I sat in one at work for years and it was very comfortable, and on hot days you'll love the breathable back. If they would update with adjustable arms it would be nigh-on perfect. This user hacked his chair and it looks great:

Ikea Markus with adjustable arms!

When I got my new one I noticed to my dismay that the arm rests were even worse than my old one as they have now removed what little padding was there and now it is hard rubber.

This prompted me to go down the modding route and I've ended up with something that is now perfect for me. It's the precise height for my arm when using the mouse and I have 35mm of thick memory foam padding that cushions my elbows and is so much more comfortable and a good deal wider. Plus I can now sit closer to my desk, something the closed loop design of the original armrest prevented me from doing and a small bonus is when the chair is not in use I can push the chair all the way under the desk.

Thanks again @eurokage as I'm now in office/gaming chair heaven.

You're welcome. Great mods!
