I'd lusted after an Ikea leather Poang as my dedicated listening chair for a long time. Finally got one, what a disappointment. They should put a warning for anyone over six feet.

Did you hit the door frame with your head on the way out of the shop? On a serious note Nigel, you surely tried it out for size before you bought it or was it mail order? Mike.

How much is that, Mike? A couple of grand? I'd want two weeks in Spain thrown in as well.

Cheapskate that I am, I bagged a local one off eBay for £50. Mint condition as well. I'd like to take it back though. Just picked it up before, lovely lady was selling it.

Smaller than me! They have a headrest. Because we are so tall, it becomes a shoulder rest, this seems to mess up the whole lower back posture.

I have used one of those with a fabric cover for many years as a listening chair , and find it very comfortable. However, I am only about 5'10" tall.

Nice one, Alex! Maybe I need to work out a better sitting position in it.

Hi Nigel Unfortunately, my cat found it an irresistible scratching post, and I also often have to fight her for possession of the chair ! Have you also tried putting an old seat cushion inside it to give you a small improvement in height for your longer legs ? Kind Regards Alex

Hi Alex,
It's a possibility but I reckon the moral of the tale is be happy with what you got.
All the best to you mate.
Nigel

Hi Alex,
I've grown into the chair, finding it a lot more comfortable now. Had to tweak the headrest a bit. As I said, previously more a shoulder rest in my case.

What you are really saying is "I'm a bit older now and have shrunk into the chair"...... come on, out with the truth! Next upgrade will be a vibrating Stannah stairlift Mike xx
