Ergonomic Kneeling Chair: Adjustable Stool for Home and Office Comfort

ShmeeShmee: I found these types of chairs comfortable and helpful for posture years ago, so I got one to help improve my posture, but I'm currently overweight, and I'm finding that sitting in this chair eventually hurts my shins. So, I have my 13 year old using it, and he finds it comfortable and it absolutely helps him improve his posture, without having to think about it (his sitting posture is normally awful). So, since it's great for my 13 year old (and for me, once I lose weight), it's definitely worth the price I paid (there was a $20 coupon when I bought it, so I paid $80). The pads are thick and comfortable, and they do crush a bit in use, but so far recover when you get off the chair. It was also easy to put together. I'm taking a star off because 2 of the 4 chair casters had their locks broken off, out of the box, and for my shin pain issue. Overall, the chair is comfortable and great for posture, for the price.

TaylorTaylor: I really like this chair. Assembly was easy enough, about 20 minutes, and the adjustment is simple (I went with non-hydraulic so it is just a screw mechanism, very easy to adjust). The pads are very comfortable and squishy yet supportive. The first day or two I used it, I had a hard time finding the right position. But I found the sweet spot for the level and realized that it is CRUCIAL to keep the balls/toes of your feet on the floor. Otherwise it puts way too much pressure on the knees and shins and is quite painful. That being said, keeping your knees far apart and toes on the floor underneath your glutes takes tension off the knees and puts it back under the hips/glutes. You can slide your legs further to rest more on your shins, and alternate as one starts to get a bit sore. Only lasts a day or two though.
Pros:
-Great for posture
-Easier on the hip flexors than regular chair (hips are open further than 90 degrees instead of less than!)
-SO easy to get in and out of, no more pushing out a chair every two seconds at my table/desk. I just flip my leg over the top and sit my butt down, I don't even move the chair much.
-Wheels slide really nicely on the hardwood...

Hokie115Hokie115: Very strange that the first one I received looked like all factory packaging and was never opened, but when I pulled out the pads to assemble (out of the factory sealed wrapper), they were caked in mud and had what appeared to be knife looking cuts in the material. Obviously this part was returned to the factory, repackaged into my kit, and sold as new- the rest of the parts looked factory new. Returned. Amazon sent replacement fast. No issues with new box, again looks like came just from the factory, same sealed packaging, no mud this time. Assembly took half an hour, the included instructions were easy to follow, and extra hardware is included that is not used as other reviews have written. The only shady part was which of the three holes to use in the one step where you marry the two halves of the seat (there are 3). I went with the farthest one forward- I assume it may have to due with your size if you perhaps are larger and need more of a gap between the knee pad and the seat pad? I am a larger guy, 6"1 200+ pounds, and this setting seemed to work just fine for me. Chair seems sturdy and well built- not many parts to it at all. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the...

Nik88: This is a good product. It could be better though. The instructions are not the best (even though there are very few steps). Not all of the pieces in my box were labled so some of it I had to just figure out on my own. It certainly helps force you into better posture, but you can still cheat when you find yourself being lazy (just have the will power to recognize it and engage that core). If I were to redesign this there are two things I would do (the main reasons I didn't give this a 5 star rating). 1. instead of having to adjust the two bars by removing the bolt I would want a spring tensioned pin so you do not need to remove the bolt at all, and the rear hight adjustment could be easier/more smooth (like on a barbers stool or something like that, instead of bolt). 2. AND MOST IMPORANT, more cushioning in the rear. I am only 165 lbs (mostly muscle not fat) but when I sit on this my rear goes clear through the cushioning and I am sitting on the wood beneath. This causes some pain in the tailbone region and is rather unpleasant. Higher quality foam with maybe a layer of open cell foam before the wood pannel could rectify this. I will be making some kind of cushion to go on it to...
