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.

Perfect for reading, knitting, viewingRebeccaI wasn’t looking for a chair on my IKEA visit, but this one stopped me in my tracks as I walked through the displays. The style was distinctive without being showy, and the green velvet upholstery option was perfect for my aesthetic. I sat in the chair and found it to be amazingly comfortable—within a few minutes I purchased it.
Assembly instructions were easy to follow. I did ask a friend to help me with the final assembly step (attaching the “wings” which were large and a bit heavy) but it only took about 40 minutes to set up in total.
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.
Third time is not a charm!MaryWe purchased 2 slightly used STRANDMON Wing Chairs. We were unsure if the design is flawed or the used items were damaged prior to purchase. So, we decided to buy a new chair from IKEA, same model. This chair also has a major design flaw. The back legs, attached to a board which seems to buckle over time. The newly purchased chair is 2 years old. We’ve had great experiences with other IKEA purchases, this chair is such a disappointment.
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!
Pretty chairNoahIt all depends on the color. The navy blue works really well among my living room neutrals. Classic yet modern enough pop of color. The problem? They canceled the navy color. WHY? IKEA - you need better colors for this great chair.
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
Nice decorDeniseI bought this chair for the look. And honestly that's all you're going to get out of it. Not very comfortable. But it's still a nice piece.
Assembly instructions not clearYimingIt took me most of the afternoon to figure out that the side should be pressed down until the bent iron rod is bent and embedded in it so that the other parts can be aligned. After I nearly broke the wooden chest of drawers during assemy, I wouldn't have dared to press it so hard at first.
Still assembling. I will write another review if I find any new details after using it for a while.
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
love this chairLauraI am really happy with the Strandmon chair. It takes a bit of effort to put together, but it's worth it. It looks beautiful in my living room and is really comfortable and supportive.
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.
ObsessedRoxanneLove love love this chair! The color is perfect and it's so comfortable.
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!
Love this Wing Chair BetzabetWe bought this chair on sale last Xmas and we love it. The side winds allowed you to recline rear your head. The seat is in an angle deep so that you feel like a nice hold to you whole body. The hight of the legs is not to tall so that your legs stay nice and comfy on the floor with out hanging. We have had other IKEA's arm chair and this we think is the most comfortable. Also, the size over all is not too tall not too bulky, so it does not over crowd the living room. Further, it's a gorgeous dark green velvet tapestry that goes nice with my urban rustic home style but there a lot of colors and styles to chose. It is strong yet light. We love this chair, even the cats.
Esthetically pleasing NizahetaLove the chair, it is comfortable and elegant piece of furniture . Love when ikea uses soft and durable fabric for furniture! Please ikea bring more covers in solid neutral colors.
Seat Cushion Fabric Does Not Wear WellGeorgeI lived with my Strandmon for a year and half now. The fabric for the seat cushion began showing signs of wear after a year and is getting progressively worse with time. Time to invest in a seat cover.

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.
