Assembling the IKEA Renberget | Unboxing and Review | Clueless Dad

[@CluelessDad]

IKEA has updated the design slightly. I did a video for the 2022 version here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oamkmKagq8x7mrs

[@YellowBlueArmy]

Assembling was pretty easy but i just didnt understand what to do with the wheels. I really tried everything but with no luck. Now i see what movement i need to do. Now its done!!

[@RJ-ek7ov]

Thanks for the short and sweet instructions. Through your video I realized I had the seat back on backwards 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@phoenixyt124]

Best review ive found yet.

[@MrMykeable]

Got this today. Built in record time. Super easy assembly. Very happy with the product. Got here in less than 24hrs. Impressive delivery rate compared to even Amazon Prime. Highly recommend this chair. I wish the faux leather or watever blend would be all around. My cats my start scratching the fabric backing. I like the hidden zipper in back of chair - it makes the world of a difference. Thank you IKEA!

Clueless Dad how do you tilt it back I can’t do it

[@theneonsplash3509]

Can you tell me if this chair is good for long sitting sessions? I game and study on my desk so i spend around 8 to 10 hours a day sitting and was wondering if this chair is comfortable to sit on all day. Can you also tell me if it has lumbar support. Thx

[@CluelessDad]

I find it no problem for usage for long periods. I've had one at home for going on 10 years and my office of 25 people all use them and no one has complain about their chairs being uncomfortable. I would NOT say it offers anything special in the way of lumbar support though. it doesn't have any specific cushions or extra supporting padding in the lower back. Some people use extra back cushions in our office. So I think that may be an area you may find this one lacking (hypothetically you could unzip it and put extra support in the lower portion if you wanted to try and adjust that.... )

[@magalirack1924]

Hello ! it seems like my chair is slightly leaning forward. Do you know why ? Thanks so much!

[@1keeviiin]

The lumbar support after less than a year it’s almost zero... I have it with and external lumbar support, and currently looking for a more solid back support.

[@XxMsrSzprzxX]

Thank you for making this video. How's the lumbar support on the this chair? Do you have any experience with the Millberget chair? I'm currently choosing between the Renberget and Millberget. Thanks.

[@CluelessDad]

I haven’t tried Millberget, but from what I’ve seen online it looks like the lower back padding and support is better on Millberget (the construction is very similar but it looks like there’s a spring that goes across the lower back area behind the thicker Millberget padding.

[@XxMsrSzprzxX]

@@CluelessDad Thank you so much for getting back to me on that, that's really good to know.

[@maorshapira1578]

I think the Millberget is better

[@BS34BY]

Hi, what is the purpose of the zip in the backrest? Can we put cushion in it? Or bean bags EPS beads? Kinda confused at the purpose of the zip, besides the unboxing experience.. lol

[@CluelessDad]

Basically I think its just so they can store stuff inside the backrest when its shipped (smaller box = less space in the warehouse...) You could put stuff in there if you wanted more firmness in the lower back I suppose. I think foam would work.

[@lexbeltran1354]

I found one on Mercari in like new condition for $25. Definitely going to buy it. Your video makes it easier to assemble than a manual😆

[@aornloei]

Can you help me to fix it? I bought one and when I sat on it I feel it lean forward I dont know why it happend. It makes me feel uncomfy. Please advise.

@@trooper2708 for the price you cannot expect much. That's for sure. It is a comfortable chair but there are way better options out there. Especially if you are planning on using for hours in one go.

[@CluelessDad]

I just did a video for the Millberget, its the same basic design but a bit bigger and cushier. both are good for me for long usage....

[@trooper2708]

@@justinkaz thanks so mich for replying

[@sandeshvantveen]

So I actually watched this video while at IKEA and decided to get it due to the positive review and comments. The chair is fine and you get what you can expect for this price. I'd just add that of you work from home and you don't have the best back, pat a little more and get an ergonomic chair. I'm getting severe back pain after a few weeks of usage.

[@CluelessDad]

thanks for your feedback! I have been using one at work and at home for many years and am ok with it, but I image if you need more lumbar support you may not get enough with this (maybe try putting some extra foam in the cavity inside?) I also recently upgraded to the Millberget at home, its got more padding and is taller in the back....

[@SJB117]

thanks so much for making this, also love your channel name!

I'm still using my original one all these years later (looking a bit worn, but still comfortable).

[@MotiveZenHQ]

@clueless dad how do you charge that machine?

[@Germania9]

How's the seat comfort? Is it soft enough? And how long will the seat wear out?

[@CluelessDad]

It's not super soft, but I sit in one all day without getting any pains in my back or butt. As shown in the video, my older version at home has been used pretty heavily for going on 7 or 8 years with minimal wear. (including a year or so where I was working from home and using it exclusively as my desk chair.

@@CluelessDad Just bought it recently. It is quite comfy! Might hold on to it for a year until I can afford a better chair. Thanks for the reply!

[@masterrex09]

I've recently purchased and assembled the chair and the wheels are not moving very well, and the chair isn't as comfortable as it was when I tried it at IKEA. Perhaps I've done something wrong? I'm not sure. Would appreciate any suggestions :)

how would you say your experience was with the chair the past 7 months?

[@mirjanaf3949]

In the last part with the handles on the chair. How can you take out jammed screws ?

You've cross threaded the ones on the armrests? how far in is it? if it won't unscrew w/ a screw driver, you could try to use pliers to get it unscrewed or loosen up to unscrew...

I don't have an electric drill or screwdriver, just the ikea toolkit. Could I assemble the chair with that?

I know you can recline the chair. But is there any way to lock the chair in that reclined position or can you only lock it when it's upright?

How do u keep the seat connected to the legs? When I lift the chair the seat comes off.

[@lucasbruinink9674]

Can you use the chair without a arm wrest?

[@CluelessDad]

sorry for my late reply. No, the arm rests are integral for holding up the back of the chair (the backrest only connects via the arm rests actually). so i think with one missing it would not support your weight leaning back.... or wouldn't last long for sure.

[@maorshapira1578]

Thank you SO MUCH ily

[@DianaMartinez-jj5il]

I recently bought this chair and no matter how much I spin the tensioner it doesn’t lean back I’m not sure what I did wrong

[@CluelessDad]

the lever for raising and lowering can also pull out sideways (pull outwards w/ your right hand when sitting in the chair...) either pull out or push in... this is also not mentioned in the manual I think.

I suppose its possible to put something else in the place of the wheels, but it would make the chair a lot less useful (you'd have to try and slide up to your desk every time you sit down?)
