Ikea rocking chair: inexpensive pleasure and an unusual piece of furniture

The Swedish furniture company Ikea produces almost all types of furniture. The rocking chair was not left out either. Indeed, in light of the ongoing fashion trends for these products, the model range of chairs must be completely filled. And considering that Swedish furniture makers adhere to a fairly democratic pricing policy, purchasing a rocking chair in the company’s stores is also very profitable.

Disadvantages and advantages of rocking chairs from IKEA

The two main advantages of Ikea are probably known to everyone - European quality and relatively inexpensive price.

• An undeniable advantage is the natural, environmentally friendly materials that the Swedes use to produce furniture. All plastics, wood and fabrics used in production are certified.
• The reliability of Ikea products has also long ago become an axiom, a statement that does not require proof. And the rich experience in developing various models allows the company's designers to come up with product samples that combine beauty and practicality. In addition, all furniture is developed in collections. Therefore, you can purchase several interior items in the same style. Sometimes this has a beneficial effect on the appearance of the room.

The warranty for all the company's products is at least ten years, and for some models it reaches up to twenty-five. Provided the receipt is intact, the company’s specialists will certainly fulfill warranty obligations.

• By purchasing a rocking chair from Ikea, you get a reliable, practical, high-quality and safe product that can be combined with other comfortable furnishings. Together with the chair, for example, you can purchase a soft footrest.

Model features

Without a doubt, the Poeng Ikea chair has no analogues among the products of other trading companies. One glance at it is enough to appreciate the elegance of its form. The chair has a durable base with a smooth curve; no nails are used in its assembly.

The external fragility of the chair is deceptive; the maximum load is 170 kg.

Despite a certain similarity with a rocking chair, the technology for its creation is somewhat different. Features of the model from Ikea:

1. Poeng fits into any room, because there are more than a dozen options for upholstery and design itself. When choosing a chair according to the style of the interior, you can’t go wrong.
2. The manufacturer provides a 10-year free warranty, so the durability is beyond doubt: the furniture will last for many years.
3. You can assemble your own unique chair, because the company offers several materials and colors to choose from for each piece of furniture.
4. The design does not require nails, making assembly quick and easy.
5. The anatomical back allows you to sit comfortably in the chair. Additional convenience is provided by the ergonomic frame of the structure, which springs slightly when using the product.

Such furniture will be loved by all family members, and is great for both relaxation and work. You can install it in the office, bedroom and even in the garden. Despite its great benefits and long service life, the Poeng chair is no more expensive than its branded counterparts. The price of the product ranges from 8,000 to 16,000 rubles - depending on the specific model.

New items and catalog trends

The range of rocking chairs in Ikea catalogs is not that wide. But the small choice is due to the diversity of the model range. Almost all types of these products are present in the assortment. There is a wicker, wooden and combined rocking chair. Let's talk about them in more detail:

• “Poeng.” The most popular model in the entire catalog. Made from high-quality birch veneer, which has excellent springiness. It has a large range of fabric seat covers designed specifically for daily use. All covers are removable and easy to clean. They have a comfortable headrest and a variety of colors. It can withstand a load of up to 170 kilograms, so it is suitable even for overweight people. The warranty for “Poeng” is issued for ten years;
• “Flaxig.” The most inexpensive option for a rocking chair from Swedish furniture makers. Designed by designer David Wahl specifically for children's rooms. This product trains the child’s coordination and sense of balance. Excellently develops the vestibular apparatus. But an adult can also relax in such a chair. Its design is ideal for a high-tech interior. The steel frame, coated with polyester spraying, will prevent injury from the metal and will keep the floor covering safe and sound. But punctual Europeans still advise placing such a chair on a rug;
• “Vermde.” Rocking chair made of solid pine. Available in red and black versions. Thanks to its design and material, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. It has a high back, which is convenient for supporting the head;
• Ikea PS “Gulholmen”. The most budget series of all the furniture from the Swedish furniture company. This wicker rocking chair is made of banana fiber. It has an unusual appearance, as the model was developed by one of the most expressive designers of the company - Maria Vinka. The slightly curved lower part allows you to swing slowly and smoothly, which is very calming. And if you love everything natural and want to save money, then “Gulholmen” is your option. It will fit perfectly into any eco-friendly interior - the latest in fashion among city dwellers.

It's time to talk about how much a rocking chair costs in IKEA catalogs, and whether it is possible to buy products inexpensively, because, you see, price is one of the most important qualities of a purchase.

Materials

In the manufacture of furniture, IKEA uses only natural, environmentally friendly materials. All seats are suitable for children and allergy sufferers, reliable and safe. The frame is usually made of durable steel or solid wood. Birch, ash, beech, pine, and rubber are used. They can withstand high loads and provide comfort as they are slightly springy.

Different materials are used to make the seat and backrest. The former can be soft or hard. Three design options are available:

1. Wicker chairs made of rattan or banana palm fibers look original and, thanks to their airiness and natural color, fit perfectly into the eco-style. Can be used in the house or on the veranda, but it is not recommended to place it next to a radiator.
2. Classic models made of wood or fiberboard - they are durable, reliable, and last a long time. Rarely used without pillows as they are hard. Removable covers are available for them.
3. Durable polyester options. An example of such a model is Flaxig, which resembles a hammock. It is very comfortable to sit in such a chair.

Most models have pillows with removable covers. They are soft, filled with polyurethane foam, and can cover only the seat or the back too. Some options have a comfortable headrest. Their covers are made from natural materials, leather or textiles. Typically, cotton or linen are used in a wide variety of colors - pleasant to the touch, durable and easy to wash.

One of the advantages of IKEA furniture is that if you change the design of the room, you can simply change the covers and the chair will fit perfectly into the new style.

Reviews

• Victor, 52 years old, Moscow. Since I prefer to furnish my country house with furniture from the Ikea store, when the question arose about purchasing a rocking chair, I decided to look there. I’ll say right away that the budget was low, I wanted to keep it to 10,000 rubles. I saw “Vermde” and realized that this is what I need. Firstly, solid pine, covered with stain and varnish, will last a long time. Secondly, wooden furniture can be taken outside without any problems, which is what I needed. Thirdly, the price simply amazed me. I didn’t think that I would buy a rocking chair for only 6,500 rubles. Ikea always helps!
• Irina, 27 years old, Nizhny Novgorod. I read in a magazine for pregnant women that a rocking chair strengthens the vestibular apparatus and helps get rid of toxicosis. Since I'm expecting a baby, I decided to try this method on myself. My husband and I always buy furniture from Ikea; I’m satisfied with the price and quality. That's why we went there to get a rocking chair. And we are lucky! There was a discount on the Poeng model. The pillow cost 2699, and the frame cost 5999 rubles. This way we saved more than three thousand. And besides, the chair itself turned out to be very convenient and comfortable. In the display case they saw how a special device was pressing on the seat, depicting a person sitting down. The consultant explained that this is an advertisement that the rocking chair can withstand weight up to 170 kilograms. Now I’ll sit in my husband’s arms right in the chair!
• Milana, 30 years old, Krasnodar. I am a lover of everything unusual. I want to tell everyone about the rocking chair from Ikea. My husband and I recently built a cottage in a nearby suburb and are planning to move there to live. I planned to make the interior non-standard and modern. And when I was looking for some interesting element for a children’s room, I came across a “Flaxig” rocking chair from IKEA on the Internet. Before this, I had no experience of buying anything at Ikea, but I was really intrigued by the chair, and considering its cost, I thought I’d take two at once – for my child and my husband. In the end I did just that. We have been using it for six months now, it is a very comfortable and beautiful chair. The covers are easy to remove and machine washable. Now I periodically look at the Ikea catalog, in case something else interesting comes up;
• Artem, 26 years old, St. Petersburg. I purchased an inexpensive “Gulholmen” rocking chair for my dacha. I was captivated by the inexpensive price and unusual appearance. The furniture, although at first glance looks awkward, upon closer inspection turned out to be very comfortable. And by the way, due to the fact that the chair is woven from banana fiber, it is very light. Grandmother easily carries it into her room and sometimes uses it. This is my advanced granny. By the way, I recommend it to everyone, especially young people.
