A transparent chair that mirrors its surroundings. It picks up the colors of the room and appears to be floating. And because there’s flexibility in the seat, you may feel like you are floating too.

The nicest chairIrvingGreat5
Tobias clear chairsLAURENCESo far so good , they were a little tricky to make but I was able to do the 6 of them in about 1 hour . They look very nice with my table ! .4
GorgeousCrystalMaybe not the best choice for a waiting room but it is so beautiful I couldn't help myself and it is for a glass company so kinda on theme. It's gives the room an upscale look. The assembly was easy enough.5
Good qualityMonetI Love this chair! It is heavy, not cheaply made like some other clear chairs I've seen.5
Classic yet modernSAMANTHALove the color. Clear is classic but so yesterday. This brings a modern twist because it’s clear but adds more “UMPH” to your home. Wish there were many more different colors…….. IKEA, do you hear me?! Price also on point!5
Assembly was difficult. Seat boltsCherylAssembly was difficult. Seat bolts were not consistently flush with the seat2
Heavy and crakedJudith c.100% agree with review from Maya B, in my case all 4 chairs , I can send pictures I think the material resistant it’s too low, please check design1
Love itFELICIALove it5
Heavy and crackedMaya B.We initially got these chair because of their clear plastic and see-through surface. We live in a small apartment and they added space. But they are really heavy when you have to sweep and wash floors. And after about 3 years - one cracked right in the middle of the seat.2
Great - but doesn"t last too longMICHAEL K.Overall a great chair, but after maybe roughly a year, two of my chairs have cracked! Right in the middle where your legs bend. ie. it pinches your legs now. Wish it could last longer or you can buy a replacement part - the metal is perfectly fine... feels like a waste3
Tobias - we love these as our kitchen chairsLore S.We've had 10 of these chairs for 2 years and they are really great. Sturdy, easy to clean and they do make any room seem larger. However, 2 of the chairs have cracked down the center! I'm trying to buy the replacements, but they are not available in the South Florida stores or to purchase online for home delivery. I'm hoping there will soon have more available for purchase. IKEA can you help?4
Comfortable ChairJeffEasy to put together and comfortable to sit in.5
Easy to crack and hard to replaceCHAO C.We bought a set of four chairs and two of them have already cracked. Unfortunately there appears to be no way to purchase a replacement seat shell (instead of replacing the whole chair). Reading reviews from others, this seems to be a pretty common problem.2
PerfectCherylPerfect4
Chairs crackingPat G.These chairs are inexpensive and fairly durable, but we have had two of the plastic seats crack. It would be great if we could just buy replacement seats without having to replace the whole thing, but it seems the seat can not be ordered separately. Based on Reddit reviews, several people have had the same issue.2
Great price for a great productEmilyEasy to assemble too.5
classyCLEO H.Nice complement to open floor plan with breuer style dining set, lots of acrylic & glass, without being matchy-matchy.5
BeautifulKrystal A.I love this chair very sleek and sturdy. Easy to clean matches my decor perfectly. It is lightweight but built strong.5
We have received many complimentsAbbyWe have received many compliments on these chairs! They were super easy to put together and are very comfortable to sit in.5

Story

Our take on plastic

Plastic is a key material for IKEA, and remains so going forward. It is strong, durable, lightweight and versatile. It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs. There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously. As part of our larger circular journey and transition from virgin fossil based material, we are working hard to change all plastic in our home furnishing products to plastic made from recycled and/or renewable raw materials.

Only recycled or renewable plastics

Plastic is most commonly derived from oil and gas, which are non-renewable fossil sources. These sources do not renew themselves and will eventually be depleted. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials. Renewable plastic is made from materials such as vegetable oil, corn, wheat grain and sugar cane. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Using recyclable sources also lessens our dependency on oil as a raw material. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same.

Phasing out single-use plastics

Single-use plastic items pollute ecosystems if not disposed of responsibly. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. This includes items such as plates, cups, and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes. These were replaced by disposables made from 100% renewable sources.

PET and PP our most commonly used plastics

Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. They absorb very little water and have good chemical resistance. Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. At IKEA we mainly use recycled PET in boxes, filling material for textiles and kitchen front foil. PET is approved by health-agencies as safe to use for food and beverage. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles.

Clean and safe

IKEA takes product safety very seriously and all products are tested and comply with the strictest possible laws and safety standards on all IKEA markets. Customers should always feel confident that products bought at IKEA are safe and healthy to use. IKEA wants to minimize or totally refrain from the use of chemicals and substances that can be harmful to people and the environment.

Together, we can do more

Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. We want to give our customers the possibility to choose products made from more sustainable materials that can be recycled again one day. Together, we can make a big difference!
