Verdict. The FLINTAN is one of IKEA's most affordable mesh office chairs: a breathable backrest, basic built-in lumbar support, height-adjustable armrests and tilt with tension adjustment, all with the 10-year warranty. The adjustments are limited and the materials are entry-level, but for a tight budget and moderate use it's a reasonable mesh option with IKEA's guarantee behind it.

What the community says

Among IKEA users it's seen as a sensible entry buy for its breathable mesh and price, often compared with the Markus. The usual criticisms point to a basic, non-adjustable lumbar and entry-level materials; for moderate days it does the job, but it isn't a substitute for a serious ergonomic chair.
