Reviews

A comfortable armchairAnonymous reviewerVery comfortable every day armchair. Chenille covering is very comfortable but those catch hairs (animal and human) and threads (I often sew) so needs frequent sticky roller or hoovering. An ikea removable cover solved this problem.4
Not the most comfortable Anonymous reviewerThe chair looks really good but was a nightmare to put together. I don’t find it the most comfortable chair but have decided to keep it and replace the seat cushions to make it more comfortable. 3

Lounge chairAnonymous reviewerGreat looking chair and comfortable to sit in. Not the easiest to assemble.4
Nice chair, but..Anonymous reviewerNice chair, however as a woman I really struggled to put this together (adding the wings was a nightmare) and I’m not strong enough to tighten the bolts properly4
ChairAnonymous reviewerStruggled to put together, needs two people. Legs not very strong4
Comfortable chairs, reasonably priced.Anonymous reviewerGreat chairs, we bought 2 when we moved house. Exactly what we were looking for.5
Great chair to sit in once you've tired yourself out trying to assemble the dratted thing. Anonymous reviewerNow that it is put together, I love this chair. It's beautiful, the fabric feels lovely and the chair is comfortable. I really like the high back, it feels very supportive on my neck and I look forward to many evenings curled up in it. However, I will never buy another one because I simply refuse to put myself through assembling it ever again. I basically live in an IKEA catalogue and assembled everything myself problem-free up until now. I actually cried in frustration trying to get the wings to hook on properly - when I did, the bolts only lined up with the holes through what felt like an hour of pushing and pulling and begging and even then they're barely tightened. So, I love it now but I'd advise buying pre-assembled. It's expensive so didn't seem worth it overall. Probably great if you want a workout though!3
Pretty chair, nightmare to assembleAnonymous reviewerThe fact that it only requires 8 nuts/bolts to assemble sounds good.... but... Keeping the arms in position when you turn it on its side IS impossible. Use REAL tools, not the socket thing they provide. You WILL require 13mm socket and ratchet.... Soft mallet to tap arm in position. Philips screw driver.... I am efficient in doing flat pack, but please make sure you have some assistance to apply pressure where needed. The 10 year guarantee is all that justifies the price, not the wood quality.3
Good value, easy to assembleAnonymous reviewerGood value, easy to assemble except for arms.4
Beautiful chair, but the assembly of the arm rests takes astonishing amount of wrangling!Anonymous reviewerthe assembly of the arm rests takes astonishing amount of wrangling! The hook which enters the chair frame takes knack to get in. The instruction should include diagram of how the arms need to be pushed down at a certain angle. It really got my knickers in a twist , I found changing the cam belt on my boxer engine much more straight forward...perhaps I'm just rubbish end of story5
Black marksAnonymous reviewerIf you move the chair on wooden flooring it leaves black marks.. not happy1
Struggled with assembly of theAnonymous reviewerStruggled with assembly of the arm pieces! But looks fabulous do very pleased5
Lovely chair very comfy slightlyAnonymous reviewerLovely chair very comfy slightly tricky to build5
Hard to assembleAnonymous reviewerThe chair looks amazing but it was a nightmare to put together. Those wings just did not want to slide into place. I think I spent half an hour on that step alone. I'd recommend having someone to help if you plan to build this.4
Great chair but quite difficultAnonymous reviewerGreat chair but quite difficult to assemble. Particularly the sides. However very comfortable.5
This chair nearly grew wings as I was tempted to throw it out if the window during assemblyAnonymous reviewerIt was comfortable in the store and the range of colours was lovely. But assembling at home was the biggest pain in the proverbial part… I’m no ikea virgin - I’ve assembled a fair few bits of furniture - beds, desks, chairs with drawers. But this took the cake - trying to put the Arms with their bloody hooks on the main body was near impossible and will be included as one of the 12 tasks of Hercules. Once the wings were on, trying to secure them with the 2 screws onto the base led to another round of swearing and great frustration. Why on Earth is this chair so hard to assemble? As I write this review I am currently seated in the Strandmon, which is probably lopsided, trying to work out how much I should get paid for putting this together… Normally I feel okay about IKEA pricing - you get what you pay for most of the time… but this chair isn’t worth the 250 price tag I’m afraid. If you can find it second hand, already assembled, go for it.3
Great chair just ignore some reviewers!Anonymous reviewerPicked this chair up a few weeks after sitting on it in store and falling in love with how comfortable it is. I read many reviews to make sure I wasn't making a faux pas and buying something that wasn't up to standard for a house full of kids and animals but was NEARLY put off by the reviews of how difficult this thing was going to be to put together. I read claims of 2+ hours of build time, returning the chair, misaligned pieces, and poor quality construction but thankfully experience none of this. The hardest part was fitting the (bigger than I had anticipated) box in the van I had forgotten to empty, before venturing to the shop but years of Tetris practice ensured I made it home with the chair. Assembly was very straightforward and took less than half an hour with it being made up of 4 main parts than easily bolt together. Now I have a chair by the window to sit in and read and be nosey watching the neighbours come and go and I can't think of anything better! Thank you5

Story

From vintage sitting to modern life

Do you sometimes get a little nostalgic? We do. That’s why we created STRANDMON wing chair. Its design is inspired by an IKEA chair from the 50’s called MK – a favourite of the IKEA founder, Ingvar Kamprad. It was even on the cover of our first catalogue. But how could it be refreshed and adapted to today’s demands? Well, we found a few ways…

Like the quality. Back in the 50’s, most people used chairs just to sit in. Nowadays, we curl up in our chairs, drape our legs over armrests and eat where we sit. We put higher demands on our furniture. Our product developer Ulf Engström explains what STRANDMON has to put up with. “It’s tested to make sure it can take a person that sits and gets up at least 50,000 times. That’s the same as sitting and getting up once a day for 136 years.”

Now in bits and pieces

The aim was to create a comfortable and high quality chair that was a real bargain. For example, Ulf and his colleagues decided to put it in a flat pack. “It has made it possible to have a lower price and reduce emissions during transportation, explains Ulf. The flat pack will also make bringing home STRANDMON a whole lot easier, especially for everyone who doesn’t have a car that can fit a pre-assembled wing chair.

Some things never change

The wing chair perhaps had its golden era long ago, but who knows, it might be considered a must-have in people's homes once again. “People have changed the way they live since the 50's, but the need for affordable quality furniture is still the same. I think that is one of the reasons to why STRANDMON is so popular,” says Ulf. The flat pack and the lower price, together with new colours and patterns, will definitely make it easier for more people to find the right spot for STRANDMON in their home. And – of course – experience some well-deserved comfort.

Material

What is cotton?

Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.
