The Perfect Armchair

Whatever marketing mumbo jumbo that Ikea employs from the artistic suggestive furniture display to the deceptively cheap meatballs, it works on me. In fact Ikea store is like walking into a catalog. I love it. I even dragged Bits dating with me there a few times. He suck it up manfully and even helped testing the furniture.

First let's pay homage to the meatballs. Not the famous beef one but the unknown brother - CHICKEN MEATBALLS! They have chicken meatballs here which is awesome. Finally I get to taste the Swedish meatballs.


As mentioned earlier I wanted a few moving pieces of furniture that I can play around - a 2 seater sofa, an armchair and an ottoman or several poofs (haven't decided yet). After sitting on a number of arm chairs, this is an all time favorite for me and Bits - the STRANDMON series. From neck support to arm rest, it is perfect! However the price is also a shocking $399.00. The footstool - $149.00. Combined, it cost almost 2 Klippan Sofa.



There is a cheaper option in the below one. We tried it but it just feels different. No neck support and the seat area is a bit small for my and Bit's bum. We both have fleshy bums.


There is also the cheapest version which is the POANG series. It is comfortable has a good neck support just not aligned with my neck though it aligns with Bits. The arm rest is ok so it's a good contender with the favorite armchair.


So hard to justify investing so much in an armchair but I really like it! ARGH!
