IKEA Markus office chair review

IKEA Markus office chair

Something else I’ve been meaning to post since forever! 🙂 I’ve had several office desk chairs over the years in my home office, and some of them have been pretty crappy and nothing near how they were advertised or appeared in “marketing”. I’m not going to list them because I’ve long since forgotten them and who made them. I suppose the fact that I wasn’t prepared to spend several hundred or a thousand dollars on them might have something to do with my being unimpressed by them.

I bought at least a couple of them from Staples, although I suppose I can’t really blame Staples for the quality of products manufactured by someone else. A few years ago though I bought a Markus office chair from IKEA, and it still serves me very well to this day.

Sure, it doesn’t quite look quite as sumptuous as the types of chairs you see in Hollywood scenes of some high-powered CEO’s darkened office, but the fact is that it’s very comfortable and it lasts! Whether you work from home or you do have an oak-panelled office on the top floor of some skyscraper, this chair is an excellent investment of the few dollars that it costs, C$200 as of this moment on the IKEA Canada website.

Buy it!
