Ergonomic Kneeling Chair Home Office Chairs Thick Cushion Pad Flexible Seating Rolling Adjustable Work Desk Stool Improve Posture Now & Neck Pain - Comfortable Knees and Straight Back

Before purchasing this chair, I'd done a fair amount of research on the various types of kneeling chairs (i.e. rocking kneeling chairs, wooden-framed kneeling chairs, etc.) and I'd decided to go with this one because of its steel frame and the fact it looked a lot more stable than other chairs I'd come across. Overall, I really enjoy using this thing! It's comfortable, and honestly, sometimes I forget that I'm actually "seated." Seriously!That said, I experience ZERO back strain with this thing which is AWESOME. Assembly was fairly easy and the cushions are pretty plush. Also, the fact that this chair is adjustable is a big plus because I'm about 5'7" and the desk I use this with is about 30" high.I will say that the key to this chair is positioning yourself properly. You don't want to sit too low where all your weight is focused on your knees and shins, and you don't want your rear to be too high where you're sitting over the edge of the stool awkwardly. Once you've found your sweet spot, you're golden! And like any chair, it's a good idea to changes positions or get up sometimes.

I received my kneeling chair a day early - hooray! Assembly was pretty straight forward, took me about 20 minutes. Carried it upstairs (not too heavy) to try it out at my WFH setup. Honestly, I wasn't expecting too much, but I sit all day, and my back, neck and shoulders pay the price. It's worth a try, right?As I settled in, I found that a good bit of my posture issues went away immediately. I'm no longer slouching and hunched over my keyboard, but sitting upright! I know it won't cure my bad posture or completely eliminate neck pain, but it's a start!I have knee issues (both knees), but I'm not finding it to be an issue. I can put more weight on my shins than knees, and that seems to work for me. I'm going to have to get used to spending more than a couple of hours at a time on it, but that's ok!

My husband put the chair together for me and he did so quickly - I'm going to assume it was easy to put together otherwise he would have told me otherwise. As for sitting in it, it's very comfortable. However, I can see how people would complain about the time spent on their knees/shins. I don't have an issue with it, since those aren't my pain points, but it is a good reminder to stand up and move and get blood flowing all over. I have had 5 spine surgeries and having something I can sit on comfortably, I appreciate. I also have a standing desk, which is I guess counter-height for the average person (I'm petite at 5'1 so standing height for me may not be standing height for someone else.) I can raise the seat on this to reach the counter height desk. At the highest setting, keep in mind the seat part is more at a higher angle, meaning it's more 'behind' my behind, and not so much under my behind, but it's still comfortable. I hope how I am explaining that makes sense. Sorry I don't have photos to demonstrate this. The padding on the knees is nice, thick and soft yet firm.

EDIT: after 10 months, the cushion is low, and the bolts holding the seat and legs together snapped out.I decided on this chair based on price and thickness of the cushion. I am a budget shopper and there was another chair for $5 less but the cushion seemed much thinner. I have used this chair for 2 weeks and has helped with my back pain and front adductor pain immensely. I don't feel this hurts my knees or shins...I do feel pressure on it, but not painful.This was almost a 4 star review because of the following: I am 5' 3" and I have it on the tallest seat position. It barely makes it just right for my desk/monitor height. However if I want the knee pad to come up higher, the seat position gets lowered, so the other 2 position don't work. But at the end of the day, only one positions works for me and my height, therefore 5 stars if it happens to work for you. I did not put on the caster wheels since I am on carpet and never plan to wheel around.My chair had absolutely no smell, I had no problem putting together the chair myself with the tools included. Again I am a budget shopper would never spend so much on a chair, but had to because of health issues. Would purchase again and recommend to others. Too bad the price went up $20 since I purchased - makes it the same price as the others I was comparing it against.

So, I just got my chair and couldn't wait to put it together. I'm normally pretty challenged with diagram type directions, but the directions I received were straight forward and it took me about 15-20 minutes to put together myself. I accidentally used a medium length bolt for the frame that was needed for the seat. Once I figured this out, I made the changes, but note: when you lay out all the hardware, make sure you take note of the bolt sizes. Rookie mistake on my part, not the company :).So for the 20 minutes I've been sitting on this chair I love it. I did have to adjust the frame to the middle setting so I wasn't too far forward, and it's much more comfortable for me. I love the height adjustment feature too.I'll try to follow up in a few weeks to let you know if anything's changed but so far I LOVE THIS CHAIR!!!Update: I COMPLETELY THIS CHAIR!!! I've used it for more than a week, maybe two and my back pain is almost GONE!!!! Not saying it's a magic cure, but for my back pain it really has been AMAZING. I have issues sitting a long time due to a collapsing disc and this helps keep the pressure off my tailbone (I work in an office in front of a pc most days) and I'm now able to run and play with my 3.5 year old again and I've started to exercise again too. BEST MONEY I'VE EVER SPENT. I'm going to buy another one for use at my work office!!!
