JYSK BARSKA STOLICA TAULOV SIVA TKANINA/CRNA

Pros

• Easy assembly: Frequently mentioned as quick and straightforward. Many users report assembling the chair in under 10 minutes.
• Comfortable: Frequently described as comfortable and easy to sit on, even for short periods. Multiple reviewers highlight the comfortable seating.
• Attractive design: Described as beautiful, nice, elegant, stylish, and modern. The anthracite color is mentioned as versatile.
• Easy to clean: Specifically noted for its easy cleaning, especially with dark-colored fabric.
• Height adjustable: Users report the chairs are height adjustable, useful for various purposes (e.g., bar, desk, kitchen islands).
• Good value for money: Some reviewers highlight the chair''s good price-to-quality ratio (with one mentioning a price of approximately €50). However, this is contradicted by other reviews citing poor quality relative to price.
• Stable and sturdy: Described as strong, stable, and durable by some reviewers.

Cons

• Squeaking/Creaking: A significant recurring issue, reported to start after a few months of use, even with light-weight users (from 70kg). The squeaking is described as loud and disruptive, rendering the chair unusable for some. The noise is described as a "gnalling" sound and "nitinä" (Finnish for creaking/squeaking). This seems to be a structural issue not easily fixed (e.g., unlubricated mechanism).
• Poor quality: Several low ratings cite poor quality, specifically related to the mechanisms and durability, not matching the price. Users report breakage of the footrest and gas lift after several months of use, warping of the chair frame, and failures after several uses or within 4 months of purchase. One user estimates the quality to be worth only €5-€10. Multiple reports of significant problems with the gas lift mechanism, including unexpected seat drops and malfunctioning height adjustment. Two users reported receiving two damaged chairs. Issues with the height adjustment mechanism are frequently reported. At least one user reported instability even after assembly.
• Instability: Reported by multiple users, including issues with the up and down function and the chair feeling generally unstable. The chair''s base is reported as lacking sufficient stability for some users.
• Small seat: Described as unsuitable for larger individuals (e.g., those over 181 cm). The seat is noted as not supporting the legs fully, causing thigh discomfort.
• Uncomfortable back support: The backrest is described as pushing the body forward, leading to discomfort during prolonged sitting. The half-backrest is noted as suitable only for short periods of sitting.
• Missing parts: At least one user reported receiving a chair missing screws and other assembly elements.
• Slipping on hard floors: At least one user noted that the chair''s base slips on hard floors, requiring a rug or mat.

Comments

The majority of reviews praise the chair''s comfort, ease of assembly, attractive design, and height adjustability. However, a significant portion of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding the chair''s durability and quality, particularly concerning the gas lift mechanism and overall stability. Recurring issues include squeaking and creaking noises, gas lift malfunctions, breakage of components (footrest, gas lift), and overall instability. These problems often emerge after a relatively short period of use, even with light users. The frequency and severity of these negative reports strongly suggest a defect in the chair''s design, materials, or manufacturing process. The reported inability to easily repair these issues further compounds the problem. Some assembly issues are noted, specifically the difficulty of removing a black cap on the lower rod. Potential buyers should carefully consider the substantial risk of experiencing these problems. The reported price of approximately €50 appears to be contradicted by some users who consider the chair''s actual quality to be worth much less, given the prevalent issues reported.
