Watch my initial chair review HERE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMV5g91k3dzTink.html

Thanks man, loved hearing your perspective on this!

Thanks so much for this!! I tend to go into that position myself so I definitely don't want a chair that encourages it, very helpful video 💚

Just want to get one, thanks for your advice~

If you’re having back pains, maybe also best to use an external monitor with height adjustment. You can get a quality refurbished Dell monitor for around a 100 dollar. You’re already using a laptop stand which is great, but that screen is still to low compared to your seating position.

You saved me, man. Thanks!

Thanks for making this honest video. I was also considering the Markus! But this review was 3 years ago. How do you like this chair today? Have you considered or heard of the Millberget or the Renberget?

Hey mate, good review! I’m looking for a office chair atm. Can I ask, are you still using this chair and if so how is it going for you??

I was looking for a good office chair on the cheap and you just convinced me to get the Flintan, mainly because we both have the same height!

Thank you man. You said you did some research, is there nothing better for 150$?

You still prefer the flinton over the markus? Tested flinton today very nice with armrests. I do like the markus for lounging but think my head and neck feels more free with just the flinton with armrests. Thanks

Just ordered one because im also not the biggest dude i hate arm rests cause i tend to lean on them which causes backpain the next day and also my desks doesnt support most armrests. I just need something comfy rn

Just bought one too! I wonder if it is possible to adjust the tense extent of the chair back? For example ease the screws? Because it is a little uncomfortable to hold the chair back using force of my back. Just not that relaxed.

Bro. I just tested both of this chairs at the ikea store and i find the flintan is more comfortable. Maybe bcs im not that tall im 5'5. Is the flintan comfy for 5-6 hours of work/gaming?

Hi, do you still feel the same way about the chair? Do you still prefer it over the other chair?

Just got my ikea flintan, after siting a couple of hours, the chair seat got thinner permanently. Poor lumbar support too

Should have gone for Ikea Hattefjall, my man. All the problems you mention (height, headrest) are also my concerns and seem like technically non existent in that chair. The only two cons (not to me but for many people) is the backrest is not lockable, and the armrests have more distance between them to put your arm on them and type. However, both are not necessarily bad. You need to push a bit with your legs to recline the backrest, which is good because some of your leg muscles get a bit workout from this, whereas the ideal is to walk around and stretch, use your movement muscles in essence, every 20 minutes. Not having a headrest means you have more space to move your head, front, back, left, right, twist whatever you want to do between long hours of work. As for the armrests, if you have a properly height adjusted desk, you can just put your arms on the desk and have the monitor on top of couple of books to match your eye-height. Done! Ikea pretty much made a foolproof chair here. All these are hypothetical of course, I haven't bought either of these chairs but after going through people's experience online, these are my thoughts. Would be nice if someone who actually uses the Hattefjall chimes in!

I just want to ask the ppl who have Flintan for a long time. Is it still comfortable? Should I buy it?

Thanks for review! Will the Flintan be good for a person with 193cm height? In my country, Flintan (with armrests included!) is like twice as cheap as Markus (75eur vs 150eur). Im afraid of not having the headrest. The problem is, I don't think there is any chair in this price range which could compare to this from IKEA.

I’ve bought this chair and I have a question: when recline mechanism is locked I sit down and I put pressure on the back of the chair with my back, it still reclines a little(1-2cm) until it hits the lock, the back is not fixed in place completely, is that suppose to be like that? Is that a part of the mechanism?

Thanks for the review, is it still holding up well?

i just bought the flintan. but the way the chair felt on the store and the way it felt after i assembled it myself, both felt different? it felt so comfy when i tested it on the store but when i try it at home after i assembled it felt less comfy than on the store, like the back felt stiff? idk how to explain it. am i screwing the screws too tight? that's how its supposed to be right?

I feel like flintan forces, you to sit up straight,, but in the markus it's easier to slouch, could be why ur getting back pain.

if im 5.9 should i get flintan?

There is also adjustable version of markus. Why didnt you picked that? I am between markus and that new version of markus.

Hows the chair now? Does it hurt your back or your neck at all? Thank you for the video!

I thought this was an expensive chair. Just realize how poor I am. I feel the back pain as well. And it is very weird some day I don’t feel anything at all even with long hours like 10 plus hours but some day I have upper back pain switching with lower back pain.

lezgoo!!!

May I know why you sit on Markus in your latest video? Are there any problems with Flintan?

good video peter

Hey buddy, how tall are you? I wonder if Markus chair would be a goof fit for me or not

im 5 11 and i found the Flintan comfier than the markus after testing it out at the store. im still not super impressed with the flintan chair however. I don't like how the seat makes my legs slightly slide down. id recommend a footrest to fix that issue. im also not impressed with the cushioning of the seat. looking to resolve that as well. Ultimately, if for whatever reason, you go to ikea and want an office chair id recommend the flintan. but just stay away from ikea office chairs.

Which one provides better lumbar/lower back support?

I have 211 pounds, is this chair going to withstand my weight?

I felt comfortable for long seat in Flintan IKEA about more 1 hour

You need one

U should do ASMR with this voice:)

Just a word of warning. I'm 5'6 and have owned this chair for a number of years and now suffer with back and neck problems. The chair is not suited for short people, the headrest will promote bad posture without you even realising it.

i'm 5.9 what a dilema

Im fat, and this chair is the best! :)

You should’ve bought it with armrest bro

it doesnt force ur head to stay forward, theres something called adjusting the chair

You talk just like Kirk Hammett 😁

Do not buy this guys do it for ur back
