Ratings and reviews
Very easy to assemble, very aesthetically pleasing ErsiliaWe have purchased 20 of this chairs for our staff room and will continue to purchase more as the team grows
Tobías chairs. Super comfy but design flawed MWe love these chairs. They are so comfortable. Unfortunately we have had issue with the seat cracking down the middle. They will replace the chair if it happens within a year with proof of when it was purchased but it has also happened after a year. I would have switched to a different chair but they are just so comfy otherwise. I wish they were able to just replace the seat as it is not very environmental or cost effective to replace the whole item but obviously that’s not my call. It would be awesome if they could redesign them so this doesn’t happen. Then I’ve give them 30 stars !
Cracked as well - just over a yearElenaThe chair cracked and not sure even how, just noticed it the other day. Otherwise look good and easy to clean
So great!BrieI owned these chairs in black way back in the day. I searched everywhere for chairs that would look good in my breakfast room and finally decided on these. The blue shade is sooooo incredible, even more beautiful in person. For being a hard chair with no cushion I just can’t get over how comfortable these chairs are. I thought that had been a figment of my imagination. Thank you IKEA!
Durable ChairVerified BuyerWhen we purchased the chair I was unsure of the durability. Well it holds out great. I can’t speak of the 243lb weight limit so I keep a sturdy rocking chair close by just in case. The acrylic hasn’t shown any signs of scratches from the constant movement of getting on and off the chair. My only recommendation would be is to get the padding for it. It is a firm sit down which I like but my wife prefers the padding of a pillow on it.
Poor quality, bad customer serviceAnaI purchased 4 of these chairs and after a few months of barely using them, one chair cracked in half. I called customer service to see if they can repair or replace it. I was basically told they have no solution for me since this chair is not covered by warranty. What a frustrating experience and waste of money.
split in halfHannahi love the design and look of this chair but seriously paid over $125 for this chair just to have it for 6 months and it splits down in the middle? i’m not even heavy i weigh 111.2 pounds. make better quality or sum cuz $125 for a chair that ain’t even last me a year is crazy
Tobias chairPaulineAbsolutely delighted with our new chairs- they look great, extremely comfortable and silent when dragged across the floor
Watch for spare partsRomanVery nice chairs, but seems to be there are a lot of returns. The returned items could be scratched up (seat part) or missing parts (front or back screws for frame part). The seat is slightly lower than other chairs, so might need some adjustment.
Could give you open wounds/injure youTeminaI have had these chairs for a few years. The first one cracked maybe 2 years ago. The second one just cracked and actually almost cut my skin/it pinched and would have been stuck if I had stood up instead of moving around. It hurt a lot but thankfully it didn't actually split because it would have not only cut me but I would have fallen and likely injured my back. Worse if it were to happen during an important meeting. It's pretty sad because I weight not more than 50 kgs/110 pounds and I love the look of these and how solid they seemed while they lasted... I hope for the sake of buyers that the more recent batches have been fixed.

Nice chairs, but they crack sooner or laterMarianneI bought 6 chairs Oct. 2021, loved them and still love them, but the first 2 cracked after one year. We got them replaced and I was hopeful that it wouldn’t happen again. Wishful thinking! Last week 2 chairs cracked again within a couple days, don’t know wether the original or replaced ones. I called IKEA but it seems they’re not replacing them or giving any refunds. Not happy at all.
Amazing!ChristianI’m absolutely loving my dining room with this amazing blue chairs, also very comfortable and looks amazing with a white table! 🤍
CrackedGraceLove these chairs, but 4 out of 7 chairs have cracked. It is past the return date, I wish we could just replace the seats. Chairs for this price should last longer than 3 years.
Could be easier to assembleTomCould be easier to assemble with clear instructions regarding the seat disks
love it!Jaimei was so happy when i found out the chair i had bought at a vintage store was an ikea chair and was still current, so i went to the website and bought a second one to make the pair in my living room, love it.
beautiful chair but they crack down the middle through normal use.ReenaI love the look of the chair. Bought 8 and all cracked one at a time over a short period. It is very frustrating as we have chairs that are taped together so as not to pinch and cut anybodies upper legs. Ikea really should redesign the seat supports so that this does not happen as they are very beautiful knock offs of classic design chairs. You can do better.
Beautiful DesignWayneWe are very pleased with the look and design of these chairs. On top of that, they are quite comfortable! Assembly was straightforward. I am concerned about the many reviews that complain about the chairs cracking. I would like to think that for the price point they would be durable…but I’ve only had mine for a few days so I really can’t comment on their quality just yet. Time will tell.
Cute but breaks easyPorschaYou have to sit on the chair properly, if you lean on it with your knee or side sideways it will break/crack in the middle, had to exchange the chair a few times because of this issue.
