Does anyone have an IKEA children's chair called "MINNEN"

[Katymac]

If so is it quite sturdy or a bit delicate?

TIA

KMc

oopps it's here

No, but I'm off to ikea tomorrow so can sit on it if you like !

they are pretty sturdy. we used to have them at a place I worked at and they were great (as long as you put together properly lol)

Did you work in a nursery fingerwoman??

That's what I'm considering them for

Oh Wheelybug would you? & if there are anyother children's chairs that would be good

no, they were used with the kids table in a restaurant I worked in. got a lot of use though.

I've got the cheapo table and chair (£11.99 one) set here for ds and even they are pretty sturdy little things

Yep - I have some of them - but the tables are the wrong size

I quite like the Mamut - but it's plastic & that is the wrong look for the nursery

I love this but it is a cleaning nightmare

I have 3 of these and one of these for my three and they are fab

I did want the wood ones rather than the white but didn't do the table to match, but now I really like the white set. Very sturdy amd take my weight

I was going to say the Mamut as I was sat on it at a friends and didn't realise it was Ikea.

Will go and try the wooden one tomorrow (will put it on my list....)

Do those chairs come in wood (they don't seem to be on the website)?

They are just what I want

I could paint in lots of colours or leave natural (or leave the seat natural & paint the back & legs)

No Katymac - the wood ones I meant were the Minnen ones you mentioned. Those Gulliver chairs just come on white, but had a matching table.

So do I buy 30 white ones that match or 15 white and 15 wood?

Hmm - only downside is that they don't stack

what tables are you using?

Well I like the gullivar ones - but I'd need to cluster 4 together

I'm not sure if they are a cheap option (if you see what I mean) - it might be cheaper to buy a bigger table and cutthe legs

like this

I have 3 chairs round my gulliver table - do you want a picture?

I have 3 of these - I think they are the same/similar

yes they are - sorry I couldn't help more - good luck - hope you get what you want

S'Ok - you have been great

I now know I can get the chairs separately (which is important)

I'm well on the way

Katymac - I sat on your chairs as I promised and I think they were fine to be honest. Felt sturdy under my weight and I think I weigh a little bit more than a pre-schooler .

Aww thank you - that was really kind of you

So now I need a van to buy 30 of them ()

Well I might buy them 10 at a time

i have 1, katy (I actually have 1 of pretty much ALL the wooden ikea kids chairs )

It is very sturdy IMO, yes. It also doesn't seem to stain.

I don't like the plasticy ones, they don't look sturdy.

Thanks - that's what I thought

I like Ikea...I know lots of people don't (mind you I don't trust my judgement i like Tescos too)
