Awesome chair, but be sure you like kneeling chairs before you buy
In my search for the most comfortable chair for myself, this was the one I decided upon after a long time of research. It works fantastically for me.That being said, kneeling chairs are not for everyone. Even for myself, sitting in a kneeling chair for long periods of time took some getting used to. Before I made this purchase, I had my work purchase me a smaller cheaper kneeling chair for use in the office. After using that for awhile, I knew it was time to make the purchase and use this at home.The backrest is sorta funny. If you're sitting in a kneeling chair the way its meant to be sat in (stop slouching, chump!), you shouldn't be using it. But sometimes when I'm reading, or doing less intense things on the computer (I'm on the computer a lot between work, school, and hobbies... Anywhere from 10-14+ hours a day) I will find myself not sitting up properly. Although, my first kneeling chair (and most of the ones you will find) do not have a backrest since it usually defeats the purpose.I personally like having the option of slouching a little while I'm reading, or leaning back when I'm working with a tablet or some other device than the computer. But if you sit in this chair and try to use the backrest all the time, you're gonna have a bad time.If your reasoning for buying this kneeling chair over any other is that it has a backrest.... Stop. Do some research into chair ergonomics, and decide what you want to try.

Lifesaver for those with a bad back
We all need a good desk chair, and this one fit the need very well.The good - it is solid. The base is so dang sturdy, there's no way it will get a dent. There are cars that have door panels thinner than the metal base here, no kidding.The great - it does force me to sit upright. Three months now and I have changed my posture habits. Prior to this purchase I had to go to the chiropractor twice a week for a couple of months. I knew it was my lousy office chair that was destroying my already bad back. Last year I got a new job that keeps me at a desk full time, something that my body just wasn't used to. And the old chair wasn't up to the task of me sitting eight to ten hours a day. I'm not large - 5'6', 125 lbs, so sitting for lengths of time usually is okay, if the chair is suited for the task. This one IS suited to it.The not so good - a vital bolt was missing, rendering the chair useless until a replacement bolt was shipped. A simple call to the customer service number, a quick explanation, and about four days later a small package arrived that contained the entire assembly pieces - all the bolts, caps, etc. It was overkill, but okay, I appreciated the response and was satisfied.The also not so good - the fabric on the kneeler pad bunches down. I know how to fix this, and it is a pity that the designers didn't do it themselves. The friction of kneeling on it all day forces the fabric down. Just like on any decent sofa or chair, there always is a second underlayer of fabric that allows the top layer to slide ever-so-slightly. This clearly does not have it. Because of the memory foam, the fabric actually catches itself on the foam and essentially gets stuck there. I can lift it up and move it back. Or, better, when the urge so moves me, I will remove the kneeling pad, dis-assemble it, put a layer of cloth under it, and then re-assemble it. Done.The really NOT good - the chair was not level, it leans to one side. I didn't quite notice it at first, maybe the first day or two, but then I was noticing a dull ache in my back that I knew was not from sitting straight up. I looked at the chair, and yep, it was leaning - and significantly so. However, my darling hubby is a mad genius of sorts, and took a stray piece of metal that was about the diameter of a small Post-It note and the thickness of a nickel, and shimmed it up under the base post on one side. Problem solved. It was leaning before, now it is upright. That little bit made all the difference. I think my chair was made on a Friday or a Monday and lacked the quality control that it should have had!Last, no, this chair is not for everyone, but it is a lifesaver for me. I have a terrible back. Three fractured vertebrae over twenty years ago on top of minor scoliosis and now arthritis in my spine has made my back really a mess. Finding a chair that will allow me to sit for hours and do my job was critical. And now I have to only visit the chiropractor once every six weeks or so instead of twice weekly. THAT makes this chair worth every single penny. But, it will take work to learn how to sit on this kind of chair!!! If you are a person who always slouches, forget it. You'll never get the benefit of this chair and you'll think this is terrible. I was willing to invest in my core, sit straight and work at it, and now I do love this chair. (Despite the missing bolt and the leaning to one side!)I almost never use the backrest. Once in a rare while I will lean back when I am taking a quick think break or something, but other than that, the back rest doesn't serve much purpose. However, it is nice to have from time to time - but leaning back to it is a rather awkward position.

This chair is nice for a few hours at a time
Even after having it for months, I still have to switch between this chair and a regular desk chair. As you will see in other people's reviews, the seat back is way too far back which forces you to hold your torso completely straight and with no assist from the chair. This chair is nice for a few hours at a time. It really helps my body to switch back and forth between the two styles of chairs. As others have said, your shins will hurt from this chair. The padding is good, but the padding covers/fabric easily stretch and become a little loose (again, only a few months of use). Overall, a good chair, but prob wouldn't have purchased for that much ($500) if I had gotten to try it first because you really still need a regular desk chair. Kind of a hassle to get in and out of.

still looking for a new kneeling chair
I have used this kneeling chair for a couple of days but it is not an optimal replacement for my existing backless one which was manufactured by Izzy Design who is no longer in business. I will keep the Izzy chair and use it at another office I have used a kneeling chair continuously since 1985 and am an experienced user who needs to have a chair on a swivel mount to easily see six-eight computer monitors.I have three simple issues. 1. the vertical height of the knee pad is too low relative to the swivel mount so my size 13 feet (I know my feets too big) need to be positioned just so and once positioned I have limited swivel-ability. 2. the front seat is slanted too dramatically and is not adjustable so once I move my feet to allow more swivel-ability i basically feel i am slipping off the chair. if I move a foot to the floor to get optimal swivel-ability the slipping off feeling gets worse. 3. the Knee rest needs to be wider (not deeper) maybe by 4 inches as my knees feel like they could slip off one side or another if I am not careful I don't have these problems with the 12 year old Izzy Chair but it is looking worn.If there is a better alternative out there I'd be happy to purchase and would keep this one too.

If you're over 5:10ft avoid it
Over the years I've had a number of kneeling chairs (Classic wooden ones), most worked well. This time I thought I'd trade up and try a better version with a back rest. So as far as this one goes it was easy to assemble and looks comfortable with a good build quality.However if you're OVER 5:10 FOOT (I'm 6:1) I'd avoid this chair as it's not designed for you. It could work if the knee rest was moveable as it's fixed position is putting a lot of strain on my lower legs and not my knees. Alternatively if the seat could move back this would also help rectify it the problem. Sadly neither is possible so it's a waste of £140 and it's destined for Graig's list.

Good Quality, and great relief from my sore back
I bought this as I was struggling with sitting for any kind of a period whilst working from home COVID19). This gave immediate relieve to my sore back, and I was able to sit for far longer periods without much discomfort when standing up. It does get a bit uncomfortable on your shins, but nothing compared to the pain I was in using a normal chair. You can mitigate against the shin discomfort by alternating your legs against the shin pad. Works for me!!

Poor quality of pads - too expensive for what it you're getting
Have been using the chair for a month now and the pads are all compressed and there is no 'padding' left. I am very disappointed with the quality - this is not a cheap chair and I had expected better. I cannot find a way to attempt to return the item but will continue trying.

Back support makes difference
I spend most of the day in front of computer and have tried a couple of kneeling chairs before, and was disappointed as the 'proper posture' claim is a bit of stretch. Now, with this one it's different - the back support really makes a huge difference. Very pleased with this chair so far.

Helped improve my posture
Really pleased with this product. I brought it when I started working form home to ease back pain. It has helped me to improve my posture when seated at a desk all day. It was easy to put together and I was pleasantly surprised at how robust it feels given the cost of the product. I have found that the cushions have started to compress a little (after a couple of months of use), but I'm still finding it comfortable to use.

Good chair
I had a very painful knee and needed to apply pressure... this did the trick! Not comfy for all day use so keep a 2nd chair handy.

The kneeling cushions are not well designed. When sitting ...
The kneeling cushions are not well designed. When sitting the knees slide down the cushion since the angle is not correct. Also, if the material were compressible so that the knees created a 'well' to avoid sliding this would increase the comfort level and allow longer periods of sitting without pain.

articolo ben fatto ma..
La sedia è molto ben costruita unico neo e il tessuto del sedile per me troppo "scivoloso". Per stare sediti correttamente bisogna caricare troppo il peso sulle ginocchia e ovviamente non voglio evitare il mal di schiena per farmi gonfiare le gionocchia e le gambe. Forse sarebbe stato sufficiente potewr regolare un poco l'inclinazione del sedile, che sarà senz'altro quella dell'angolo più adatto per la schiena ma rimane difficile da tenere restando rilassati per il problema di cui ho parlato prima. Io vedrò di cambiare il tessuto.

Acaba cansando
Los cojines son mullidos, como positivo. Pero creo que no está bien diseñada la silla, ya que acabas apoyando las canillas y con demasiado peso, ya que o el asiento está demasiado reclinado o el apoyo para las piernas está demasiado bajo...Con todo esto, yo por lo menos acabo con los pies encogidos hacia atrás en medio de las patas de las ruedas y destrozando la parte superior de los zapatos. Estás más de rodillas que sentado... y eso lleva a que estés echado hacia delante en lugar de recto de espaldas.

Cumple su función de aliviar la espalda al 500%
tengo problemas de espalda baja, y varias lumbalgias, una de las cosas que peor llevo es estar sentado en una silla a 90 grados, o sea, todas, asi que esta silla la compré a la desesperada recomendada por mi fisioterapeuta, UN ACIERTO AL 100%!!!! es cierto que a las horas se cargan las pantorrillas, pero olvidate de los problemas de espalda

De las mejores que hay en el mercado en mi opinión
Dentro de lo que cabe a mi me va bien, se nota mejoría en la postura. Ademas esta silla en concreto es fuerte y estable, y el hecho de contar con un respaldo y ruedas la hacen mas agradable. Pero cuidado, el montaje es un poco lioso y el apoyo de las rodillas no se puede regular, ademas al principio es dificil sentarse y se empieza a acumular dolor en las tibias, pero con el tiempo se vuelve menos doloroso y tu espalda alta te lo agradeze

Bien diseñada e ideal para entorno de empresa.
Cumple perfectamente con la función de liberar la espalda y el coxis con un diseño que passa desapercibido en una oficina (como es este caso). Comparada con las de este tipo que son de diseño más convencional (y que regulan la altura), cuando le regulas la altura sube a la vez el asiento y el soporte. En las otras sube sólo el asiento, de manera que también se acentúa la inclinación y por tanto el apoyo en las rodillas. Creo que esto es una ventaja pero le resta adaptabilidad al usuario. Por lo demás, buena calidad, estable y robusta.

NO COMPRAR
no compréis esta silla , llevo utilizando la 4 meses, y la verdad es que el relleno se chafa bastante rápido, yo le he tenido que añadir un trozo de porespan dentro del relleno de las rodillas,y para colmo ahora ha empezado a bajarse sola.El cilindro hidráulico falla se baja sólo,y sólo llevo 4 meses utilizando la.Y después de cuatro meses, no hay manera e cambiarla o que te den alguna garantía,ni el vendedor ni amazon.Una vergüenza
