Kneeling Chair Ergonomic for Office, Adjustable Stool for Home and Office - Improve Your Posture with an Angled Seat - Thick Moulded Foam Cushions - Brake and Smooth Gliding Casters

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 floor-Cushions are comfortable yet supportive.Cons:-Takes a day or two to get used to the pressure on knees and shins-Gotta stay mindful of that posture (but isn't that the point?)-Can't sit differently if you start to get tired (but I just use a different chair for a bit if needed)Honestly this is a GREAT chair and has been so helpful on my lower back. I was having a lot of back pain from sitting so much and had to stop using an exercise ball for reasons. A few days with this chair and my back no longer hurts. The knee/shin pain is very short lived and goes away once you find the right position! Not to mention the extra workout you are getting in your abs, glutes, and quads! You'll feel it for a day or two but then it's gone.

Like many others, I have been working from home. I turned the guest room in my home to my office but found I was sore from being hunched over looking at my computer screen. I had the same problem at my office but there were many distraction there to get me out of my chair. I had read about these chairs years ago and I have now used this one for a week. As other reviewers mentioned, it is a new way to sit and you will need to work up the endurance. My shins were uncomfortable after a half hour the first day I used it. Now after a week, i can sit for over an hour. I think I will be fine in a month. Most important, my shoulders and neck are no longer out of posture.The chair is very basic, it does not win any awards for aesthetics, but is made of steel tubing so it should last a while. Fairly easy to put together. Wheels work well, that is important since I have two computers I need to move between during my work day.

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 cover material, its not leather, but it is soft, not stiff, feels quality. The pad firmness is just right for my taste. After adjusting the height with the screw turn adjuster, I can manage to sit in this for a few hours at a time- until my back muscles build up I am sure. I purchased due to sitting in front of the computer 12+ hours a day working from home- found my favorite wooden chair was actually cutting of the circulation to my legs I would sit in it for so long until my feet were getting numb. This chair changes that posture completely and shifts the weight of how you sit differently. I actually had a wooden version of this kind of chair many years ago that I loved and was surprised to see them now over $300 for that same chair. This chair does the same thing, looks great, and way better value. Will end up purchasing an additional one for the living room computer desk I like it so much.

UPDATE: One of the wheel broke after just two months of use. I am 175 pounds which is well under the weight limit. Unfortunately I can no longer get a replacement from Amazon so I'm hoping the manufacturer will be able to provide a replacement wheel.INITIAL REVIEW: This chair is very nice. Extremely strong and comfortable. The settings (which are easy to change) enable me to adjust the angle and height exactly to my needs so it should work well for a variety of body types. The seat and knee cushions are thick and comfortable. Assembly was quite easy and the parts fit precisely.
