Ikea Markus - size of the box..

markwombat · 21 Mar 2011 at 20:06

Firstly, apologies for the generic, random post, but I know a lot of you guys have this chair and so I couldn't think of a better place to ask.

I am planning on buying the Markus at the weekend, however, I will be buying it while moving house, so am concerned how big the box is, and more importantly whether it will fit in my already full car!

So, does anybody know the dimensions of the box? I can find assembled size on their website, but no package dimensions.

Many thanks in advance!!

It fit into the back of a Ford Ka very easily, if that helps.

IIRC, about 100 x 50 x 15cm. But don't quote me.

It's not a small box.....the chair is very tall and the box reflects this. I don't know the exact dimensions but I did think it was quite large. It's also not rectangular and has a bulge that comes out to accommodate the base if I remember correctly.

Because I'm a nerd and take pictures of everything:

Didn't record the dimensions but maybe that gives you an idea.

That's great, thank you very much for all of your replies!!

I think I'll give a game of "Car Tetris" a go and hope I can fit everything in

Thanks again

They normally give package dimensions on the ikea website, on my phone so can't check right now but it should be part of the product description.

Edit: The awake part of me has just noticed you've already checked, sorry!

They're getting bad at not putting this down, especially for stuff that can be ordered over t'web.

Congratulations on choosing to buy the best sub-£400 chair in the world

remember to keep your receipt! it's required for the 10-year warranty

I taped mine to the underside of the chair
