Review on MATCHSPEL matchspell chair for gamers Bumstad black by Stanislaw Golkowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product did not cause delight, but you can use it.

Took as a replacement for Marcus, who served me for about 7 years and is still in very good condition, but never satisfied me in terms of ergonomics. This chair solved most of my problems with Marcus - armrests, a normal headrest, the back itself is more comfortable and shorter. Of course, this Machspel's seat is much worse, it loses much less and in terms of material (leather substitute against natural leather), which will most likely affect durability and appearance. The wheels are just a quiet horror - they are not only blocked on an empty chair, but even if you try to move away with the chair, resistance is felt, I already had a similar feeling with the "killed" wheels clogged with dirt. I read that many complain about armrests that are not fixed horizontally, but I think this is done for convenience, so that it is easier to get up and not break them inadvertently. The mechanism of the chair itself is made almost entirely of iron, which I hope is not just an appearance and really makes it as reliable as Marcus's. D: A week later, a creak began inside the mechanism itself with any rolling (back and forth) and the only way to get rid of it was to change the tilt of the chair (I had it at 90 degrees). Now I don't even know what to do. On Marcus, the mechanism still runs like clockwork. I also ask you to pay attention that Ikea itself gives only 3 years of warranty for the mechanism of this chair, while for Markus as many as 10.

Pros
  • adjustable headrest and armrests, chair height, more ergonomic design
Cons
  • cheaper materials (leatherette and plastic), wheels that I simply had to replace, the creak of the mechanism after a week of use
