  • I reviewed Ikea's most expensive chair, the Gruppspel Gaming Chair. At $300-400 USD, is it worth the pick up? Fair warning, I didn't know how to use google translate properly, so I butchered the name SO hard...apologies, my Swedish friends!

Though I didn't have any oddities with by butt and the back of the chair so not sure what was going on there with the review.

    @tommyguan5952 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For the head support (the lumbar as well), it's like there are 5 gears' positions to adjust, the first 4 is for different height, and the 5th is for reset. So when you pull the head support all the way up, you actually hit the 5th gear and that's why it would just go down/reset again. The tricky part of using it is actually we need to hear and feel the 'clicking' inside the mechanism therefore to reach the right gear position we want.

    Awesome review Dan! Seriously, IKEA gets so close to 'good' in most of their latest stuff, but just seems to be missing either a feature or quality mark. I still have a 2004 Galant corner desk that has held up really well over the years - but it looks like their newer stuff just keeps going the cheaper route.

About the arms being made of plastic, well I think it's just a matter of taste, for some people, they just don't care.

    Hey man, thanks for the honest review. I visited the nearest Ikea store in my city (Mumbai, India). And after trying out Renberget, Flintan and Gruppspel.. I honestly found all of them equally good, especially when I sat on the Gruppspel, I was like blown away by my first impression of it. Of course it was just based on sitting on it once or twice maybe.. but after watching this video I am totally confused.. whether to trust my instinct or your facts. But ya I think I should revisit the store and test it out if it really is as it presents itself on the first go and can meet my needs. If not I will go either for the other two (Renberget or Flintan or even Odger which I loved the design of)...

    That lip is a huge problem indeed. Big let down.

    I might be in the minority but I actually found the chair uncomfortable. I don't like how the lower end of the seat back cushion bulges out to the point where you could feel it jabbing at the bottom of your back. The fact that the cushion itself is quite hard doesn't help either. I find that my back (particularly around the hip area) tends to ache a little if I sit on this chair for a prolonged period of time. I struggle to get comfortable in this chair when using my computer or watching TV.

    This chair has honestly been the best I’ve ever had. I’m 6ft 4” and find most office chairs to be too small for me but the Gruppspel fits my body perfectly I can see however how this chair wouldn’t be as good for people under 6ft. I did also pay the extra $100AUD to get the leather version but I doubt that would make any difference in my experience.

    aeroninternational is not in Europe. The Brits decided so. And that means heavy import duties and taxes, as well as long waiting times (just look at the lorry queues in Dover). I did a quick calculation. I can get a new Aeron for about 20% more delivered assembled and fully warrantied to my door. Should I ever have an issue with the used one, I'd have to ship it back to the UK, outside Europe, meaning high costs and lots of issues.
    So those guys are not an alternative unless they open a shop here on the continent. Sorry English friends, but you voted for it, you now got it.

    • @Ahnestly

      Hey baka, mind if I email you or could you email me? (Ahntouragemedia@gmail.com) I’m pretty naive about how Europe works and am very sensitive about who I work with as sponsors. I’d love to learn more so I can decide whether to work with these guys in the future.

    • @bakakafka4428
      @bakakafka4428 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@Ahnestly I don't mind if you email me but there's not much to say. They do ship to Europe, but they don't include the tax and duties, so you'll have to pay for those once you receive the parcel. They should at least mention this, so people would be prepared and could see if the price was still OK. The border between the UK and the rest of Europe, the EU or European Union, is basically now the same as between the EU and the rest of the world. The UK voted in their Brexit referendum that they wanted out, and so it happened. Which means we now have a hard customs border between us. They should rejoin the European common market, then this would no longer be an issue, but it would mean conforming to EU market rules, which the Brexiteers explicitly refuse. Thus, the best option for companies like aeroninternational would be to set up a warehouse and a few personel in a EU country, doesn't matter which one - between EU members the borders are open and require very little paperwork. But I get that the number of sales they get might not make this economically viable. Best option for now is to at least just mention the extra taxes and duties people will have to pay to avoid unpleasant surprises.
      I would not say this makes them an unreliable company or sponsor. It unfortunately does mean I won't be buying from them, even if I do want an Aeron. Not because I don't trust them, nor do I care that they're in the UK (this is not a political issue). It's just that their prices aren't as nice once you calculate all the involved costs. Shipping is around 25% of the chair. Price plus shipping is then the base used to calculate import duties. Those duties are added to the total, which then is subject to sales tax. This varies per country but is around 20%. Do the math, it no longer makes sense for me to get a used chair from them, better to save my pennies for a new one. For people in the UK, they're a great option.

      Hi Baka, thanks for the feedback- so in regards to the customs yes unfortunately this is an issue we now face - we are aware of the hefty fees that can be added on and although in some regions it still works out cheaper for the chair plus delivery plus import fees we are aware that for some countries local sellers still work out cheaper- we are currently working on this and are opening a warehouse within the EU so chairs can go out through Europe without the customs tax currently incurred- we will be fully integrating this into our operations within the next few weeks
      We do currently state in our product descriptions thats customs tax will be incurred as we currently use UPS however rolling out in the next few days we will be increasing the shipping slightly and we will have the customs charges charged to us and not the buyer as a tempory measure until we have our facility within the EU up and running
      We’d like to thank you for your helpful feedback

  • @tonyawhitaker7219

    I just purchased the chair yesterday after having sat in my son’s chair at his place and during many visits to IKEA.
    I agree that the arms are cheap. Beyond that I love it. It cups my body like a fitted glove. I don’t have any of the issues you mentioned including no lump on my bum when I sit back.
    Maybe you have to have a good bun for this bucket seat! 😂😂😂
    It is on the firmer side, and I tend to go soft or medium. However I don’t really feel it’s overly firm when I sit. I do feel supported.
    Arm rests are trash, but I rarely use the armrest while working.
    I’m 5’4” so I think height and body makeup will determine if you love or hate this chair.
    I’m can’t believe I spent $369 for it, but the back support was worth it for my autoimmune suffering body!

    • @Ahnestly
      @Ahnestly  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey so I appreciate feedback, so want to respond without sounding like a jerk bc you took time to request something. If you find it comfortable, that’s great though and I always encourage people to think for themselves! What you’re asking me to do though is impossible. I reviewed the chair from the perspective of all the other $400 chairs I’ve reviewed, not from the perspective of “relative to all the chairs available to X countries across the world” bc that just wouldn’t be feasible. I’m sorry some chairs aren’t available in Australia, but I can’t know what is and isn’t available there, so I can only review products based on other products I’ve tested. I ALWAYS look for redeeming factors because I try not to engage in simplistic black/white thinking of the world (see my latest review of the $300 chair). I couldn’t find a lot good about this chair for $400, again, relative to the other chairs I’ve tried in the price range.
      Also, forgot to mention that you finding it comfortable isn’t necessarily a result of me not presenting pros and cons properly. It’s more likely a result of having different body types/preferences/experiences. That’s why I don’t just give my opinion - I break down measurements, features, shapes, etc. I hope you find this a fair response but if there’s something you think I didn’t present fairly, let me know!
