    Hey Cronos, the screws should be in the frame of the chair already, not in the bag with the
    silver things.

    Got this chair today, very happy with it.
    Just wondering, does everyone else have a little give when you wobble side to side on it? I think its just the nature of how the top part slots into the base?

    There's a small bit of play alright but if it seems a little excessive go around and check every screw to make sure they're tight (don't forget the ones that are underneath). Sometimes when you tighten one screw it makes one you tightened earlier become a bit loose so you always need to double check with these things.

    Cheers OP! Mine arrived today (Tuesday) and I only ordered in Sunday afternoon! The screws caught me out as well! Great chair for the price.

    I'd be interested in this chair. However I don't have a credit card, only 3V. Would I be safe in getting a €50 voucher to pay for this? Don't wanna end up coming up a Euro short or something.

    Well it reclines back when you lean into it but as far as I can see you can't lock it in a reclined position. Unless anybody can put me straight on that?

    You can prevent it from moving back by shoving the height adjustment lever in when it's upright. You can't lock it in a reclined position though.

    Just an update:
    If you try and find this chair through the Viking website (by going to the furniture section, or seaching for it), it's gone up to €49 (instead of 39). They've obviously put the price up a tenner on account of it selling well.

    But if you follow the link on page 1, you can still find the chair on their system for €39. I ordered it and got it no questions asked. So anyone thinking of getting it should order asap, before they realise that the 'old price' is still on the system and ordereable.

    Ordered this yesterday at 11 o'clock and got it at half 10 this morning, put it together in a few minutes. The link posted above still works for the cheaper price. Real nice chair.

    EDIT: and they also have free gifts from time to time, I got a box of Thorntons chocolates...

    Cheers OP!

    Still can't get over what a bargain this is.

    Went to Ikea yesterday to see if i could disappoint myself by seeing that i could got something better....

    But it's pretty unbeatable. Have two of them and the improve the way the office looks so much!

    You can spin around literally 20 times with this chair. It starts to slow down and you think it's going to stop, but it doesnt, it just keeps going :)

    Worth the asking price alone imo, endless hours of entertainment.

    I had a customer there a couple of days ago he's also a mate and i asked him how much he thought i paid for them.....

    He thought €200 cause in fairness....
    He's a bit thick, but they are a great deal!

    Got this chair last week. I didn't find the quality that great. The metal under the arm rests is razor sharp already cut myself off it. Also one of the wheels is faulty and keeps falling out. I must get back on to Viking to sort it out.
