IKEA Ingolf chair version, white

Hello,

a week ago I bought 3 white Ingolf chairs and this week the fourth one. I was already surprised by the lighter cardboard of the packaging with the last one.

And indeed, the chair was changed in detail:

All non-visible parts are no longer painted (for example, the underside of the seat and the insides of the side rails), before it was completely white.
The crescent-shaped washers are no longer made of milky plastic but of metal.
The paint layer seems to be thinner, all cracks and fitting inaccuracies (especially at the backrest cross) are no longer covered with paint but visible (does not look very nice).
The shade is slightly different!!! This chair actually has a different shade of white (could that be related to the suspected thinner paint layer?).

What should I do? Return the Ingolf chair and ask for an old version? How does it work with already assembled furniture? Can you exchange the Ingolf chairs?

Ikea only offers exchanges outside of warranty cases explicitly for original packaged (!) goods.

Furthermore, it might be difficult for you to get an "old" model.
I understand your frustration, but once a supplier has changed its production, even IKEA can no longer get "old" product versions.
It's a crappy comparison, but you can't order a new Golf III from VW anymore either, even if it might be better for you for various reasons.

Yes, I understand. I'm just annoyed that I went for this bright box, because there were also a few dented boxes with dark cardboard lying around... frustrating. Of course, I hadn't expected that.
