Pagong Chair
Ariella and I assembled our Pagong chair from Ikea last night. It's beautiful and bouncy.
We first visited Ikea in 2000 during the first season of Survivor and were tickled to see that Ikea had named a chair after one of the tribes. But we waited almost three years before making the purchase.
Sitting in the Pagong chair last night, I smiled as I thought about the first Surivor season and how we watched with Gil & Becky every week. Maybe I'll get a Rudy action figure for my birthday.
(Yes, I know that the rest of the world mistakenly calls it the Poäng chair. They're wrong. If everyone else decided to jump off a bridge, would you do it, too?)
heh,
I got one of those chairs right when IKEA first opened, (significantly before Survivor) It wasn't called Pagong, but it's a damn comfy chair, none the less. I had to get rid of it when i got married for all the usual reasons.
Somehow, I've always had problems with IKEA being a sponsor for Survivor. Mostly because I don't think Navy Seals recommend people pack allen wrenches in their survival kits.
Posted by jr at January 21, 2003 02:05 PMJust bought two POÄNG chairs from IKEA and I am not sure that I like them. Got them all assembled and they felt comfortable to begin with but now after using them I am not sure. I question the durability. We bought the black leather medium brown beech versions with footstools. But when I look at what I paid for them it is hard to justify spending $700.00 for one mobelteam leather chair. How well do the Poang chairs hold up? Did I make a good choice or is there a better product for the price that I should be looking at instead?
