As most forummers know, there is a very widely recommended chair called the Ikea MARKUS. I have done a fair bit of reading and research and ultimately decide to buy it, so please refrain from suggesting any other make and models. I just wanted hear some feedback to help decide if I should get the leather version or the fabric version from MARKUS owners.

Some info if it helps:
- I will usually be on the chair for the entire day (12 hours) on Saturdays and Sundays.
- No air-cond as my set up is in the living room, only one small standing fan (the old panasonic kind) pointing towards me.
- Will eat food regularly at this seat, have spilt stuff on previous chair. (this would point to leather but I'm not opposed to cleaning the chair regularly if fabric is easy to clean)

I don’t like that chair.

The angle between seat and back are fixed.

Im using Markus, 7months old.

I dont eat on the chair, but i suppose u can vacumm or clean with damp cloth.

Comfortable to sit for 12hours, mco time i was sitting there most of the time

leather is real leather or the fake one? if fake one sure cannot tahan and peel off in malaysia's weather

Marcus leather ver out of stock so far at ikea cheras

Im using 3 of this chair, so far so good if you ok with non adjustable design. Go for leather, easier for maintenance, even my cat scratch it still not tear yet~ haha

no aircond.. of cos choose fabric la..

the leather is PU, long run sure crack. better go with fabric

No aircond 24/7 dont pick leather.

My Ikea chair leather peeling off because of humidity and sometimes sweat after long hours sitting.

is this the fabric or leather one?

like I said, already decided on the chair, thanks for the feedback.

exactly, out of stock at damansara and cheras for a long time so I was wondering why demand so good, but fabric not out of stock

the leather one

leather, fabric and you spill food prepare gg. and top up rm50 only right for leather.
quite good. if want upgrade, i will pick secretlab already and nothing in between. my friend bought one of those dumb af gaming chairs at 700++, all koliks say markus more premium.
mon friday office work use.

fabric

sorry no stock right now

the leather wears down under skin and hair oils. The seat is going strong, but the arms and headrest shed the plastic leather everywhere. Up until that point, it was far easier to clean than the cloth version

Leather one will start koyak after few years. Fabric more prone to dirt. Structure wise if your weight between 60-70kg no problem one. Mine was more than ten years already.

sweat kena fabric after sum time u will know the bau

If no air-con, i suggest get fabric. Else you have sweaty butt later..

But if fabric,iinm the handle is some rubber grip, not nice to rest your hand there..

But if makan and might spill stuff, leather is better. Very easy to clean up. The armrest also leather wrapped, so its ok to rest your hand there..

Leather quite tahan i think, mine almost 4 years still no koyak2 or peel off yet. But yeah, its fake leather anyway.

If it were up to me, i would take fabric seat + leather armrest combo.. leather seat quite keras i wish it was a bit softer.. but good also la, means it wont sag after years of use.. but im not heavy anyway, 60kg only
