Bought this exact chair a week ago, can attest that even with the regular bendy allen key it still gets stuck. Was genuinely surprised that it happened to not just me. With hindsight, it's easier to put the armrest first then the hydraulics after.

When I think Ikea, I don't think cheap, I think "I'm going to be able to have this shipped to me, carry the package up the narrow-ass stairs in my 150 year old house to my apartment on the third floor, and it's going to fit, then I can assemble it, and it's going to be pretty good." Ok a bit wordy, but I love Ikea for what it is--affordable, accessible, and assemble-able!
Thing is, Ikea also has more expensive, higher quality furniture. And it's still cheaper than other furniture stores, because you still have to build it yourself. Which to me is actually a bonus, I love assembling things!
Also, despite people making fun of it, their building instructions have improved a lot in the last 30 years and it's miles ahead of a LOT of other stuff - you can actually understand it, most of the time! I've seen the one-page-filled-with-arrows-and-smudgy-miniature-drawings instructions from some of the other furniture out there...
I built my Galant home office desk in 2009, and only changed it this year when I wanted to put a sit-stand desk between the two Galant tables. I chose one from a company called "Fully" and it turned out great! And the Ikea Galant desks are holding up just fine after 12 years of use!
@@GreyMinerva Yeah they got that bad rep from the old days. They used to have more or less only the cheaply made particle board stuff. Nowadays they basically still have the cheap stuff, but added higher end options.
The display case has a pegboard back so you can put lightstrips in the space between it and the wall that will shine through the holes and backlight what's inside...according to the in-store displays.
I love that if you watch the time condensed building of the standing desk there's like 5-6 ppl that cycle in and out of the build. Seems like some true Ikea furniture fun. ;)
I can't believe they didn't show the desk changing between standing or seated mode. I saw one at my local IKEA and the range of motion, speed and smoothness truly surprised me
For anyone actually considering buying the IKEA gear, from someone who bought it recently: Its really good actually. Me and my room mate bought 2 of the non-standing version of the desk. Its still height adjustable though. We paid £99 ($136) each and may be the best desk I've tried. 160cm length with height adjust and and a tray/net to hide cables is a steal. I didn't buy the chair, cup holders etc. but my room mate loves them. The desk is super rigid and doesn't move or shake which was a big deal breaker for my last one. As I play mostly CSGO and other FPS games when I swiped my mouse my monitor arm would shake with the desk but the IKEA one doesn't move an inch. As much as I like the standing version and looked at it in store, the extra $350 for it really wasn't worth it when the regular version has height adjust anyway. Reccommendation from me if anyone cares!
Bought the chair a week ago. Overall, I think it's worth the money. It's cheap, so temper your expectations. The lumbar support is pretty alright, not much worse than their Jarvfjallet (christ, what a name). Headrest is good if a bit weak, the tilting can't resist the weight of your head so be wary of that.

Nice, a sponsor I whole-heartedly recommend! Eaton is amazing, we upgraded from several Furman and APC power supplies and battery backups that kept dying, as we setup a whole broadcast control studio, and the Eaton has not only not died from the horrible wall power coming into it, it's completely corrected and smoothed out the voltage that would constantly fluctuate (I mean bad fluctuations, from 106v to 124v), now a consistent 120v or 119v for the past year and a half, no equipment has died, amazing product that protects tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment. They may not be sexy and may not be loaded with stupid RGB craziness, but I'll gladly promote a product that has gone above and beyond what the sales pitch for it is.
I wouldn't mind replacing the various APC BR1500MS2 units around my home with the Eaton 9PX, but not at 17x the price for the equivalent capacity, even if it does offer 2.5x the runtime and an online topology. It's also nearly 4x the price of APC's equivalent online topology Smart-UPS. I can afford to spend $700 for three UPS units. I can't afford to spend $12K. I do hope we can ditch lead acid for lithium ion in general though!
I don't think anyone wants to loose there fun good job job's like working for Linus is super rare to come by who gets to have as much fun messing around wile working/getting payed. Most jobs you sit at your desk and stare at the screen all day.
I know a few canadians who got really good att swedish, Linus is canadian right? Somehow my experience made me think there must be some hidden similarities between the canadian accent and swedish or something because they got good so fast… or maybe they were just fast learners
@@Shmynkellbonkenstein OK so taking the fun out of this... Language comes very naturally to some and a lot less so to others. It helps if your birth language is similar to the one you are trying to learn, but if it's to close you often end up just speaking the new language with a very hard accent. I'm from Sweden and a classmate of mine was born in the UK but had almost no accent I could detect. I kind of assumed he had lived here for a long time and was very surprised when I learned that the family moved to Sweden less than a year earlier, and he hadn't known any Swedish before that. We were 17 at the time... At the same time the school cafeteria was run by a man from Turkey who had lived here for more than fifteen years. His accent was so bad I had a hard time understanding him. I attribute that in part to probably having some damage to my hearing even back then. Operating heavy construction equipment and some really loud machinery since I turned 12 and often skimping on the hearing protection probably didn't help. Yes I knew it was probably bad, but at that age you are still "immortal". Thing is that even though this man had lived here for so long, and worked in the service industry where he had to talk to people every day his accent was still so brutal I often had to ask him to repeat himself. Not everyone has the same affinity for language. For instance I have known several people form the UK that moved to Sweden and my school mate is the only one that picked up the language that completely and quickly, and has the least accent of them all. Yea I know. YT posts in a thread like this should be light hearted and fun, and absolutely should not a wall of text. So sue me...
@@Shmynkellbonkenstein Ya, Linus and the gang are Canadian. When I lived back home, I never met anyone that spoke Swedish. I've lived in the US (Arizona) for many years and I've unfortunately not met anyone that speaks Swedish here either. Makes it a lot harder to learn and impossible to practice.
First video with Serge? He did well. Also, love the dedication of drilling a bunch of holes in the walls for something that's gonna be torn down again in 30 mins.
Picked up a few IKEA items for my sons set up the other day. Went with a simple desk but the it is so handy to have a 1 stop shop for all those little bits that make it all work. Cable management trays are under rated.
As a Swede I really enjoy these IKEA videos and the pronunciation of Swedish names... 😃 _"Lanspelare"_ = _LAN Player._ _"Stig upp. Gå med i Republiken." = Get up. Join the Republic._
"Lanspelare" was just them butchering "Lånespelare" though, which is "loan player" as in sports. Always a joy watching people struggle with IKEA names, lol.
@@JakeSulinjr Their body language looks normal though? The interactions seem more like an evolution of how they were during the ROG Rig Reboot, only now Madison is slightly more professional lol
This was great and the finished setup looked amazing! Also great to have Madison back into a video too, more of her as she makes the video always entertaining
IKEA exists for college kids and kids who got their first house and need some kind of furniture and nothing more. If you’re older than 26 you have failed at life if you are shopping for ikea kids furniture.
As a professional Swede, I am baffled by the fact that people find building IKEA furniture difficult. I mean instructions are usually insanely easy. Also, hearing you try to pronounce the names of the products was amazing, kinda not close but great try!
This was fun to watch video. I actually would've liked to see more about that cabinet with rollers that supposedly has cable management. I'm very curious about that product. Mostly fairly nice stuff from ikea
The best Tool for assembling Ikea furniture is a "Folding Table"! Getting up off the floor cuts the time in half. Gotta turn the torque down on the drill too. Not hard to strip out MDF.
coming from one of the old Ikea office chairs I got 8 years ago, I got the Matchspel a few weeks ago and it was life-changing. cushioned, with a back rest that actually supported my back and it reclines too??? I think it’s a great value for the price, considering it’s also not their most expensive chair!
this is the first time I have seen Serge, and I am all about this dude. He is too cool and knows his shit and you can tell he thinks in a practical way about how he executes a task.
Serge from LTT here with an epic cardboard box teardown and disposal. First we tear the box into smaller more compact pieces and then we throw it in the recycling dumpster. This show brought to you by our sponsor: the LTT store boxcutter
Given this was the first time we've seen him on camera (that I remember), he did very well and I have a feeling with some expriance he could be a good recurring personality.
The hard to reach bolt is easy to reach with the included L shaped hexwrench, if you don't chop them up.. Maybe someone like iFixit can send Linus some bit screwdrivers or something, I bet there is a proper tool to put in an cordless screwdriver/drill to mount Ikea furniture....
I don't know why but in this video it felt like Alex didn't bother reading the instructions on how to assemble stuff. It's quite obvious that the markings aren't wrong way around.
I’ve installed dozens of those 9PX units. The setup is incredible and it looks great. Huge warning though: the battery expansion port is not covered. You can, quite easily, shock yourself on it. #feelsgreat
Dude the black setup was SOOO BEAUTIFUL. Love those videos , i dream someday i will have the money to make something this great for me and my wife (she deserve more than me haha) . And love how energetic everyone was including linus jumping as a kid who got all of that at christmas

Also great to have Madison back into a video too, more of her as she makes the video always entertaining
I just want to say that Madison is awesome. I'm glad you onboarded her.
"Assgirth" is actually a good IKEA chair name.
Linus: hey alex "middle finger"
Alex: not cool
lol my humor is broken
I died so hard
I'm so buying an Eaton UPS after watching this video

Hello checkmark
IKEA exists for college kids and kids who got their first house and need some kind of furniture and nothing more. If you’re older than 26 you have failed at life if you are shopping for ikea kids furniture.
@@ryanschaff2507 you have no idea what you're talking about
@@ryanschaff2507 So I'm 27 and I can't afford 100k $ table. It makes me failure in life right?
As a professional Swede, I am baffled by the fact that people find building IKEA furniture difficult. I mean instructions are usually insanely easy. Also, hearing you try to pronounce the names of the products was amazing, kinda not close but great try!
That moment the 40 oz bottle fit, the look on his face is priceless
This was fun to watch video. I actually would've liked to see more about that cabinet with rollers that supposedly has cable management. I'm very curious about that product. Mostly fairly nice stuff from ikea
18:30 Ikea ROG magnetic bar to hold 2 kitchen knives onto the wall.
I can't breathe.
Linus saying "what the devil" is the highlight of my day
@@revitasari4463 sorry lady im only into furries
@@battlebuddy4517 ur so cringe
Asus realy making innovative and cool stuff💻
"the whole thing is so cohesive"
*pans to kitchen knives next to a minecraft pickaxe*
The best Tool for assembling Ikea furniture is a "Folding Table"! Getting up off the floor cuts the time in half.
Gotta turn the torque down on the drill too. Not hard to strip out MDF.
coming from one of the old Ikea office chairs I got 8 years ago, I got the Matchspel a few weeks ago and it was life-changing. cushioned, with a back rest that actually supported my back and it reclines too??? I think it’s a great value for the price, considering it’s also not their most expensive chair!
Looks like everyone had a lot of fun filming this, very enjoyable. And the ikea stuff doesnt look half bad
this is the first time I have seen Serge, and I am all about this dude. He is too cool and knows his shit and you can tell he thinks in a practical way about how he executes a task.
👍
Indeed. More Serge, please.
Here I stand asking for more content with Madison!
That girl's jokes are fucking hilarious
@@gokutoriyama3179 jokes on you, i'm not straight...
Anyway i was referring to the techquickie videos
More of Serge from logistics and about his logistical woes.
Serge from LTT here with an epic cardboard box teardown and disposal.
First we tear the box into smaller more compact pieces and then we throw it in the recycling dumpster.
This show brought to you by our sponsor: the LTT store boxcutter
Given this was the first time we've seen him on camera (that I remember), he did very well and I have a feeling with some expriance he could be a good recurring personality.
9:20 Look how peaceful both of them look in background over there. That's because they maintain silence.
Alex not saying "nice" after $69: growth!
Linus making the hand do a middle finger - nevermind...
Also Linus didn't say nice.
You have 69 likes. I am so tempted to give you a like to make it 70 but I won't. NOICE
Now i just need a bigger room to fit the desk i'm going to buy from Ikea, do they sell cheap rooms as well? Or houses i should say.
As if Madison couldn't be any cooler, she wears a Black Label Society shirt
She really is perfect lol
@@homedecore1391 cool story brah really needed some new curtains for my studio apartment
“Look how fast my computer is”
If i drop my computer from a cliff it's even faster than that!
I always enjoy watching Linus!
I like the ”stig upp, gå med i republiken” touch you did in the intro, actually awesome🤓
The fact that Madison actually works at LTT is still very hilarious to me.
Well, Colton is still there too.
@@seraid743 Madison was fired???
@@hatiroth7919 pretty sure he's just continuing the joke of Colton always being fired he just didnt reply to the guy above him
Love the synthwave vibe at 4:30
I like watching Linus work on these group projects! It's great to see the other staff and I love how much they all enjoy working together!
Haha "Stig up" is never used as an uprising, it is more like "get up" out of your bed 😂
18:31
Those kitchen knives are the finishing touch.
The hard to reach bolt is easy to reach with the included L shaped hexwrench, if you don't chop them up..
Maybe someone like iFixit can send Linus some bit screwdrivers or something, I bet there is a proper tool to put in an cordless screwdriver/drill to mount Ikea furniture....
I don't know why but in this video it felt like Alex didn't bother reading the instructions on how to assemble stuff. It's quite obvious that the markings aren't wrong way around.
Hypotheses: anything dark that you can't see piled into a dark corner with RGB will achieve the 'Gamer's look'.
I sign up as a researcher who hopes to prove it
I’ve installed dozens of those 9PX units. The setup is incredible and it looks great. Huge warning though: the battery expansion port is not covered. You can, quite easily, shock yourself on it. #feelsgreat
16:53 I am happy that we are finally getting episode 2 of Linus and Madison drive each other nuts. Can't wait for episode 3!
Hearing Linus say my last name in the sponsor spot really freaked me out for a second lmao. Even funnier that I work for them
Dude the black setup was SOOO BEAUTIFUL. Love those videos , i dream someday i will have the money to make something this great for me and my wife (she deserve more than me haha) . And love how energetic everyone was including linus jumping as a kid who got all of that at christmas
0:45 seems like linus is angry at the competition between his pillows and ROG pillows👀👀😂😂
it only took a few years, but Linus finally complimented Madison on building something :P
It feels like linus and Madison have a fun father daughter relationship.. I love that
At IKEA, I saw a multipurpose gaming desk that came with built in rgb strips, monitor riser, and speaker stands and storage areas haha.
This RGB mania is so cringe.
