Ikea Snille Swivel Chair.

IKEA has a laden of faithful followers that consist of budget-hunting customers. The first thing that comes across most of our minds are affordable, modern furniture.

Duh, who would think twice about affordable contemporary looking furniture? I know I wouldn’t.  However, that’s my two cents, not like I buy any furniture! I usually go to IKEA for their Swedish meat balls and their mouth watering Daim almond cake. It is only after I have fed myself silly then only I would make my way into the store, to lose some inches that I’ve probably gained earlier (ha-ha!).

Back to the topic at hand, my fiancé loves minimalistic design furniture, just like those of IKEA. Usually when you come across minimalistic furniture, they’re usually quite pricey, like the saying ‘less is more’, however we strongly oppose, why spent thousands on a furniture that looks similar to the ones in IKEA? I bet the notion does linger in the depths of your mind. Why pay more when you can pay less?

So anyway, just visualize this up in your noggin, so you’ve decided to go to IKEA to purchase one of their plastic swivel computer chairs, first impression, and comfort for both your bum and your vertebrate. Definitely a must buy!  Iman, got a few of their plastic swivel chairs, and within months they were slowly showing signs of fatigue thus leaving a crack in between the plastic seat.

The purpose of these office chairs are obviously used for a long period of time, perhaps not a life time but durable enough to at least withstand a year or two. But sadly for Iman this isn’t the case, he spends most of his time in front of the computer and as much as IKEA is known for their  ‘you get what you pay’ quality product, being a loyal customer, you would somewhat give their products the benefit of the doubt. But when something like this occurs, when safety is involved you might want to reconsider.  And if somehow an IKEA employee were to come across this entry of mine, before you think about leaving any nasty comments, my fiancé only weighs about 119 lbs (if you’re too stupid to do the math, that’s about 54 kilograms), there is no way in hell (pardon my expression) that someone of that weight could enforce so much pressure by just sitting down for hours, if he was jumping on the chair, then maybe it’s possible but in this case it is not. I reckon your metal frame is too strong compared to the plastic, so maybe you (the designer or whatever fancy title you've donned) should start comparing notes with the craftsmen.

I’ve come across a few angry customers in regards to your Snille swivel chair, we pretty much have similar complaints, after all you do want us to keep coming back to purchase your wonderful products no? so why not spend a little more time with quality control or whichever department/team that liaise with safety (if you don't have one, you should form one!) to make sure we’re in one piece, not in a comatose state or paralyze after falling off your cheap quality product ...
