IKEA Poang Chair Reviews

Ikea definitely has some great prices, but you have to be carefuly because sometimes quality is compromised.  This is not the case with the IKEA Poang chairs.   I have 2 IKEA Poang chairs in my living room, and though they were relatively inexpensive, they are very comfortable.  Plus, they are super-easy to assemble.

I like them because they have a modern look and also they are not heavy and stuffy like some upholstered chairs are.  The slight bounce to them makes them very comforting like a rocking chair.
