Is This POPULAR IKEA DESK CHAIR Right For You?

In todays review, we will be taking a look at the Millberget desk chair from IKEA to see if it's right for you. This is one of the most popular desk chairs in IKEA's collection. This swivel chair comes in two different colors, bomstad black and kimstad white. The main features of the Millberget are that you can adjust the height, it contains a tilt option, you can adjust how much resistance you want when leaning back and it comes safety castors which keeps the chair from rolling away. I found this office chair to be pretty comfortable at first. I like how the backrest has some extra lumbar support to make it more ergonomically friendly. The armrests of this desk chair are pretty comfortable as well because it comes with padding on top so leaning on it for longer periods of time won't cause your arms to get sore. I found the seat of this desk chair to pretty comfortable at first as well but its made up of polyurethane foam. The problem with this material is that its durability won't hold over time. At first you may be able to work for up to 8 hours at a time but after a while the foam won't hold its shape and your lower body will get sore. Another minor problem with this office chair is that you sit relatively shallow. If you are a taller person, this office chair might not be for you. But if you are a shorter person who is looking for a desk chair to use for only a couple hours at a time then I think it would be a good purchase.

I've had this for somewhere between 6 and 9 years ago - cant remember when i bought it but know where i worked and where i lived and so that's the best i can narrow it down to. Initially i was using it about 6 hours a day but after a couple of years that went up to about 12 hours a day and only over the last year it's back down to about 6 a day. It has remained comfortable and well loved for all that time. Yes the faux leather started to peel about 3 years ago - at the front under my thighs, the lower back and in patches on the upper back from my shoulder blades but i expected that and i dont notice it when im sitting in it!. If people are bothered by the thought of the peeling over time and constant use, cheap stretch seat covers from ebay or draping a fabric over might prevent it or hide it once it happens Unfortunately two weeks ago the chair succumbed to my lockdown extra weight and my heavy usage and i need to replace it - i leaned over the arm to reach a pen on the floor and the chair ended up bent at 45 degrees. i bent it back but now it bends in every direction if i move at all and feels like something will snap. As i don't still have the receipt and am unsure exactly when i got it i cant use the warranty to replace it. I've looked all over for anything that works for me as well as the Millberget does but to no avail so I'm going to head back to IKEA and hope that the new version of this is still as good. If they havent ruined it then I will get two (one for my gaming/streaming pc and one for my home office work area) That's how much i rate the comfort and support it gives and it lasted a lot longer than most chairs do with my weight and heavy usage - I can't rate it highly enough

Oh and for reference info / comparison I'm 6'1"(1,86m) and 240 lbs (110 kg) with very broad shoulders/upper back and waist, and suffer from lower back pain in most chairs after 20-30 minutes but can sit in the Millberget in comfort for 10+ hours easily.

I honestly don't think there is any chair in the world where you sit for hours and barely move but still feel comfortable lol. Our lower bloody needs blood circulation so whatever the seat is, as long you can wake up and stretch every hour your butt should be fine.

I have both the Ikea 'Markus' and 'Millberget', and imho the latter feels more comfortable than the more expensive 'Markus', however, probably due to its low cost, the Millberget develops an annoying squeaking noise after some time. In any case, I would strongly recommend you avoid the faux (p)leather option - this stuff starts to peel off pretty quickly and its not a pretty experience!

This chair was given to me a few years ago by a friend who wasn't happy with it. I took it since the chair I had was falling apart and its free so what more could I ask for. Not too long after having I noticed the chair did not have enough lower back support for me so I had to by a mesh lumbar for it. And I am glad you mentioned the shallow depth of the chair, this really started to bug me recently as the chair was beginning to lose comfort as time went on. Unless you are a short person I really dont recommend this chair, I'm just glad I got it for free instead of paying $70 for it. I just upgraded to a new chair from Staples and I am hoping this one provides better comfort and back support for me.

Did you know there are 2 version of it??? The one manufactured before 2019 and the one after? The old one is more comfy and a little bit titled backwards (at rest without using the spring tilting) and has more sponge to its front The new one is a little thinner on the front (as the one in the video) and is straight, no subtle backward tilt at rest and sometimes with heavy weight it tilts forward which is a pain in the butt... Just wanted to share, the standards change with ikea 🤷🏻‍♂️

My chair has like 8 years and doesnt make much noise, I would say its almost new in that regard, and I've raged a couple of times kicking the chair to the ground lol... so I would say the build quality its pretty fucking good. (also note that I dont use the tilt function, if I used it more it would probably be making more noise) The height adjustment mechanism broke almost two years ago, just used a small pvc pipe and its "fixed" (ofc i cant change the height anymore but I always used it at this level so all good) Armpads are worn out, but I use the chair between 2-8hours a day so its expected, and you can always buy some aftermarket ones Hope this helps whoever is thinking about buying it

@SpaniardNL 2 жыл бұрын

correct, I bought 2 of these chairs 2 years ago before I knew this. A friend of mine had a 3 year older model than mine, that was the most comfortable desk chair I ever sat in. (I'm in between 6 foot 3 and 6 foor 4) But my chairs feel horrible., I modified them to lift the front sides up about a centimer, but it's not nearly enough. They are extremely uncomfortable to sit in for me, especially for longer sessions. I just wish they still made them like they made the version my friend has, I loved that chair, but mine are horrible. Ikea refuses to acknowledge the problem, but it's actually a manufacturing and design defect that slipped in because of oversight. But they don't solve the problem because they don't acknowledge it and say the chair hasn't been changed. Bu the bottom has a completely different design to the version my friend has. The cheaper chair, I think it's called Rennberget is a chair owned by another friend of mine and that chair blows my versions out of the water in comfort. I'm debatting buying that one, but I don't trust Ikea anymore with these more budget office chairs. Burned myself on 2 of them, and am afraid to buy another manufacturing flaw by them again :(

@@melo3427 For me it gets hot and the legs and arms. My hamstrings get sore in an exhaustion type feeling. The material at the arm rest will eventually peel. I've had it for 5 years. It's great if you have bad posture (tucking leg in, slouching). It's tough to sit in for awhile, but doable if you're really focused. After 3-4 hours you'll want to sit somewhere else. So it's comfortable until you realize it isn't. But it's never uncomfortable right away.

yes and after the stealth redesign of the bottom mechanism about 2-3 years ago, these chairs tilt forward due to a design flaw and suck the absolute worst. the older models where very comfy, but the design flaw ones are horrible. I have 2 I bought with the design flaw, I hate these chairs with a passion but can't afford to replace. I hate sitting in these but have no other option.

Do yourself a favour and don't buy this chair. Normally I'm a fan of IKEA products, so I was shocked to find out how bad it is after I bought it. It has a slight but noticeable tilt to one side so if you're sitting, your weight will actually force you to twist to one side. Also, every morning when I sit on it, it goes down and I have to readjust the height once again. Arm rests are in an awkward position and are not adjustable. The material wrinkled just 2 weeks in, and I only weigh 70kgs.
