I bought an Ikea Millberget recently and it's just not as comfortable as I thought it was when I was trying it out (go figure). I'm getting discomfort in either my lower thighs or my calves no matter how I adjust it. I'm 6'1 and my desk rises 28 inches, pressed flat against the wall, so maybe it has to do with one of those factors and not the chair itself? I'm wondering if I should take the chair back, or maybe mess with desk risers, or something.
Any advice for a tall g/u/rl?

Which part of the chair isn't comfortable?

>>362093 Mostly the cushion under my thighs, towards the edge of the seating. That's sorta breaking in after owning the chair for a little over a week, but it could feel better I think.
It's mostly the dead/falling-asleep feeling in my calves or thighs right now, which I can't say others chairs have caused, and I can't figure out the difference.

>>362096 Doesn't that mean the seat isn't large enough for you? Ideally, the space between the back of your knees and edge of the seat should be able to fit in 2 or 3 fingers.
I also think your desk is too short for your height.

>>362099 I was thinking that too. I can fit three-four fingers between the space, and I don't think the actual shape of the cushion is really that great.
I'll mess with desk raisers in the meanwhile too then.

Get one of those balance ball to sit on instead. It's much better for you. Also they're pretty cheap.
