThe chair was easy to assemble and I like the feature that you need to be seated in the chair in order to roll / move it. This would be ideal for a household with small children so that the chair would remain stationary and not roll over small feet. My only grumble is that the chair's headrest feels and looks very inexpensive. The fabric is wrinkled on the top edge instead of laying flat. Not a deal breaker for the price. Love all the levers to make adjustments to the chair's height and angle/pitch.
Comfy chair for long periods of sittingSarahI sit at my computer for between 8-10 hours daily. I can definitely tell a difference in comfort level vs the chair I have at my work office. My lower back does not usually hurt after sitting in the Markus. Very much worth the investment.
Good itemAnonymousComfortable
MarkusCarrieEasy to assemble, looks beautiful, and is so comfortable.
Perfect chair...well, almostRashadI love this chair! The high back with the cushion is very supportive. The chair is remarkably study and well made. The controls and ergonomics are superb.
However, there are some things I'd like to see done differently. The arm rests are made of a tire rubber-like material which is not bad, but I wish the arms were designed with an open loop of metal instead of the closed loop such that edges of the loop don't press into the side of your leg. As others have mentioned, the seat cushion doesn't pad enough for longer sitting. Forces you to take a rest from sitting, which may not be a bad thing. Really, it's only uncomfortable if your chair is too low, in other words, it forces you to sit with good posture. To reduce the pressure on your butt, raise the chair so that your weight is distributed across your thighs. The price is in my opinion too high. Otherwise, it's great!
Although it has a high price, I am willing to pay for a high-quality comfortable office recliner that looks nice!
started back problemsMehmetIt is very uncomfortable. In the beginning, I wa using it less, when I started to use it more , I understand it is not supportive
Amazing chair, sad the price got so highTinaI bought this chair almost 8 years ago. It's the best chair ever!!! I did lose a screw in one arm rest but easily replaced. Otherwise it's still in great condition after use of 8 years 40 hours a week, over 16,000 hours of use. My job recently required RTO and after one day in their chairs I decided I needed to buy this one again for my RTO desk... Sadly I bought it for $99 and now it's $289 which is so very sad, triple the price is rough. Not sure I can survive without it but not sure I can put that kind of money to RTO :(
Comfortable and QualityCorinneThis chair is very comfortable. It helps support my back and is pretty light weight. I would recommend this purchase to anyone who needs back support.
Used to be comfierAnonymous reviewerI recently rebought this chair as the old one had worn our but this newer model had less cush in the seat. Over all a good chair but just needs more padding in the seat for us boney people.
Great chair but needs improvement!MichaelThis is a sturdy and comfortable chair....but please replace the cushion with breathable mesh material similar to the back of the chair. After hours of sitting on it, my butt hurts so I have to use a 3rd party seat cushion on top. Please make this chair perfect by adding mesh cushion!
10 years of solid performanceColinI've been using this chair daily for 10 years! It's a tank. Build quality is perfect. Good comfort. The seat cushion has held up well.
Comfortable ChairPamelaI am enjoying this chair. It looks nice and is comfortable. I would recommend purchasing this chair.
Not the best, but does it's job wellNenadWhen it comes to comfort and ergonomics, the Markus is exceptional. I sit for multiple hours every day at my PC and feel no back pain.
What I do miss from my last chair is a bigger seating cushion. I like to lift my feet up on the chair, but the narrow cushion makes that difficult to do.
Removable arm rests are a blessing and a curse. When watching a video the arm rests provide great comfort. But when I want to get some work done I cannot pull myself all the way in, because the arms are too high for my table, so I have to remove them.
Overall, it does it's job well. You get what you paid for. And get sort of a premium feel with the comfort. But in functionality it falls apart
Wife likes it. Extra arm rests for purchase?CharlesMy wife seems to like this chair. I have it also. It helps with the lumbar support. Unfortunately with the arm rests being "rubber" my grandkids were over and scratched a piece off of my wife's chair. Are there just the armrests that can be ordered by chance? 5 stars if that is possible.
Good chairUladzislauVery comfortable
Comfortable chair but plastic pieces keep dropping offRandyThe chair itself is very comfortable but I keep finding small hard, semi round, black plastic pieces under the chair on the carpet. Afraid it is falling apart!
Great chair - are spare parts available?MarkLove the chair. Comfortable, good back support, and flexibility. I'm a big guy (6 ft 4 in; 280 lbs) and have had no issues with the chair (I can wheel all over my office!). However, the rubber arm rest is starting to peal back (it's the way I get upu) and would love to purchase replacement arms. Any idea if they are available?
