Reviews
PoangJillI have purchased probably six of these over the years. I love the versatility of being able to change the cushion and find a matching foot rest that one of the most comfortable chairs there’s a little bit of bounce in it, which makes it even more comfortable.
NiceLucyWas looking forward to getting this chair. Both my children have it and I took it back to Hawaii. Happy to have it but sad the cushion are alittle large for the chair and slips down . Not sure if that is supposed to to happen. Comfortable
Bought two to take to AlaskaRebeccaMy hometown is approximately 2000 miles away from the closest IKEA. This means that twice I have brought this under-50-pound chair and brought it as checked luggage, as a gift for my mother. People will complement these chairs and their comforters all the time at her house.
The new cushion design is better and more comfortable, although quite a bit more expensive — I do wish that there was a middle cost range option.
Not same as photosAlbertoThe wood finish is very rough, got the Walnut version and it is not the same finish you see in the pictures. The wood is the same light color with a stain and NO satin finish. It is comfortable but at this price point the quality of the finishing is very poor.
Good chairCookEasy to put together pretty comfortable. So far enjoy it
No longer the best chairAnneI used to have Poang chairs and really loved them, but stupidly got rid of them. So I decided to re-order now and get a new one. This one is just not the same. The quality is not what I would expect for IKEA and it is no longer as comfortable as it used to be. The parts aren’t even going together correctly. And the cushion is no where in sight. Sadly, I will have to return it, but I will have to rent a car and drive two hours to do that. A very expensive return.
Comfortable, bounces slightly without smashing toesCherylVery nice alternative to traditional rocking chairs, gives a slight bounce but flat frame doesn't roll and smash toes. Neck cushion is a nice height for a 5'5" person, and it's very comfortable. I like the slightly reclined position, since I get vertigo from a full recliner. I had some minor frustration with assembly, but only because I didn't read the instructions carefully and was trying to screw the wide-thread screws into the narrow-thread holes. Everything fit together perfectly once I used the correct screws. I live in a multi-pet household, so furniture with easily replaceable upholstery is a must. I got the Vissle deep green, which is cheerful and brightens up the room. I only got it because the frame was on closeout sale, but would definitely be willing to pay full price now that I've tried it out.
Perfect Chair for MeKristenPretty, comfy, and good sized. I like how it’s not a bulky chair and it doesn’t take up more space than needed. The green is very pretty.
awesome chairLuischair is very comfortable and you can choose from a variety of colors
Do Not Buy!BarThis cushion is EXTREMELY uncomfortable for an average height woman. It is a torture to sit on. The head cushion sticks out to much! I have no idea what the designer was thinking. I had an older style cushion that was very comfortable.
Most Comfortable Chair EverMatthewThis chair is perfect. You can read a book, watch a television show, or just fall asleep. It feels like you're sitting on a cloud, and takes about 30 minutes to build. I personally went with the Gunnared Dark Gray, and it's soft, and makes you feel like you're retired (even if you're not). 10/10.
Looks new forever!KimberleyPurchased in '06-'07 with matching footstool for family "recliner" where various people read, eat, drink, crochet, fall asleep, etc. Twenty years ago. Has taken an assortment of beatings. If I had a quarter for every time food or drink was spilled, for how many times I've used with heating pad for my back or the stool for my knees, for every time young fam members bounce it way too hard ... Wood has hardly a nick or scratch, and when I wipe it down with wood cleaner, it shines like new. Yesterday, for the first time - in 20 years - removed upholstery cover to wash (hot & then line dry, as directed): Takes some work to get the internal foam cushions out, & especially back on; but so worth it: The upholstery is also like new. So I'm looking at this brand new 20yo chair next to our other furnishings ... it's practically heirloom quality. My son & DIL just bought first house. I think I'll gift them one.
Great armchairSandraVery comfortable and stylish. Easy to assemble. Many color options and matching cushion that you purchase separately.
Poor qualityAnonymousThe hole on one side of the the chair back where you bolt in the chair arm was drilled almost a fuli inch off from where it should have been positioned. Managed to bolt it together, but can't believe how shoddy Ikea furniture now is! Had similar problem with a Hemnes tv stand - holes were just drilled in the wrong places, or not drilled out completely. Unacceptable, Ikea!
Built wellEdwardMore comfortable than I ever expected, very happy with purchase
Pieces don’t fit!ArleyYears ago I put together a POANG chair and it was very easy. This new one is frustrating because some of the holes don’t match and I can’t finish putting it together. Now what?
Warning for ParentsHannahI am currently sitting in this chair with my baby, about to have an absolute crash out. For the love of god, DO NOT get this chair for your nursery. The rocking base barely rocks, my calves are getting so strong, but not because I want them to! The worst thing about this chair is that it is so lightweight, it constantly scoots as you’re rocking in it. You’re trying to get your baby to sleep and just praying that they fall asleep before the chair you pulled several feet away from the wall is hitting the wall because it migrated across the room with each rock.
The chair is comfortable and looks nice with all of the other ikea furniture in my nursery, so I’ll give it that. But I am truly about to lose my mind, and wish I hadn’t spent my rocking chair budget on this pick.
Nice ChairStephenI like this chair vs a rocker. Total cost is really not reasonable unless you get a discount like we did. Easy to assemble. Cushion is ok but could be thicker. The down side the thicker cushion is overpriced and sold separately.
Beautiful and comfortable WendyLove this. Buy with matching ottoman. So comfortable
chairs are great but...Christhese chairs are great but the covers are not. washing them is nice, but putting the foam back in is like herding cats. for whatever reason there's "sticky" fabric lining the inside and it makes it nigh impossible to arrange the foam correctly. mine are somewhat older so maybe the newer ones don't have it.

Material
What is layer-glued wood?
With layer-glued wood it’s possible to create flexible and extra strong constructions with curved shapes, like frames for armchairs. The secret is a technique where many layers of thin wood veneer are glued together and then pressed into the desired shape. We often use wood like birch, beech, ash and even bamboo – and strive to use the raw material as smartly and efficiently as possible to avoid waste. Just like solid wood, it has natural variations in structure and colour.
