BEST Budget Office Chair For Video Editing? (IKEA Flintan vs. IKEA Markus Review)

[@BVCCo7]

Watch my initial chair review HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJCsga1prduikKc

[@TheMaevian]

If you’re having back pains, maybe also best to use an external monitor with height adjustment. You can get a quality refurbished Dell monitor for around a 100 dollar. You’re already using a laptop stand which is great, but that screen is still to low compared to your seating position.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

True, and he's also wrecking his wrists and arms

[@chrisallen191]

You still prefer the flinton over the markus? Tested flinton today very nice with armrests. I do like the markus for lounging but think my head and neck feels more free with just the flinton with armrests. Thanks

[@benblitzkrieg]

I was looking for a good office chair on the cheap and you just convinced me to get the Flintan, mainly because we both have the same height!

[@BVCCo7]

Short gang 🙏

[@RafaeIly]

@@BVCCo7 is it working fine for you, I've been having back problems with my old chair WFH. Dying to find a chair that allows my feet to touch the group and good back support. Please help. I'm 165 too. Can your feet touch the ground at the lowest setting?

[@benblitzkrieg]

@@RafaeIly yes your feet can touch the ground fine at the lowest setting, I am 165cm too

[@dickiie9970]

Just got my ikea flintan, after siting a couple of hours, the chair seat got thinner permanently. Poor lumbar support too

[@victornoagbodji]

Thanks for making this honest video. I was also considering the Markus! But this review was 3 years ago. How do you like this chair today? Have you considered or heard of the Millberget or the Renberget?

[@fiudad]

The Renberget is a joke. Fragile, wobble and it sounds creaky all the thime + not comfortable. I dont recommend it.

[@FlavioDeFeo]

Thanks man, loved hearing your perspective on this!

[@BVCCo7]

Thanks for watching Flavio

[@___xyz___]

You saved me, man. Thanks!

[@1muhammetozturk]

I just want to ask the ppl who have Flintan for a long time. Is it still comfortable? Should I buy it?

[@mr.n476]

Bro. I just tested both of this chairs at the ikea store and i find the flintan is more comfortable. Maybe bcs im not that tall im 5'5. Is the flintan comfy for 5-6 hours of work/gaming?

[@BVCCo7]

Yep.

[@vsmander6859]

Thanks for the review, is it still holding up well?

[@BVCCo7]

Yep!

[@thedude6867]

Thank you man. You said you did some research, is there nothing better for 150$?

[@ironedih]

Hey mate, good review! I’m looking for a office chair atm. Can I ask, are you still using this chair and if so how is it going for you??

[@zlothika]

Thanks so much for this!! I tend to go into that position myself so I definitely don't want a chair that encourages it, very helpful video 💚

[@BVCCo7]

Glad it helped!

[@ratulotron]

Should have gone for Ikea Hattefjall, my man. All the problems you mention (height, headrest) are also my concerns and seem like technically non existent in that chair. The only two cons (not to me but for many people) is the backrest is not lockable, and the armrests have more distance between them to put your arm on them and type. However, both are not necessarily bad. You need to push a bit with your legs to recline the backrest, which is good because some of your leg muscles get a bit workout from this, whereas the ideal is to walk around and stretch, use your movement muscles in essence, every 20 minutes. Not having a headrest means you have more space to move your head, front, back, left, right, twist whatever you want to do between long hours of work. As for the armrests, if you have a properly height adjusted desk, you can just put your arms on the desk and have the monitor on top of couple of books to match your eye-height. Done! Ikea pretty much made a foolproof chair here. All these are hypothetical of course, I haven't bought either of these chairs but after going through people's experience online, these are my thoughts. Would be nice if someone who actually uses the Hattefjall chimes in!

[@besllu8116]

For that money you can find Aeron or 2x Hyken.

[@gamebro6337]

Just want to get one, thanks for your advice~

[@MisoSanSoup]

Hows the chair now? Does it hurt your back or your neck at all? Thank you for the video!

[@BVCCo7]

still use both this day

[@ggt1380]

Hi, do you still feel the same way about the chair? Do you still prefer it over the other chair?

[@mireq3461]

Thanks for review! Will the Flintan be good for a person with 193cm height? In my country, Flintan (with armrests included!) is like twice as cheap as Markus (75eur vs 150eur). Im afraid of not having the headrest. The problem is, I don't think there is any chair in this price range which could compare to this from IKEA.

[@dreudax3294]

Hi, can you give an update, is the chair good? Also can the handrests be removed easily? I dont mind using screwdrivers, but is it easy to just remove the handrest alone without messing with any other components?

[@liyangsong2868]

Just bought one too! I wonder if it is possible to adjust the tense extent of the chair back? For example ease the screws? Because it is a little uncomfortable to hold the chair back using force of my back. Just not that relaxed.

[@user-lm3yf6gw8d]

I bought it without armrest.. I wonder if it is possible to install it

[@BRobWill]

im 5 11 and i found the Flintan comfier than the markus after testing it out at the store. im still not super impressed with the flintan chair however. I don't like how the seat makes my legs slightly slide down. id recommend a footrest to fix that issue. im also not impressed with the cushioning of the seat. looking to resolve that as well. Ultimately, if for whatever reason, you go to ikea and want an office chair id recommend the flintan. but just stay away from ikea office chairs.

[@cwk5731]

May I know why you sit on Markus in your latest video? Are there any problems with Flintan?

[@inspectahdeck2642]

It has no suspension. It's like a wooden chair with a cushion on wheels. He has back pain because even in the best chair you will get back pain, you have to exercise there is no workaround.

[@cwk5731]

Have you sit on Flintan before? Actually I bought this chair. After days of sitting, I feel like the lumbar support hurts my lower back. The way you described is disappointing to me. How do you know he has back pain? Are you sure there is no best chair that help us lean back into our backrest for a long time without back pain?

[@inspectahdeck2642]

@@cwk5731 I have flintan, it sucks because it has no suspension. Get markus. Yes we aren't mean't to sit for long periods of time, you have to exercise.

[@cwk5731]

@@inspectahdeck2642 Can you explain the suspension? I don't understand. Why Markus?

[@inspectahdeck2642]

@@cwk5731 you know how bicycles have suspension so you don't feel the terrain? Chairs can have suspension too so that when you sit you don't feel the hit.

[@Jerninator]

Just ordered one because im also not the biggest dude i hate arm rests cause i tend to lean on them which causes backpain the next day and also my desks doesnt support most armrests. I just need something comfy rn

[@georgepierre3594]

I feel like flintan forces, you to sit up straight,, but in the markus it's easier to slouch, could be why ur getting back pain.

[@BVCCo7]

Depends on your body structure

[@bositirana1239]

if im 5.9 should i get flintan?

[@Sora5024]

There is also adjustable version of markus. Why didnt you picked that? I am between markus and that new version of markus.

[@BVCCo7]

i would if i could

[@Sora5024]

@@BVCCo7 yesterday I was in Ikea and tryed the updated version and flintan. I don't like headrest part. Even though it's adjustible. Instead I get the flintan and a lumbar support pillow at the end. I could't be more happier.

[@alexkarp130]

I’ve bought this chair and I have a question: when recline mechanism is locked I sit down and I put pressure on the back of the chair with my back, it still reclines a little(1-2cm) until it hits the lock, the back is not fixed in place completely, is that suppose to be like that? Is that a part of the mechanism?

[@mr.n476]

i just bought the flintan. but the way the chair felt on the store and the way it felt after i assembled it myself, both felt different? it felt so comfy when i tested it on the store but when i try it at home after i assembled it felt less comfy than on the store, like the back felt stiff? idk how to explain it. am i screwing the screws too tight? that's how its supposed to be right?

[@BVCCo7]

Try just using it for a week, and possibly double check if you assembled correctly

[@dreudax3294]

Hi this is a very old post, but I hope its okay to ask an uodate here. How is the chair now, especially the seats, are they good for sitting 6-7 ours continuos? Also Do you have the version with the handrest? Also the stiffness thing, i too felt weird when I was stiting in different flintans, but figures that the lever at the bottom can be adjusted to adjust the recliner stiffness.

[@mr.n476]

i sold it a few years ago. im using the one with the handrest. the chair was fine, my only issue is that my head/neck will become tired for long usage due to no neck rest.@@dreudax3294

[@rupe82]

Just a word of warning. I'm 5'6 and have owned this chair for a number of years and now suffer with back and neck problems. The chair is not suited for short people, the headrest will promote bad posture without you even realising it.

[@libra_v3]

which chair, markus or flintan

[@kanyewesthayrani]

​@@libra_v3 flintan doesnt even have a headrest

[@mckungsmakong]

I thought this was an expensive chair. Just realize how poor I am. I feel the back pain as well. And it is very weird some day I don’t feel anything at all even with long hours like 10 plus hours but some day I have upper back pain switching with lower back pain.
