Our take on the IKEA POÄNG Armchair

The POÄNG is IKEA's best-known bentwood armchair: a layer-glued birch frame with a high back and a springy, rocking feel from the curved side rails. This version ships as a chair-and-ottoman set with Knisa light beige cushions, and the cushion covers are sold separately so you can change the look. It holds up to 110 kg and carries a 10-year limited warranty. Its bentwood flex and high back set it apart from rigid upholstered lounge chairs, though owners say the finish and cushion padding are where it cuts corners.
