I was so happy with my Ikea MARCUS that I bought another for my hobby desk. $200 bucks, mesh back, comfy seat and reclines/locks. The armrests are removable which is great since I prefer them removed.
I have been sitting on these chairs daily for 8-16 hours a day for ~8 years now with no pain and no complaints. They hold up quite well too.
With the money saved vs an aeron between the two I could buy a laptop.
- ska 5y agoI think chairs is all pretty individual, but for what it's worth I replaced an Aeron with one of these, happily. The Aeron was only ever "pretty good" for me, no matter the adjustments I made.
- haswell 5y agoI’ve been using one of these chairs for about ~8 years now, and while it’s starting to show its age (the faux leather head and armrests are deteriorating), I’m still impressed by how well it has held up and even more surprised by how comfortable it is. It’s reaching the end of its useful life, and now I’m in the market for a new chair. I’ve wanted to try one of the “top” ergonomic chairs for awhile, but I also know I can just keep coasting for another $200…I just might get another one.
- Babylonian_2021 5y agoI have had the same chair since 2015, and recently bought one for a friend and for my younger brother who have been very satisfied with it. To me it really is a chair that is sort of an end-of-the-line, as I have never felt any need for a better chair. One of my favorite "upgrades" is indeed removing the armrests to be able to sit high from the ground, but right under the desk. Major kudos for the engineer/designer who made the IKEA Markus, especially for a relatively low price of €150.
