Computer Chair Ikea Markus

I'm off to Ikea tomorrow to most likely buy the Markus chair but have two quick questions.

Does anyone know roughly how big the box is?
I've got a fiesta so I doubt it will be a problem but better safe than sorry!

Is it really as good as you all say?
I will be using it for roughly 8-10 hours most days so need comfort

Thanks in advance

the chair will come in a flat packed box so fitting it in a fiesta will not be a problem and yes the chair is as comfy as we all say it is.

Yeah, I can vouch for both of those. Got mine a few weeks ago.

Good choice!

No problem fitting in a Fezzer, it came in a weird almost L shaped box for me, but from memory it wasn't much more than 100x80 at most, and maybe 30-40cm deep.

Make sure you sit in it in the shop... Don't just go straight to the warehouse

You might find another one you like more.

I've got that chair, very comfortable and well worth the money, I've had it a couple of years now and it hasn't fallen to pieces! I managed to get it comfortably in the back of a Corsa, so I would have thought it would go in a Fiesta.

If you a big guy and dont sit with your leg crossed I found it uncomfortable as when your sitting your legs are against the metal sides.

IF so then the Markus allows you to unscrew the metal sides so there are no sides and no problem
As for the OP, another happy Markus chair owner here, but do go sit in it first and make sure you are happy with it

They give box dimensions on the website.

Yes and without the arms its kind of useless. I was merely pointing out if hes a big guy then its uncomfortable. I did however sell mine to my next door neighbour whos skinnier lol. He loves it.

Its nice and comfy for long sessions.

Just remember to buy a big bag of daim mini's while you are there. Went there myself this week and have nearly done the 400g bag already

cheers guys

I'm 6ft tall and average build so hopefully it will be just right, will definitely be testing it first though

I've been through quite a few chairs in my time, and can honestly say this is the best I've had yet for the price.

Never sat on one of those chairs but they look so uncomfortable in the pictures in my mind. Compared to like a big nice leather chair..

If this is the tall backed, black mesh chair, then yes - it is very comfy.

sammo62 · 15 Jul 2010 at 23:20

Sitting in one right now- really like it!

Is the Markus actually that good? It looks like some kind of death chair to me.

my Markus has been sensually caressing my arse for a good eight months now, and i don't see it stopping any time soon.
