Reflekter Meditation Chair with Brocade Cushion (Black, Large for Meditator Above 6’00” in Height)

The wood base is cheap wood that's painted to look like a more expensive wood, so it's got a "mahogany" stain. Pro: This makes the bench pretty light weight and portable and yet it still seems sturdy. Con: It looks cheap and the fabric on the top doesn't seem like it will hold up well from repeated sits. My friend thinks this could be a good thing because it will look shabby chic and well-worn as I settle into it, but I'd rather it wear in over lots of time, not immediately. Other than that, it's a nice sit and attractive from a distance. Not that that has anything to do with meditating, but it does sit in the corner of my living room. I have long legs, about a 36-inch inseam, so I ordered the largest bench. It's comfy. I would recommend it, but just know what you're getting.

I love the comfort and sturdiness of the chair and use it every day. The seat is wide enough for me to have my knees far apart or close together. The curved post is perfect for allowing me to adjust my position easily. My only complaint is that the fabric is already starting to fray around the edges and I don't have an easy way to clean the fabric because it's not removable. Otherwise... perfection!

UPDATE - Cost over $37 to ship it back by the cheapest means possible. Also to clarify: the reason it causes shoulder pain is that sitting this way you have no lap, so nowhere to rest your arms. That may not sound like a big deal, but it is when you're sitting for any length of time. I'm back to using a folded blanket. Having wasted all this money I wish I had just stayed with the blanket method in the first place.ORIGINAL REVIEW - Very uncomfortable, am returning it. The price of $90 is RIDICULOUS for what this is. Materials and labor probably cost them $15 or less to make each one, and then they jack up the price to $90(!). Caused shoulder pain for me because of the odd angle it puts you in. A regrettable purchase and now I'm stuck eating the cost of shipping for purchase plus shipping to return. Total waste.

So the white one isn't cream as it appears on the site. It's bright, shockingly bright, white with reflective silver thread all over. It's also a little shorter than I would've liked and the stain job on the wood underneath is amateurish at best. For the money I paid, I am beyond disappointed. I could've made this in arts and crafts in the 5th grade.

Nice piece but can't figure out how to sit on it while meditating?????

Excellent, well-made, very comfortable. It is just what I needed. Keeps be straight and alert without strain.

I'm 6'4" and fairly stiff in the hip and legs. This chair is perfect for me - I'm no longer focusing on being uncomfortable or having a leg fall asleep. On top of being comfortable, it encourages proper sitting posture. Very happy with purchase!

Highly recommend this product. I have problems meditating in the standard lotus position as I can't cross my legs for long amounts of time comfortably. This easily supports my 220 pounds of body weight and keeps pressure off of my calves and feet.
