IKEA office chairs - a worthy solution
Is it easy to choose a chair for the office or home? Let's figure it out together. Of course, we will choose an office chair using the IKEA catalog, compare the advantages and highlight the disadvantages, pay attention to their design, shape, adjustment mechanisms, upholstery, filling and other details. We will not ignore such important details as adjusting the office chair in height, backrest tilt and seat depth. Our review will be structured in such a way that everyone, regardless of the budget allocated for the chair, will choose exactly the option that will appeal to them and will satisfy all the individual requirements of the buyer.
So:
Office chairs in the lower price range
We include here models called SNILLE, ALRIK, VINGAL, THORBJORN, JULES, CLEMENS and STOLYAN (up to 3 thousand Russian rubles).
Inexpensive office chairs SNILLE are available in two options - a work chair and a chair for visitors. They are made of polypropylene, therefore, they are extremely resistant to dirt; care is carried out with a soft cloth, dry or moistened with detergent. SNILLE work chair is tested for a maximum weight of 110 kg, with height adjustment, and equipped with automatically adjustable wheels. The color range of SNILLE work chairs is quite wide: traditional white and black, bright green and red, blue and youth pink. The SNILLE visitor chair has the same characteristics as the work chair, the only difference is the base: the work chair has a rotating base, while the visitor chair has a permanent base, on two steel legs.
ALRIK is a very budget model of an office chair on wheels, available in only two colors: blue and red. A completely eco-friendly office chair that has been tested to meet standards. ALRIK is not difficult to clean, it is laconic in appearance, has no armrests, but the price for it is quite reasonable, and it does its job.
VINGAL - classic black and brutality attract the eye to this model of IKEA office chairs. A good, stable chair with a set of basic functions and advantages: height adjustment, automatic wheel locking, strength, reliability, safety. The main parts of the VINGAL are made of steel and leatherette.
THORBJÖRN is an armchair upholstered in 100% polyester, available in three colors: green, pink and black. THORBJÖRN has a very modern look and will no doubt appeal to the younger generation. As an additional option, the manufacturer offers PARAGRAPH , which are used in rooms with hard floor coverings. Those who are concerned about the appearance of the floor covering can use a special protective floor film from the KULUN series of products. The angled seat of THORBJÖRN ensures comfort even when you lean forward.
YULES is positioned by the company as a chair for schoolchildren, it is included in the category of chairs for children from 8 to 12 years old and is produced in 3 colors: white/silver, red, pink/silver. The YULES chair has been tested for 50 kg, the seat width is 35 cm, the depth is 32 cm, the minimum and maximum seat height (with adjustment): 38 cm and 50 cm, respectively. These parameters were specially developed by IKEA so that the student feels as comfortable as possible and does not damage his posture. By adjusting the height of the seat, the chair can be fixed in any position, depending on the height of the child.
CLEMENS is one of the few models that have design options, namely: 1. work chair without armrests; 2. work chair with armrests. Both variants are available in red and black colors. Did you purchase CLEMENS without armrests and regret it? No problem! The armrests can be purchased separately and can be easily attached. This solution will cost exactly the same amount that you would spend if you purchased a “full-fledged” option that provides optimal comfort. The CLEMENS backrest is adjustable in height, which allows you to create support for the lower back and relieve tension from the back. The seat depth adjustment feature provides support for the hips and back. The only disappointment from CLEMENS is the non-removable fabric cover, but with fabric of this quality, any simple stains can be removed with a fabric cleaner or even a regular sponge soaked in water or a mild soap solution.
STOLYAN is a
conference chair , one of the most important qualities, after comfort, of course, is ease of storage, directly related to the possibility of stacking. STOLYAN is just such an option; these chairs can be stacked up to 7 pieces. The wide range of colors will also surprise you: a combination of white and black, orange and black, blue and black, as well as the classic solution, all-black STOLYAN. The fabric base of the seat is made of 100% polyester, the frame is made of molded eucalyptus plywood, and the filling is polyurethane foam.

Another office chair is MALCOLM. This, in our opinion, is the most solid and stylish option for an office chair for an executive . Black, beige, brown colors can suit any interior and can satisfy any taste. This is the most comfortable chair, in which, thanks to the designer Ola Wihlborg, there is nothing superfluous. The MALCOLM work chair has been tested for domestic use, as well as for compliance with safety and durability requirements.

High end office chairs
We called this category a high price range (from 6999 Russian rubles) to emphasize that these chairs are not only more expensive than others, but also more interesting in appearance, presentable and extremely reliable.
So, the first chair in this category is VILLSTAD , which was created with the participation of a designer named Carl Öjerstam. VILLSTAD has been tested to meet all required standards. VILLSTAD upholstery cannot be washed or dry cleaned, but it can be cleaned with a special shampoo intended for furniture or with a vacuum cleaner. The colors in which the chair is presented are anthracite and turquoise. The general composition of the work chair mainly consists of polyester and 3% nylon. The seat and back cushion are made of polyester wadding and highly elastic cold polyurethane foam, which provides maximum comfort, and also due to this, the chair will retain its shape for many years. The upper part of the armrest is covered with genuine leather. VILLSTAD dimensions: depth - 56 cm, height - 95 cm, width - 56 cm.
VOLMAR is a work chair with a modern appearance. The VOLMAR office chair is available in several versions:
— classic: black muk, beautiful and without unnecessary frills;
- combined: green, blue or dark gray with black.
A striking distinctive feature of the VOLMAR chair is the removable headrest, which serves to ensure maximum comfort. Removable armrests make it possible to lean back in the chair and, taking a comfortable position, take a break during the working day, relieving fatigue from the spine and arms.
By the way, the chair was tested for 110 kg and has a height of as much as 121 cm, with a maximum seat height of 57 cm (minimum seat height is 40 cm). These parameters are adjustable and allow you to create comfort for the sitter, regardless of his height. To provide back and hip support, the seat depth is also adjustable. Let's also pay attention to the presence of support in the lumbar area for additional comfort. As for cleaning VOLMAR from dyed leather with a treated embossed pigmented surface, the best results can be achieved by regularly treating the surface of the work chair with leather care products from the ABSORB series.
Another extraordinary model presented in this category is the MARCUS office chair . Its “zest” lies in the transparent mesh soft back, which allows air to pass through. The color scheme is quite bright and, it seems to us, will satisfy any taste: black, green, orange and blue. MARCUS has a set of all modern functions and options: tilt adjustment, tilt locking, lumbar support, height adjustment, rubber coating of wheels, etc. The minimum and maximum height of MARCUS, taking into account adjustments, is from 133 to 143 cm with the height of the seat itself from 45 to 57 cm.
office chair or, more precisely, conference chair with adjustable seat, upholstered in wool fabric, which is a wear-resistant and stain-resistant material, has been tested and approved for office use. The overall composition of the chair is made of 100% wool, and the frame is made of oak veneer, which is a very environmentally friendly solution. The chair is presented in only one color scheme, but, nevertheless, it is quite “non-binding” and can suit almost any interior. The depth and width of FJELLBERGET are 67 cm each, the seat height is adjustable from 43 to 86 cm.
In our review, we tried to consider all the options for office chairs from IKEA and we hope that this will help you in choosing your work chair option.
