Choosing a rocking chair in IKEA: a review of models with photos and prices

The best property of furniture is a combination of convenience and beauty, each element of it should harmoniously fit into the interior. A win-win addition to any design will be the Poeng Ikea chair, which was invented 40 years ago by the Japanese Noboru Nakamura. It was and remains one of the branded goods of the famous trading network, having today many modifications. The chair is incredibly comfortable, lightweight and beautiful.

Model Features

There is no doubt that the Poeng Ikea chair has no analogues among the products of other trading companies. One glance at it is enough to appreciate the grace of form. The chair has a solid base with a smooth bend, when assembling it, nails are not used.

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 the design itself. Picking up a chair according to the style of the interior, you cannot make a mistake.
  2. The manufacturer gives 10 years of 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 presents several materials and colors to choose from for each element of furniture.
  4. The design does not include nails, which is why assembly is carried out quickly and easily.
  5. The anatomical back allows you to comfortably sit in a chair. An additional convenience is provided by the ergonomic frame structure, which, when using the product, is slightly springy.

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

Poeng

The price for them is quite high - from 11 to 16 thousand rubles, but sometimes IKEA arranges promotions, and you can pick up such a chair at a price 1.5 times less. In general, the high cost is explained by the quality of manufacture and the use of natural materials (beech, birch, oak) in the frames.

Despite the high price, Poeng still remains the most purchased model. Although for some time these were almost the only rocking chairs in the IKEA assortment. In this series, ordinary, non-swinging options are produced. Therefore, for those who need the furniture in the living room to blend in perfectly, this is the best choice.

The models of this series have a smooth bend to maintain the back, a high back so that the neck does not get tired. A soft pillow for the head provides extra comfort.

The Poeng series also has footrests that allow you to relax your legs while rocking.

Footrest "Poeng." Price - 3 599 p.

Another advantage of the Poeng models is the presence of a removable cover, which in case of contamination can be removed and washed in a washing machine.

Currently sold in several design options, in several colors.

  • Frame material: multilayer glued veneer of beech, birch or oak.
From bent glued birch veneer. Price - 11 999 p. Made from oak veneer stained with stain. Cost - 11,999 p.

Frames of all models are treated with acrylic varnish. Therefore, creaking in the first few weeks after the purchase is quite normal: varnished parts must grind to each other.

The frameworks of some Poeng models are painted with a stain in light or dark brown.

For a living room, wooden models are the most successful solution.

Another advantage of Poeng armchairs, justifying its high cost, is the possibility of repainting. A natural wood frame can be sanded and repainted with paint of the desired color.

  • Upholstery: textile (with removable cover) or genuine leather (in white, black and beige colors). A chair with a leather seat will cost thousands to 4-5 thousand rubles more.
With a leather seat. Price - 15 999 p.
  • Design and colors of covers: available in anthracite, gray, light and dark beige, brown, light and dark blue. There are also cases with a floral print fashionable this season (color and black and white).

A budget novelty from IKEA– rocking chair "Overellt"

You can buy it for just 4,999 rubles. This model is much cheaper than Poeng due to the steel frame. The back and seat are made of durable polyethylene. This model loses wooden also due to the lack of armrests. But it also has its advantages - it can be used outdoors, for example, in the garden or in the country.

The lack of a soft seat is also not a problem. You can sew a soft cover or buy ready-made pillows in the same IKEA.

GRENADAL

Another option for a chair that can be used outdoors.

Price - 11,999 rubles.

The main parts (runners, armrests) are made of solid ash, the back and seat are made of wicker rattan.

The chair has a shade of natural materials. This design emphasizes its environmental friendliness. It will look great not only on the terrace of the house, but also in the interior of the living room in the style of eco, eclecticism, country, shabby chic, for example.

Baby rocking chair

Do you think that only adults love rocking chairs? And no! Children will be delighted with such a mini-swing, if you also get a children's model “Sundvik” for them.

Earlier in the IKEA assortment, a rather unusual model of the Fluxig child rocking chair was also presented, but it was discontinued.

It is a pity that while IKEA does not produce hanging swing chairs in the form of cocoons, which are now very relevant.

Each model requires self-assembly. For the goods you will definitely get clear instructions in paper form. But if you suddenly encounter difficulties, you can turn to the store’s specialists for help.

Reviews

Real reviews help to make a purchase more responsible. Let's see how people are happy with the acquisition, whether their quality did not disappoint after months or even years of operation.

According to popular review sites, customer reviews for the Poeng chair are generally positive.

Of the minuses noted the high cost. One review was also met, in which the creak appeared over time.

I managed to find an opinion about the not so popular, but no less beautiful armchair "Grenadal".

Reviews on the child seat "Sundvik" are also positive.

Because Overellt is a novelty; no reviews have yet been found. Perhaps you will be the first to share your experience?

Although the IKEA rocking chair has a 10 year warranty, a careful check of the goods for marriage before buying will help to avoid unnecessary trouble. Furniture should be evenly stained, should not have chips and cracks.
