Sleekform Kneeling Posture Chair | Ergonomic Office Desk Knee Stool Relieving Back & Neck Pain | Computer Seat, Wheels & Adjustable Height | Backless Meditation Seat | 4" Ergo Mesh Cushions

I wasn't going to leave a review, because - like most people - I pretty much only leave reviews for things that are godawful (as warnings to the next victim). But Kaye from Sleekform got in touch and asked me to share my thoughts, whatever they may be. So I will. I've used a few kneeling chairs back at my office when they were "the thing" all the execs were getting [now it's standing desks]. I noticed a pretty significant improvement in my posture that I could pretty much /only/ get from these chairs, so after a few more years of slouching, I did some research and got this one. I bought it on the basis of the pad thickness, and it doesn't disappoint: the pads are really, REALLY thick. And firm. This will provide the right amount of resistant for my shins, without bruising them (and, while I expect them to become softer over time, the material looks pretty durable). All the pieces came in the box, on time, and assembly was rather straightforward. The wheels are hugely important - a lot of kneeling chairs don't have them, and as your feet aren't going to be on the floor, the wheels allow you to reposition simply by pulling against a table slightly. Overall it's a solid, durable chair with good cushions at a great price that does precisely what it sets out to do.

This product does indeed improve posture and stress on your back. I did see improvement in that area. Much less strain on my neck whilst having to do a lot of writing and using my computer. However, after sitting in this chair for a while, including periodic breaks, I found my buttocks would be in great pain. The main sitting pad is large and provides enough area to cover even the largest of butts. I found it to be a little rough for my needs. The padding is just too stiff for this chair to be used as a main seat. Therefore I found myself switching back and fourth between the kneeling chair and my old standard upright chair I was hoping to replace. I clock in at 6'4, 180 IB, fairly athletic build. While I'd like to blame my weight for the problem, I simply don't think that is the case. Overall this chair almost hits the mark but improvements with the seating pad would make a world of difference. If you find yourself needing seating for a few minutes, this is the chair for you. If you're looking to replace your office chair, I'd have to recommend taking into consideration the duration you'd find yourself having to be seated. Edit; Adding a star for excellent customer service! Sleekform did everything in their power to satisfy me with my purchase and I am very impressed with their team.To reiterate, I was happy with the quality of the seat and it's improvement upon my posture. I was not happy with the firmness of the seating pad itself. This might not affect everyone but If you're in a setting where seating is needed sporadically, this is a fine quality chair. Otherwise you may run into issue.

I used to have once before similar chair but it didn't feel as comfortable to sit on right out of the box, as the cushions were much thinner. These are much thicker and provide more support. Some people in reviews mentioned struggling assembling it but I didn't have the experience at all. Very easy to assemble and comfortable to use. Have been looking for one of these for some time because I tend to slouch and as a developer, I spend quite a bit of time at a computer. I like being able to adjust the height of the seat depending on the desk I am using it with. In addition, I have to mention stellar customer support from Sleekform, as my initial item arrived with a missing wheel and when I contacted them with hopes they could send me the missing wheel, they've expedite shipped me a brand new one, as they were out of spare wheels. Talk about amazing customer service!

I happen to own this chair and the Flash Furniture one they compare themselves to in the "Competition" photo Flash Furniture WL-SB-210-GG Mobile Wooden Ergonomic Kneeling Chair in Black Fabric . This one is much better quality but has some downside. Here are the pros and cons when compared to the Flash Furniture chair. Pros: Thicker cushion, much more comfortable on the knees Metal frame, much more sturdy Thicker and more durable fabric (The competition chair fabric seams don't hold together) Good quality Cons: The thick cushion makes it sit a little tall at a desk. The thick cushion combined with the small frame makes the chair unsuitable when set to higher heights (like a counter or bar). My knees stuck out too far off the cushion to be usable. The seat cushion isn't angled enough, so more of a sitting posture than I expect a kneeling chair to have. Overall, this might be okay if you have a small frame (I'm 6'3"). I ended up happy with this chair by drilling a new hole through the knee cushion bar to move the pivot point where it connects to the seat cushion bar, in effect pushing the knee cushion forward. This also improved the seat angle and raised the seat at high height settings. Now I think the chair is great, but it was a bit of work to get there! The only side effect was that the chair isn't as balanced in the forward direction.

Administriva first. The shipment arrived as expected -- all parts were in the box -- there's a video to link to that goes through steps to put it together. I'm a clutz and usually would put at least one part in backwards. Either because of the design or having watched the video, it was done right the first time. Kudos! Now for its use. I've had it in place for about a week and am still getting used to it. I didn't have any back pain but my wife said I slouched over my home-office computer. I see how this would help with that and am still working on the best place to sit on the cushion to keep weight off my shins. After a while, my legs hurt from the unexpected pressure. This seems to be normal as the video mentioned something about switching between the old and new chairs until fully used to the new. It looks good, was easy to put together, works well, and had a bunch of padding on both the leg support and seat. Price is right. I recommend it.

This chair does promote a healthy back posture, the one and only PRO about this product in my opinion, but it has some major flaws: 1) It focuses all the pressure on your butt and your shins. My shins started hurting within minutes of sitting on this thing, and my butt within 30 min. The cushions are too firm. 2) As far as adjustment is concerned its not very flexible. The chair adjusts either down/back, or up/forward. This means for a tall guy like myself (I'm six foot) when the seat is at the eight height my knees are hanging outside the pad in mid air. 3) The other major con is there's no foot or ankle rest, so your feet and ankles are also just hanging in mid air.

So far the chair is pretty good. It has one drawback that bothers me, and that the fabric is rather rough. The fabric can scratch your knees fairly hard. They also have a leather version, but I don't need perpetual sweaty knees. Ideally the fabric should simply be a type of felt. Something soft on the skin. But it is what it is. There are no cushion covers I can find... but perhaps over time the fabric will soften. Its has only been a few days. Aside from the fabric choice the chair itself is pretty rock solid. Assembly was simple and it does quite a bit to help posture. I sit in front of my computer for most of the day, so this is a great.

Unfortunately, within 2 minutes this chair begins KILLING my shin bones. The lower cushion doesn't contact my knees as shown in the product photos. Instead, it hits me mid-to-lower shin area... and for some reason this is extremely painful. If my knees were on the cushion (like in the product photos), it would be great, but that's just not the case. Really disappointed. For the past 20+ years I've been sitting for 10+ hours a day. I've developed terrible back and leg pain, and was hoping this was my answer. All this does is add excruciating shin pain to the whole equation. Update: Downgraded to 1-star (from 2) because today I threw the chair away. I tried everything I could to make it comfortable (bolstering different areas with pillows and whatnot) and the think just killed my shins, didn't help my back/posture, etc. Absolutely failed to live up to its description. I'm sure that if I contacted the company they might've allowed a return, but trying to repack and return it is more time/hassle than I can handle right now. It's not about the money anyway. This product absolutely failed, and no refund will change that.
