Thank you for sharing. I bought one of these at Goodwill and had to disassemble it to fit it in my car. After a rigorous cleaning, I was having difficulty reassembling it. Your video saved the day. Tom, God loves you Brother!
I could not have managed this without you. 0nce I managed to move the subtitles away from your hands I was able to assemble this without any difficulty at all. Thank you very much x
Thanks for your video. I'm a visual learner so it's helpful to watch an example. I'm just tossing up between getting the rocking or the non-rocking versions of this model chair🎉
lost my instructions to re build the poang and then here i go just in luck to find a very useful video to what seems like a Swedish model who's quit his job to start his building career.
This guy is getting a thumbs up JUST because of his name! LOL! I can read the instructions and I did, but ANY GUY calling himself IKEAHUNK AND running his fingers through his hair is getting MY THUMBS UP!!!!!!!
Hey I know you probably joke about the whole hunk thing, or you probably really love yourself, but I am here just to say thank you. I assembled my Poang wrong for the last 3 years lol. No wonder it always felt off then in IKEA. Only realise it today when I bought another mini Poang for the kid and Google your video.
✋👍 You should (Ikea France etc ..) make more videos with ikea products by indicating precisely the accessories supplied (screws etc.) during assembly ✅
You can visit your local Ikea and try it before you buy it 🙂 Tom is a little over 5’10 for reference. It should work ok but best to try it out In store if possible.
There are two different size screws that look really similar. The smaller of them is used for the first step. I struggled so I thought others might’ve. Good luck and thank you for the tutorial
In my opinion it would be fairly easy to disassemble and reassemble without issue. The hardware is fairly robust unlike some of the other furniture from Ikea.
We just moved several states away and it held up well, just put all the pieces in a ziploc and tape it to the chair and rewatch this video took us maybe 15 minutes
Tom shows the horizontal slats of the back rest slotting into the vertical sides of the chair. These are mortice and tenon joints and all have captive nuts in the tenon part. Tom then shows tightening the Bolts into the captive nuts. Unfortunately in a bid to make the bolt more secure in the nut some thread locking compound has been added to the bolts. In one of these chairs that my son bought either one of the captive nuts was not captivated enough or the added presssure needed to scerew the bolt with the thread locking compound into the nut worked the nut loose. So the bolt is not fully tightened, the bolt is stuck in the captive nut because of the threadlocking compond and bolt and nut are turning as one. Bolt can not be removed from nut, so bolt is stuck in nut but not tightened and bolt can not be removed from nut to try and remedy situation. Son has to return chair back to IKEA on bus.
I find the seating part comfortable but not the head part as the curve at the top pushes my head and neck forward. I’m thinking of cutting the top section off!
I think you need to copyright the character you are portraying; I could just imagine Colin Jost playing a character called IkeaHunk, where he would have all kinds of excuses for taking his shirt off and would wear his tool belt at the gym, at the pool/nude beach/shower, etc.
Thanks for the comment, we love SNL and wold love to see Jost do a skit. We have a lot of fun putting this character together, Tom often questions some of our suggestions but we have had a lot of laughs doing it. Thanks for watching.
So there is a cherry brown color chair. Ugh. I bought the rocking chair and got the "black-brown" wood which is black and a "brown" ottoman which is black-brown.
Watching this video to assemble poäng chair, took me an hour and I am still not done. This guy is way too fast and somehow it feels like the focus of video is on the guy and not really on chair assembly lol. Gonna search for other video of poäng assembly on youtube. This one is some fast forward adveritisement video of ikea (not very helpful, sorry).
