description IKEA FLINTAN Chair Overview

The IKEA FLINTAN is an office chair from IKEA for use at a desk in a home or workplace. It has adjustable seat height, and versions of the chair use a mesh or fabric back. The FLINTAN is a task chair rather than a dining or lounge chair, so it is intended for seated desk activities such as computer work, study, and administration. Its simple design places it within IKEA's everyday office-furniture range.

help IKEA FLINTAN Chair FAQ

Does the FLINTAN have lumbar support and adjustable armrests?

It's a basic task chair: adjustable seat height with mesh- or fabric-back versions, but not the adjustable lumbar support of IKEA's pricier MARKUS chair. Armrests, where included, adjust for height at most.

How much weight can it take?

IKEA commonly tests its office chairs to 110 kg (about 243 lb), which is the rating to confirm on the product page. Staying within it keeps the gas cylinder and base in warranty territory.

Is assembly difficult?

Like most IKEA chairs, it ships flat-packed and takes roughly 30–45 minutes with the included hex key. You assemble base, seat, and back separately, then set the chair onto the gas cylinder.

How does it compare to the IKEA MARKUS?

The MARKUS is taller with a mesh back, adjustable lumbar support, and IKEA's 10-year guarantee on office chairs, at roughly double a budget task chair's price. The FLINTAN trades those away for a lower price and smaller footprint.
