IKEA Markus

Pros

• I have tested the Markus, and that's what I would upgrade too in case mine falls apart.
• I would look at the ikea Markus or järvfjället. It’s a mesh chair, but one of the most comfortable I’ve owned (Markus).
• I've been using Ikea Markus for a couple years. It's comfortable, has armrests, it's not super expensive. Solid and easy to put together.
• If your looking for cheap and good, Ikea Markus chair, you won't get better for the value
• Parent context: I've been using Ikea Markus for a couple years. It's comfortable, has armrests, it's not super expensive. Solid and easy to put together. Reply: I've had mine for 5 years and it's still SOLID.

Cons

• I tried an Ikea Markus and sat down for 5 seconds and went "nope". It feels like I'm perched on it; the seat is so damn shallow.
• A friend of mine uses the IKEA Markus, which is way cheaper, and he says it’s helped with his lumbar problems. But I’ve also read that the Markus’ lumbar support can actually cause more issues for some people.
• Sitting on my IKEA Markus just now - lovely chair with plenty of space for your backside and nice recline. My only gripe with it is that the arms are fixed and sit too high for my liking
