Just added a new video on my impressions for the chair. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iKl5zLqKgZq_g9Y.html In short, It's great and comfortable but lack adjustable features prevent this from being great for all body types.

Very helpful video! I've owned this chair for about 3 years and did not know that I could adjust the tilt :( Thanks to this, I was able to adjust to support my back since I have lower back problems. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for the measurements!!!!! I was checking for my desk before I go and buy it!

Needed to know the size of the boxes the chair came in and this vid helped. Appreciate you went right into it without a long unnecessary intro

Excellent high quality video. Looks easy to put together.

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much!!

Hello. Does the metal part connecting the seat and the back stays visible or under the cover? Thanks

Hello i just wanted to ask a question: is it normal if the chair does some noise when i rock backwards/push my back backwards and forwards (without having pulled those lever things) or does it indicate that something is perhaps loose?

10000 thanks. just reversed to see how to put it back in the box 😀

thank you i didnt know how to put the wheels in

is there any way to keep it from swiveling so easily? mine swivels even when I breathe

+sendekyo I agree I had similar concerns. The headrest, armrest and lumbar support are all non-adjustable, which is unfortunate, so this chair isn't designed for every body type. I had to test it at Ikea first to verify it was perfect for me. I enjoy the mesh back as it doesn't feel warm or sticky sitting for long seasons, and the mesh still feels strong and supportive.

It's really comfortable for long sit like 10 hours a day?

This chair looks perfect. How talk are you ?

The 3 bolts at the bottom of the seat don’t attach to anything.. how does the seat stay attached the back piece??

If you reverse the seat with the back, it turns into a recliner. And if you put the arm rests upside down, it's great for yoga.

the perfect chair! bought it for 80 quid

Have you by chance also tried the IKEA FLINTAN chair? If so, which one do you like better (Because I've read some people preferring the Flintan chair over the much more pricey MARKUS which is interesting)? Also, I was looking at these chairs in their website and for some reason the vissle gray version www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00103102/#/70261145 is only 99 bucks compared to other colors that are nearly double the price...is it really just the color or is there something I'm missing?? Cuz 99 bucks for it seems like a steal, because idrc about the color. Old video but I hope you're still responding to comments !

Did you have any trouble mounting the seat to the back thing? I can't seem to find any holes to fit the screws in place on both sides.

They should just pop in. They take a bit of force but there really wasn't anything else to it other than that when I put them in.

I have three of these. The first two were bought in 2018 and both have broken (the second one broke about 20 minutes ago). So, they lasted a little over 6 years. I no longer have any receipts. I bought the third last week and depending on how they treat me I may not buy another one.

Qué guapo.

The back of the chair is rocking back and forth a lot anyone know how to fix this, i tightened every screw on this thing as far as it let me doesnt do anything

Came here looking for the measurement from the top of the armrest to the floor when the chair is all the way down, but couldn't see it.

Hello RandomBit , great videos !! What do you think about this chair ? Is she confortable ? Because i hesitate with the steelcase think and the Markus ^^ Thanks again .

@HelloDavid

+Romain Marand I find it really comfortable because I like firm and minimal chairs (I've used it for a month now), especially if I'm sitting in the chair for long periods of time. If you prefer softer cushions (i.e. do you like firm or soft bed mattresses?) or more supportive chairs like a car bucket seat there are different chairs you should look at. I haven't tired the Steelcase Think myself since it was out of my price range but a big advantage to potentially lean towards the Steelcase is if you need all the adjustments. As mentioned in another comment the Markus doesn't have many adjustable features.

The arm rests are too short for me to rest on them while using the keyboard and mouse but I typical don't rest my arms when using keyboard and mouse anyways so that's not an issue for me. Other than I have no issues using this chair for PC gaming. The lumbar support is in the right position for my ideal posture. The lumbar cushion pillow support zone is 13-23cm higher from the top of the seat base to the lumbar support area. Hopefully this wasn't too confusing and helps

When you recline in this chair, the angle between the seat and the back changes which is not what you might want. Good for sleeping, not good for working.

This chair was fairly easy to put together, the instructions were clear and I was about to follow along with no issues at all. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble. kzread.infoUgkx5hPALGI87E991DRmXev8PUFJGrrRcONS I did stuff the back of the chair with a pillow so it wouldn’t be so hollow after taking all the pieces out but that’s just a personal preference. I also added a pillow for lumbar support because although this is a great chair and is comfortable, it’s not necessarily the best if you’re sitting 10+ hrs a day wfh but in all honesty for the price, I didn’t mind at all. It looks great in my space and easily adjusts the height when needed.

You messed up at 1:08 The backrest plate should be tucked between the seat plate and the seat before screwing in those 3 screws. I know this is a 7 year old video and I'm sure your way still works, but just pointing out what the instructions go by :)
