SLEEKFORM Austin Ergonomic Kneeling Chair for Improved Posture and Comfort

Olivia P: i really like this chair, my only notes to potential buyers are that 1. it does take some time, especially on your shins, to get used to. i've had the chair for about a month now, and i'm still not completely used to it and change my position really frequently (like one or both feet on the floor, etc.) – to be fair, i am not at my desk all day or every day, so if you plan to use this chair for a 9-5 type of situation, you may get used to it a lot faster. my shins also hurt a lot less and after way longer on the chair compared to the first few days i had it. 2. i am 5'8'' with a 27 inch desk, and me and the chair fit great at my desk BUT – and this isn't the chair's fault, just something to keep in mind – my laptop is so much lower down from me now compared to my old chair/desk posture, it's a strain on my neck and eyes to look down at it. you may want to consider something to raise your laptop/monitor up if you think this will bother you. 3. the instructions were somewhat vague/contradictory at points, but nothing too hard to figure out yourself (basically something was on the wrong side of a piece OR the instructions were wrong, and it was confusing me for 20 minutes until...

David Lewis: I bought one of these a few weeks ago, and liked it so much I ordered a second one, all black this time. Well, I don't know what happened in between, or if I was just lucky the first time, but setup was way harder the second time -mostly because, for one of the knee pads, the bolt socket was not quite in front of where the bolt landed. I ended up being able to move it enough, but at that price, I would expect things to fit properly. Moreover, the two knee pads are not quite the same density, so I tend to slant on one side. Still love the idea and the look, though

Kristen Laura: Normal desk chairs cause my hips to ache really bad, so this has been a great alternative and they don't hurt nearly as much. However, the cushioning on the knees doesn't last long. I've had this chair since Christmas 2019 and i use it 5 days a week for 6-8hrs a day, so only 9 months now. The cushioning on the knees has flattened and i only weigh 145lbs. I've noticed lately that my knees have been hurting and going numb, and i have to switch positions. I couldn't understand why until i noticed the foam is quite compressed. Wish they used a more long lasting dense foam....especially for the price. Going to have to use pillows now.

Vic: TLDR: Amazing quality chair, super comfortable/functional/looks great! Incredible company, so helpful/friendly/informative/accommodating/passionate (plus it's a women-led! Support a girl boss!). Out of all the ergonomic chair options I can't recommend this one enough!!!

I could go on forever about all the things I love about this chair & my experience buying it! I knew I wanted a more ergonomic chair and did a LOT of research before deciding this was the best option so save yourself the time & take my word for it. The things that set it apart for me were:
1. Price - it's a perfect middle ground, anything cheaper & you'll sacrifice quality, anything more expensive & you're probably getting something way overpriced.
2. Quality - if you compare it's specs to others like it, it is just built better. Thicker cushions & a sturdier frame that I know will last. Incredibly comfortable.
3. Looks - not the most important factor of course but I would definitely prefer my furniture to look nice! The chair looks great! I love the high quality fabric & wood, plus it can easily be tucked away under my desk when not in use giving me some extra space.

JLo: I've had the Sleekform Austin for about a month now, and it has exceeded my expectations. It's a very comfortable and versatile chair, and has been a game changer for daily office work. The design is stable, it rocks well, and the plywood has a nice flex to it. The cushions are comfortable and broke in well over the first two weeks.

The chair was easily assembled in approx. 15-20 mins. The instructions and labels were clear, and all parts were included. I used an impact driver during assembly, but don't recommend it; the bolts have soft heads, and I stripped a couple in the process. The supplied hex tool is all you need. Nothing has required retightening after a month of hard rocking.

I originally tried to order straight from the company because I appreciated their designs, but they couldn't ship to me in Canada. A representative got in touch with me right away to direct me to their Amazon store for the solution, and she was extremely helpful and courteous.

I kept my conventional office chair in case I wanted to switch it up from time to time, but I haven't used it since. To be honest, my lower back aches just to look at it. Thanks again to the Sleekform crew...

Elizabeth: So happy with the Sleekform Ergonomic Kneeling Chair. I have been looking for a new chair for my home office that would be more comfortable for sitting at the computer for many hours. I needed a chair that would help with my posture and keep me from slouching so much. In my search for a new chair, I came across the Sleekform Ergonomic Kneeling Chair. This chair is exactly what I was looking for in an office chair. The design of the chair helps me to stay mindful of my posture and helps me correct it by being able to easily adjust how I am sitting. If I am putting too much pressure on one part of my body, I can easily change positions and still maintain better posture while sitting for long hours. The rocking motion is a great way to stay active while sitting and for me has a calming effect. It is my favorite part of the chair! The chair also works well for people of different heights. I am 5’8” and my son is over 6ft tall. He is all legs and he is able to sit in the chair very comfortably and he really likes the rocking motion too.
The chair is well designed and sturdy. It comes unassembled, but is packaged very well and all the parts are labeled clearly - I really...

M. Durkin: I normally opt for the most expensive product in a given category with the assumption that it is made from different materials and ultimately will have better quality. When shopping for this chair, I found a much more expensive brand, nearly three times the [rice of this, that I considered. I could not help but think it was way over-priced for what it was. I decided to step down a bit in price and I am so grateful that I did.

The chair was extremely well packaged and each part was labeled, making it easy to assemble. The only complaint I would have is that it was somewhat unclear which direction the cross supports should be facing and the diagram was wrong. That said, it's pretty obvious when you look at the cross pieces that they are longer toward the kneeling end than the seat end. For that to work, the cross members are angled slightly. By looking at them, or holding them upright on a flat surface, you can see that they lean one direction or the other (depending upon which way you have it facing. Obviously, given what I mentioned earlier about the kneeling pad end being further apart than the seat end, the angle should point downward toward the seat to make that...
