This guide needs images that better demonstrate how to perform specific actions. Some of this guide's text is confusing, duplicated, or off-topic.
Clarify it by editing! If the Poang-style chair sold by IKEA is assembled incorrectly, it can cause the seat to dip and tip when it's sat on. This guide will describe the steps necessary to fix this problem and otherwise increase the stability of the chair. Start by removing the seat cushion from the frame. Remove the upper bolt, which attaches the back of the seat to the armrests. Remove the lower bolt, which is the upper bolt attaching the seat to the legs. Remove the same bolts on the opposite side of the chair. To loosen the bolts, turn the Allen wrench to the LEFT, as shown in the video. Separate the back and seat of the chair from the legs and the armrest. Re-attach the bolts removed in Steps 2 and 3. Put each bolt into the correct location before tightening each bolt. If the bolt attaching the seat tightens too easily, it is not in the hole and rests above or below the wood of the seat. This is what causes the tipping or dipping of the seat.
When attaching the bolt for the back of the chair, insert a plastic washer between the wood of the chair leg and the wood of the chair back. Without this washer, the two pieces will not sit flush. This allows the chair to shift and may cause the chair to become unstable. For maximum stability, fully tighten all of the bolts in the chair. As shown in the video, tighten by turning the Allen wrench to the RIGHT. Set the chair cushion on the chair seat. Secure the Velcro on the cushion to the Velcro on the chair back. 2 other people completed this guide.

Recovering an Ikea pöang chair.We just happened to make great replacement covers that fit perfectly to IKEA's most popular sofas, chairs and armchairs Reviews of IKEA Kivik, Carlstad & Poang? Q: After two years in a bad living situation, I'm finally getting my own place and I'm super excited because I have always wanted an apartment with a white/blue/black beach theme. I have an extremely tight budget and can only spend about $400 on a sofa. I had settled on either the Ikea white Kivik or Carlstad sofas. However, I have read mixed reviews. If it is a bad purchase I would have to disassemble it and ship it back to them at my own expense, which is out of the question. I just don't want to waste what little money I've got on a bad product. Can anyone give me a seriously honest view of their experiences with an Ikea sofa? I am also interested in the Ikea Poang chair — is that comfortable as well? Sent by Dead Broke Diva Hear Peter Klinkert tell the story of IKEA:
But what about chairs? On January 4th, 2009, I tweeted out the following: “Is the Aeron chair worth it? http://tr.im/2uxd Do you have any fave chairs for extended sitting and writing?” Even though I’m financially comfortable now, I didn’t grow up spending a lot of money, which I’m thankful for. To this day, I’ve never paid for first-class airfare for myself. Not that it isn’t worth it — I just can’t do it. Similarly, I had trouble believing a chair could possibly be worth $850-$1,200, but my back pain led me to pose the question to the omniscient Interweb. More than 95% of Aeron users replied with “yes, absolutely”, but it wasn’t the only chair with a cult-like following. Four of the five are manufactured by Herman Miller (HM) and Humanscale (HS). Prices are from Amazon, as are the star reviews, but discounts of $200-400 can be negotiated with dealers. Both eBay and Craiglist offer similar discounts. In descending order of popularity:
1. Aeron (Fully loaded) (HM) – $879 (1 review; average review: 5 stars) Used at NASA mission control and tech start-ups worldwide.2. Mirra (fully loaded) (HM) – $829 (14 reviews; average review: 4.5 stars) Note: the Herman Miller sales representatives I spoke with preferred the Mirra seat feel for shorter legs vs. the Aeron. Easier to adjust: Mirra is about 9 revolutions from loosest to tightest settings; 3. SwingChair – $495 Recommended by a strong contingent of writers, including one of my favorite visual storytellers, Kathy Sierra. I like the design concept, but I would suggest other forms of “core exercise”. 4. Liberty (HS) – $899 (6 reviews; average review: 3.5 stars) 5. Freedom Task Chair with Headrest (HS) – $999.99 (1 review, average: 4 stars) Used at the FBI and by other governmental agencies with three-letter acronyms. 6. Embody – $1,800 list price (negotiated with dealer: $1,200-1,300): Basis of chair design – sitting is bad;
Even in locked position, it still has some backward flex at the top position. No forward tilt option. For personal testing, I also added a Swiss-ball chair (Isokinetics Balance Ball Chair – $75) to the mix, as seen below: Surprisingly, the Isokinetics chair is more comfortable than most fixed chairs I tested, though there is some minor… ahem… testicular compression that isn’t nearly as pleasant as it sounds. If you don’t have jewels to worry about, this chair could well be an ideal cost-effective choice. The chair I most wanted to test was the Mirra, which seems to have the best combination of price point (bought used or via eBay) and multiple 5-star reviews. Not to mention it’s also the name of one of the best BMXers of all time. In the end, I bought a used C-size (technically a bit too large for me) Aeron for $450 on Craigslist. I’m impatient and didn’t want to wait over the weekend to schedule sittings for other Herman Miller chairs with a certified dealer.
Once I have some conclusive comparable data, I want closure.I’m 5′ 8″ and 170 lbs., but the C works with no problem. 1) The lumbar support is — by far — the primary determinant of comfort or pain. I’ve lowered this adjustment and found that maintaining the natural S-curve through pressure on the lower back is what prevents pain most consistently. Comfortable sitting time is now 7-8 hours vs. less than 2 hours, with no ill after-effects. Sliding lumbar support on the Aeron. 2) Seat height (and secondarily, depth) will determine the rest. If the flats of your feet don’t make complete contact with the floor, you will move your hips forward and slouch, eliminating the S-curve in the lower lumbar. If your seat is too low and your knees are above your hips, you will shorten the habitual range your hip flexors (negative neural adaptation) and end up with severe lower-back pain. Aim to keep your hamstrings parallel to the floor, and if the seat is too long for your femur (thigh bone) — as is mildly the case with my C-size Aeron — just separate your knees a bit.
If you’re not wearing a tight skirt, I’ve found a basketball of space between the knees to provide the best lateral stabilization, which reduces torso fatigue. Take off heels when sitting at a desk, lest you end up with hot calves and Quasimodo-like posture. Not good for mating. If you are wearing a tight skirt, I suggest taking up the Japanese tea ceremony and sitting on tatami side saddle. It’ll be more comfortable than crossing your legs all day.True, I’ve thought more about chairs in the last few weeks than anyone should, but I do it to save you the trouble. Benefit from my OCD so you can obsess on other things. 3) Using a 3′ long and 6″ diameter foam roller three times per day for 5 minutes can eliminate persistent middle-back pain from mediocre chair use; conversely, it can extend your comfortable sitting time by 30-40%. Knowledge workers often log more ass-in-seat time than sleep. Coders, in particular, are often subjected to a steady diet of Mountain Dew and hunching for 12+-hour marathons.
I don’t put in these hours, but I found myself with severe mid-upper back pain from using a non-adjustable chair and craning over a desk that was too low, even for 30-60 minutes per day. Two doctors suggested various therapies, but a quick experiment (placing a laptop on top of a dresser and writing while standing for two days) proved that posture was the problem. In less than a week following my switch to the Aeron, all upper middle-back (lower trapezius, rhomboid major) pain disappeared completely. The results: better output during work and writing, faster and deeper sleep, and a huge smack on the forehead. Why the hell didn’t I do this earlier? In my case, was it worth it at $450? Particularly looking at the value of time per hour and the lost income due to doctor visits, massage, etc., this is $450 I should have invested years ago.
