#ikea #ikeagaming

The Ikea Gaming chairs (HUVUDSPELARE, UTESPELARE, MATCHSPEL) are SUPER cheap, but are they worth the pickup? Or should you pickup their highest end office chair instead (JÄRVFJÄLLET)? Let's get Ahnest!

JÄRVFJÄLLET owner here, glad to see it's not just me having issues with this chair. Not only does the headrest cause your head to be forced into a more unneutral forward position, it also has no give at all which makes it like resting my head against a wall. I also experienced the same issue you had where one arm was a little loose (not quite as loose but still loose) as well as one was almost a quarter of an inch higher at the lowest setting than the other arm. The worst part though is the chair base itself, it starts off firm which is great but that doesn't last long. After only 4 months of use at 8-10 hours a day, I am literally sitting on the wood panel below now as the cushion has worn and did not last at all. For reference I'm 5' 9 and only weight 150-160. Feels like sitting on a school bleacher anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of use. My sit bone is a little more prominent than others so that might be a factor, but even for the average user I feel they would experience the same issue perhaps a few more months down the line. It's a shame because it's a great looking chair and has a very nice design, but it's ruined by cheap materials. I wish I had seen more reviews first before pulling the trigger as it's definitely not worth the $300 I paid for it. It feels more like a chair aimed at casual daily use rather than long sessions of daily use.

Dude, you’re killing it with these chair videos. Keep them coming, and thanks for all effort you put into this.

Hey all, made a huge mistake here - the jarvfjallet lumbar CAN be adjusted. However, it was at the lowest setting during my testing so still too low for me but might be better for people I’d say 5’9 and taller! Chairs still way too wobbly and cheap for a nearly $300 chair - there are a lot better out there for that price!!!

Bought UTESPERLARE a few months ago. Overall I'm satisfied with the quality and comfort. Only downside is that after few weeks it started to creak as hell. Noticed that creak was coming from side armrests due to screws rubbing into metal threads. The more you tighten it the more it creaks. Anyway, putting some WD-40 on the screws and deep inside the backrest side threads eliminated noise completely. Probably some universal grease would be better for long time.

Thank you for saving me 2 days for buying all of these chairs, assembling them, comparing them, and returning all of them back to Ikea.

It's not shown here, but I'm 180cm and absolutely love my IKEA Markus office chair. The price is great and it fits my frame. It probably won't be as great for every height, but I've had mine for several years and it's still going strong.

[Tarantulah]

I was pleased when they anounced these and they weren't your typical gaming chairs, shame about all the glaring flaws they have. Doesn't matter too much for me though as I got the Steelcase Gesture after your video on it and it's great :D

[roguestatus]

interesting...I just got the Matchspel...but don't have any of the issues you discussed. I'm 5'9- athletic build. My shoulder sit right into the frame and do not touch the metal edges, the reclining tension is fine. I actually lifted my feet up every inch or so of reclining and it held in place with no effort on my end. I think the critical flaw part is a big miss. It's curved to support your neck, not for you to rest the back of your head on. If you adjust it to the right spot, it'll support your neck so your aren't straining it when leaning back. Unless you are going to recline to stare at the ceiling, its a moot point.

I love my Jarvfjallet, I use it as an office chair.
The reclining position can be locked into position and the lumbar support does move up & down (a small range though)

[antreasss]

Nice video but I have to mention that:
1. In jarvfjallet the seat depth doesnt move only 1 inch as you mentioned and as you show in the video. Obviously you didnt push it that much forward, it has more distance than that. I have tried the chair in Ikea
2. In the matchspel the fact that headrest moves down the way you use it, it is normal. Headrests are not supposed to support the top of the head, they are supposed to support the neck, thats why it moves down the way you use it
3. In Jarvfjallet lumbar support is adjustable and it gets lower than that, it is not in the lower position as you say. From what I see in the video it has more distance to lower.
Other than that it is a nice video, perhaps you should try to make videos with taller people as well, because each chair feels different according to the height

I bought a MATCHSPEL 2 months ago and I am very satisfied with the quality and lumbar support, I am a person with spine issues and I spent about 8-10 hours per day at my desk for work and play, so far it has been outstanding. The
adjustable armrests are a godsend.

[eggsworld]

as a short king I needed another short king to review some chairs

[aprilius]

Was about to impulse buy the cheapest one, decided to look at reviews first. Glad I found this one!

[lilyshiri]

You have no idea how useful this has been for me!🤩 thanks so much ✌🏼

[madebyPure]

Hearing you say the IKEA names as a Swede is hilarious. Effort well appreciated and a great vid, thanks man!

[MeineKleineWaffe]

I think your Järvfjället review was quite lackluster.

First of all, the seat depth adjustment is a bit limited as you say. But it does help someone like me who is 6’2". I find I get good thigh support when pushing the seat all the way out, and reclining to the first stop/position after upright.

The headrest is not as bad as you say. I’ve never even been close to it when sitting upright, only when reclining. Which is the wanted effect IMO.

The lumbar support pad IS adjustable in height. With a good range too actually.

The metal frame is not annoying at all, even if you are tall with broad shoulders like me.

All in all, I’m quite happy with my fabric Järvfjället. Definitely the best office chair for the money in Norway where I’m from. I’ve had the leather version with the adjustable armrests too (the one you’re reviewing), but I hated it. The leather is just slippery and annoying. So I returned it, and went back to my white one in fabric :)

I’m not trying to be rude. Just giving a different perspective on a quite good budget chair!

I’m saying all this as someone who also owns an Embody btw.

[BluepineYT]

I bought the MATCHSPEL and is really satisfied. The only downside is that it doesn't have a tension control system, but you can lock the chair to any degree you want, and that saves it for me!

[amyerscough]

I really enjoy your reviews, very informative and well-edited/produced. I hope your channel blows up tbh you deserve more subs and viewers.

[SP.Learning]

I didnt like any of the ikea chairs and started wondering if its just me. Good content man

[danielchandra]

quite strange matchspel headrest you got there. mine and my brother's both have a very tight height adjustment, so tight we could barely adjust the headrest with both hands. this however help the headrest to stay in place thus nullifying the critical flaw you mentioned
