I usually have issues with my legs falling asleep in computer chairs and I don’t have that problem at all with this chair. The legs on this chair are also made of solid metal for those worried about the quality – this thing is made to last!”

Check out these highly-rated IKEA couches to go with your new chairs!
We have purchased four EKEDALEN chairs to go with our bench and farmhouse table. The covers are removable and washable. So far with my kids I have only had to spot clean with water and detergent and they have come out clean. The padding is not thin and they are comfy. We can sit for a while at the table with meals and games and no one has complained about being uncomfortable. We bought the RENBERGET office chair for the computer room and it is okay. The wheels do not roll like they should. I am not sure if it is a designer flaw or we damaged it it somehow. The chair itself is comfortable enough to be on the computer. We bought the ÖRFJÄLL swivel chair for my daughter to adjust as she gets older. She unfortunately has stained the padding/metal frame with her markers and paint, but it works for her. I also grabbed the ADDE chair for myself to sit in in my hobby room. It is plastic and I am sure it would be uncomfortable for long periods of time, but I hardly find time to do any crafting and when I do it is for short periods-so the chair fits my needs. We did purchase the KOLON floor protector mat for my daughter’s chair and our office chair. I like it and it serves it purpose.
Oh awesome! Thanks a TON for taking the time share your thoughts with us on each Ikea chair you have purchased. Good to know how they have been working for you in your home!
