Like some ppl,

the POÄNG chair is very captivating



and with mine that have weathered my butt for almost 7 years

its start to show its age

with CNY spring cleaning in gear

sprucing up is needed, the seat have bore the final brunt of my big butt
and cave in

so 1st step, take apart



used some tools to remove the godawful lots of staples



your arms will "love" you for it

Then, find some suitable replacements



seen here is 2" shipping straps cut to length
(front-back - 63cm x 9 pcs, left-right - 71cm x 7 pcs)

or just buy tonnes of Guitar straps


some staples to the end

Tips: cut a bit of straps, and test staples on some similar wood


Badabing, bada boom

4hrs later


the bottom


you might saw the two extra strap



jerry rig something to stop the cushion to slip out to the back

Done!!





what have you done recently? hmmm?

Mine is still in good condition...frame still ok. Using since 2006. Changed the cushion twice. Still comfy. Bought mine with the leg rest. Nice.

conclusion: TS gemuk

Soon it will break, your ass will hit the floor hard hard...

My 1 13 yrs still ok. Change the cushion to leather more durable. Use the old cushion internal foam to add in the butt side.

looks nice. how long you spent? saw 4hrs

stapled? good luck

This kind of money not worth saving. The frame only cost around RM200. U DIY this, sekali break u really cry.

Ts is a crafty guy. I Salute!

My Poang is under-used

Only my cats sleep on it

Planning to sell it off but abit sayang

This 1 also buy from ikea?

Last time buy from chinese kedai perabot, sqme only 1

Rather than stapler, why dont you take nail and hammer the thing.

Interesting, got inspired to fix mine someday.

I would also advise you to oil the wood. Baby oil works too if you don't have wood oil.

Good job

I thought this chair got lifetime warranty ? Once break van exchange new one. But need proof of purchased

Ikea stated 10 years guarantee yo.

Ikea no Pewdiepie chair?

Not suitable

Good job. I think most ppl will just throw and get a new 1.

/tered

so u can imagine u being the poang and ts sit on top

please sand lightly first to remove the dirt before oiling. u dont want to seal the dirt into the grain.

The white strap what is the name?where to buy it?

chair webbing

Cukur my POANG haven't broke yet

Thanks for tips

Patah kerusi!

Although TS is an obvious fatty, but I give my salute for the effort

avatar cny pula.. kreatif juga kamu.

/k standard buy new

damn, that day my mom sat on this chair, directly she wanted to buy it already

Pernah cave in. Ur going to butthurt if those wood pecah and u sit on this nail if second coming cave in.. Staple damage also not that high lor.

kek mesti neber use POANG chair before

go ahead and try hammer and nail on it. tell me the frame stay the same anot

stapler is the right fastener to use to attach fabric to the wood frame

tis

I never have any ikea chair before

I salute or I wet?

Probably TS big ass excluded out of warranty in the fine print

most low end IKEA stuff uses plywood wan, if nail and hammer it kaboom itll break faster than you can say "what?"

i used rubber mallet once to try push the tightening part, suffice to say it broke the table leg in a couple of hits >.>

inb4 japanese ikea chair

nice... but u should repaint it 1st

The leather buy from ikea also? Can choose in between leather and cushion seat when we buy?

Yes, sand it and wipe it with wet tissue to remove most of the grime.

Then have a rag drop a few drops of baby oil and wipe to a shine.

i bought mine straight webbing version instead of cushion, but one of the wood kinda starting to break apart, at the support area , approx 6 years ?

Maybe just attach velcro to the cushion so that it will not slip?

It's cheap. Just buy a new one.

Why is TS cheapskate?

Yes you can choose

For my case, my dog loves to sit on poang also and the fur sticks to the fabric. So my latest replacement is leather. Just wipe or vacuum off the fur.

Good job ts!

I using it daily even right now

With stool

u confirm never diy repair anything before.

its not a mattwr of cheap or not. its about u capable of repairing ur own stuffs instead of throwing it away then buying a new one

Of course can choose.

IKEA can choose many fabric. Leather is one of it.

Easy to takecare. And not easy subside like fabric.

Abit expensive. But worth it.

Yes.

I find it easier to maintain leather sofa than fabric. Just wipe or vacuum. Fabric need to remove, wash, dry, put back. So much hassle.

Some more my dog stay indoors. Leather sofa and chairs easier to take care.

It's Culture here that ppl dint DIY. Unlike westerners, they will DIY. Partly because repair man there charges expensive. Unlike here, consider cheap.

That's why big hardware shops like ACE you seldom see many ppl.

Sorry if I misled some people here

you guys must think my staples is these puny kind


but really, to do this, you have to have at least one of this


not exactly the same level here


get one with at least 8mm length
the original is 8~10mm but theirs is coarser type
so thats why I double up on the tacks, where as the original IKEA uses a single row to hold onto the wood



well, the investment here is the staples.
the straps is from the store rubbish area
the stapler was a broken one thrown away that repair back to usable state

the money saving I would guess ~RM 100 at least

plus as kurangak said
there is the joy of able to repair something with ones own hand
that buying replacement cant really fill



saw one in the furniture shop as well
but that one have not the flexibility of POANG

hmm.. never oil wood before, just gone in dry heheheh

well
my waist is ~38

weigh 98~105kg @ 6'2" (hahahahah dua inci!!! hahahahah)

am I gemok, yeahh :sad:

well the fabric broke like ~4 days already
luckily the company have shipment in have remove the straps
ripe for me to use

it proof mau cari mana
sudah recycle dunno where dee

saw the test @ kl sana punya ikea
100kg push down dunno how many milion time dee

lack of time plus I am lazy fat ass

sitting or back area
you say, start to break apart
if the connector still good, just the middle part start to crack, the find a length of wood, or metal, simialr sized
and use cable ties to support the braking wood,

if broken, then either DIY anotherpiece or buy new

no velcro at the time
still my fat ass will push way past velcro capacity to hold on

boss, saya kerja kilang, balu keluar itu Honda Civic
manyak tarak duit, tarak duit mau beli ini itu balu

sikarang hari hari makan roti sama air

cukur mine 7 tahun still brand new.

I oil my POÄNG chair maybe once a year.

To keep the wood smooth to touch and not becoming dry/brittle.

the background so

:sweating:

105kg ?

You didn't read the poang manual?

Not really.

The main problem is the space.

Do you have a garage to start ?

why do you need garage to DIY?

do it in your front porch le

Mine using around 11yrs still haven break ..discolouration on cushion only ..

WONDERFUL

this one sucks, sit until ass pain

Peasants chair lol almost all malaysian have it

Bought one coz it really comfy

Westerners change their furniture like changing underwear.

Westerners DIY for fun. They love to cut their iPhoneX into half.
They go to hardware shop to get the tools they need.

What talking you? You don't simply whack.

Eh.. You mean this ?



You know mostly now people stay in apart/condo/flat.

How to place a table saw, bench drill, planar, welder... Even a terrace house also difficult.

err
this build as well as my previous PC build was done in a apartment 1k square feet size apartment

i understand those table saw, bench drill etc is not possible

in my case most of the time, there is ALWAYS another way

... Lose some weight, seriously.

Than what ? And end up with what ?

You can't continue to dream big. Only limited with the space.

Yes, there is always another way. Just pay for it. Why so susah DIY.

DIY doesnt mean u need all those le. haha thats home production industry already.
just need a bunch of hand tools/cordless tools and a mini workbench

naisuu

Is it normal for the chair to creak upon assembly? I bought one last week, assembled it, ensured all the screws are tights, but still creaks when sitting or getting up.

Yeah, wat to expect,

Wood in wood, especially flexible ones will creak

where you bought this bench from and how much?

local should have it, seen before. i think acehardware got.

dis one can diy urself as well 😂

i really jelly that angmo hav a large selection of brands of powertool that they can choose from, ranging from cheap to very expensivr. here u can choose either china brand or bosch only
