Today we’ll be doing an IKEA Harry dining chair review, covering the basics and also its differences in comparison to the IKEA Henriksdal. When it comes to IKEA dining chairs, we consider the IKEA Harry a sibling of the IKEA Henriksdal because they both look so alike.
Apart from their measurements, these dining chairs have almost no disparity when you look at them. Take a look at the image below to see how they differ from each other:
Although they look identical, one thing users have noted when comparing both dining chairs is that the Harry is actually smaller than the Henriksdal.
Let’s say you live in a smaller space and you have a rectangular dining table that measures 75cm in width and 90cm in length. With the Henriksdal, you could only fit a dining chair set of 4 around the table. However, with the Harry chairs, you could fit a dining chair set of 6 around the table (despite it being a little tight). The same goes for round dining tables – you can definitely fit more Harry chairs compared to Henriksdal.
If you love hosting and entertaining, the IKEA Harry chairs are a great way to accommodate more people around your dining table.
In terms of comfort, the Harry chair is almost identical to the Henriksdal chair. Although the seat space is definitely smaller, it’s still comfortable enough with a medium-firm seat cushion. The solid back support allows you to sit up straight for hours, so there shouldn’t be complaints about back discomfort after sitting on it for some time.
Rating: 7/10
For a price of USD60, this chair is a pretty good catch. At the time of writing, the Harry chair is available in IKEA US and IKEA Germany, but not in IKEA Britain. You might also want to check with your IKEA local store for stock availability.
Do you own a Harry with the same old dining chair slipcover which has been used for years? Maybe it’s time to switch it up as part of a party decoration or you could even change according to the seasons. If you can’t decide on which fabric for your IKEA Harry dining chair, try getting some Comfort Works fabric sample for free first. You will surely find a cover that you like for your Harry dining chairs.
