IKEA Markus Office Chair

Sold

Owned for 4 years, used Daily

Stress Points
Wheels. They got pretty ruffed up and would occasionally scratch the floor in my office (engineered hardwood floor)
Positive Remarks
It held up really well for the 4 years that I owned it. 3 of those years I was work from home and used the chair for 12+ hours a day.

I only sold it because I was moving across the country.

It felt very comfortable as a 180lb, 6ft tall person.

    I stayed in a well worn AirBnB for 5 weeks that had one of these. It was holding up well, and comfort was okay. Aesthetically, I’m not much of a fan.

    Use caster wheels for office chairs! No more scratching and sound! https://www.amazon.com/wheels-replacement-casters-hardwood-duty/dp/B01G643EU6/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Rubber+Wheel+Casters&qid=1657148630&sr=8-3 Check the size of the support, i think some brands use a slightly different size, but this was the best thing I bought for my chair.

    Using mine for 6.5 years now. I can only agree, good value, comfortable and lasts quite long. I didn't experience problems with a scratched floor on my pvc, but I'd generally recommend to use a protective sheet of plastic on your hardwood floor when using an office chair.
