*Neighbour looks out window & sees you carrying a desk chair into your garden & across the driveway, & rolling around on it* LOL

Thank you for this video! Your video helped me figure out why the seat back would not recline.

Great vid, mate! Thanks for the review.

short and precise review, thanks!

Thanks for the chair review...it was very well made and 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐲 useful, I'm going to buy the Flintan!

thanks so much for the video, I didn't know the chair could recline until a month ago and I loved it! then all of a sudden it stops reclining and I'm sat here thinking what happened, how do I recline again!? this video helped me figure it out

thank you for the review. it's very concise and helpful. i'm thinking about getting this chair.

Very informative review. Nice work!

Thanks for the complete and sincere review!! That was very useful :)

These are on sale in my local IKEA for around $50. Replacing my more expensive (but very worn out) Markus with this, as the lombar support is ace (it's exactly what I've been missing and why my back starts to hurt after gaming for a while). A great chair for a great price, even if it's not on sale!

I know this video is like, 6 years old now, but thank you so much! I could not figure out why my chair wasn't leaning and your video is the first I've seen that mentioned the locking mechanism (still is mentioned on IKEA's own website)

Thanks for the review! Trying to decide on a chair that's ergonomically good for your back and looks like this is a good choice!

Thanks a lot cuz now i can finally recline my chair !! THANK GOD love from Bahrain!

I've had this chair 3 years its still in good condition. I've only just worked out how to do the back rest recline thingy via this video so thanks. Before I was doing it but I didn't know how it was by accident everything. The instruction manual doesn't mention it.

I like your cat

Thank you for this review ; very helpful!

awesome review keep them coming!

I got this chair for online school and I approve this message. 👍🏼

great review, thanks!

I have the gray one, but I have a problem. The wheels keep to pop off. It was a little dirty so I had cleaned what was wrapped around between the bar of the two wheels. But now when I sit on it the wheels pop off. I have had this chair maybe for about a year now. Although it may seem cheap to you I don't think it was very cheap and I can't return it so It has to be fixed without spending much money. Please Help? Thank you.

Nice review! I decided to go with the Markus since I personally found it more comfortable.

Great review, mate! Got this Flintan some months ago (even if this vid has 4 years already) with its arms for editing or gaming. Definitely better than the overrated and uncomfortable gaming chairs.

best part of video gorgeous black cat. great review

I got a problem with this chair as it suddenly can't be reclined anymore. with this video I figured out how to make it lean back again thankss

Always out of stock, do you know if there's a similar chair in amazon as good and comfortable around the same price?

This chair is $99 Australian dollars in Ikea now, as of today (31 December 2019).

Good review, but in the video you mentioned '' at my height and weight '', sorry if I'm wrong but I don't recall you mentioning them. So, if you don't mind, could you mention what your height ( and weight ) is? Thanks in advance.

How tall are you? Just for comparisson

how tall are you?

I bought one of these because it was deeply discounted and they were out of the chair I actually wanted. The position it locks into is an incredibly uncomfortable hunched crouch that's absolutely murder on my back, and the reclined position is working far too hard to push you out of it and back into the uncomfortable position, where it then often locks even when you don't want it to. I'm going to see if there's some way to hack it to lock into a more reclined posture, but as it is this chair gets an F for failure.

Nice channel man :)

With the wheels you say you have "a little gripe" but for me I HATE IT SO MUCH. Have you found any solution over time?

Quick question, how long are these long sessions you speak of? I myself game for 6+ hours and are wondering if it can stay comfortable for that amount of time? Thanks

Thank you so much

What is your height? What is the chair back height? I am wondering a short person head would be able to rest on the back? Thanks

legit was using a wooden dining chair before so this feels pretty good, it was the first thing i tried out at ikea and i couldn't be bothered to try out the rest i was just like eh this is good enough lmao

can we buy and add NOMINELL armrest to this chair?

Does the recliner lock in position?

GOAT CHAIR

Would adding the armrests affect anything

For me it wont lock the chair tilt

Seriously, if anyone know how to sit on Ikea Markus comfortably please share the knowledge. The chair is killing my entire back and I can’t afford another chair. Thank you in advance.

YOU ARE SO CUTE AND THIS IS SO HELPFUL

Nice review mate! BTW what's your height? I'm thinking about buying this chair and I'm 1.68m, do you think it'd be good?

Man, I recognize that voice! :) HardwareCanucks!!

Price has gone up to $99 now

Hows the chair today?

Just bought one. A++++++ Cost= 79.00 + Tax + Shipping = 97.97 (Sept 2019)

Your heights?

The wheels don’t roll without weight, so it won’t roll away from you as you are sitting down initially. Safety feature. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are the arm rests worth it.(+€20)

nice chair, but I'll always spend a little more for a headrest

I never thought about desktop ergonomics, but now, after sitting on that chair for about a year and feeling more uncomfortable since then, I think it is better to replace it by another one. The chair that I had before was also a generic cheap chair, but I had no issues like with this one. I am 1,9m tall and ~70kg, the back of this chair feels like optimized for shorter people while the seat depth seems to be for people >= 1,90m (after watched some videos about chair ergonomics). These are just my experiences, they do not have to apply to everyone with my measures. Maybe I'm wrong and just have a damaged spine... :P

You sat on the chair for a couple of months? Damn you must got some time on your hands!

Damn, I just almost broke my wrist moments ago. I tried to catch a mosquito on the ceiling. Flitan was the only chair in my room, so I stood on that chair, and when I slapped the mosquito, by that slight reactive force the wheels rolled and the chair slid back and I fall to the floor. While it was my fault that I stood on Flintan, my old chair's wheels would not have rolled by that force. Flitan's wheels are too frictionless when weight is on. So when I am sitting on it and try to lean back, the chair slides back. And when the weight is not on, the wheels do not roll well. That is, when I try to slide it back to sit on it, it is difficult to do so. I really do not understand what logic is behind this... Shouldn't it be the opposite? Rolls well when I try to slide it back to sit on it, and does not roll well when I am sitting on it? Even for safety reasons, the wheels should roll less when someone is sitting on it.

written on the ikea website, this chair was designed and tested up to 110kg. So if you weight more than 110 kg, this chair won't work the way it was designed.

best chair

ok so i used this chair for months and months and never even knew u could recline lmfao

We have unboxed the 2020 version of this chair. Link here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7mIiNunuM60coU.html

Was expecting more comments about the cat...

As a owner of Flintan for more than a year, I wouldn't recommend this chair if you looking to to use it for long hour. My experience has been so uncomfortable and painful. I always wished I had looked for a better chair sooner. Now I have saved up and aim for the top of the line. Tips for people who need a good chair for prolonged usage: dont cheap out, take time to read up about chairs, it affects your health, focus and productivity find the one with more adjustments at your budget level and fit your body type, try it in person if you can but a couple of minutes wouldn't reflect real daily usage anyway.

thumbs up if you came here to discover how to recline LOL

raised to $99

I HATE the tension on this chair. Someone gave it to me for free from a garage sale. I just want it to lock in the lean back position.

192cm/92kg, long legs. Absolutely impossible for me to sit on it.

I'm the only one getting zapped by this chair everytime I touch the metal structure of this chair ?

I really don't thinks its worth that much money

do not buy this crap! it's horrible I have one I think over 6 months and yesterday just said enough my back is crying and feel pain in my ass if you are on budget in ikea get skalberg it's a lot better chair consider to ignore ikea at all

Very informative review. Nice work!
