I have an office job where I sit in front of a computer 80% of the time and I started having upper back & shoulder pain. I wanted to try a kneeling chair and chose this one because it was cheaper than the others, looked portable, and looked comfortable.

It is portable- it collapses so that it's only a few inches high. The design is kind of fun, too, and that's what makes it collapsible. But because of the design, the chair is somewhat limited. It has three notches available, but you can't adjust the seat or knee pad heights or tilts independently of each other. I don't know if that most kneeling chairs allow you to do that, but I think they should.

That said, you can probably use a little blanket or cushion to customize the chair fit. I'm 5'8", 120 lb and can comfortably use this chair on the top and middle settings. The seat is just big enough for me. If I were more than a few inches taller, my legs and knees would stick out front so much that the knee pad would probably not be comfortable at its current tilt and height.

Bottom line: the chair is acceptable but I might try a more adjustable one in the future. It did help with my back pain, so I'm satisfied. The quality of the chair parts was fine, seller was fine, shipping was fine, etc.

Also, there are things you'd have to get used to with any knee chair- having pressure on your shins or knees is one. Having your legs somewhat folded is another (my upper calves don't like being squished!). I will probably alternate between my regular chair and this one a few times every day.

All I can say is I love this chair.
Especially due to the design of the adjustable seat which not only adjusts the height of the seat but it adjusts the pitch / tilt of the seat which adjusts your posture (higher up and pitched forward = straighter more forward sitting & posture = proper body alignment = comfortable to me)... this was the main selling point for me over other chairs..
I have looked for quite some time for a chair with this feature.. it makes all the difference to me.. but I do prefer to sit straight up, unsupported by a back rest w/ my core engaged all day, if you do as well, this is a great chair!
P.S. - I own and use the Gaiam Balance Ball chair which is about $100 as well as having very well designed ergonmic executive chair that retails over $500.. compared to both I prefer this little kneeling chair and use it comfortably upwards of 5 hours daily.

This chair is great for me. Materials are decent quality. Seems like the padding in the seat might move or wear down after lots of sitting, but for me this isn't much of a problem because I can reupholster it. That is the only reason why I give it a 4. I love that it is adjustable. The price is great.

I will also say that I am a 105lb, 5'1" woman, and this chair fits me perfectly. My 190lb, 5'11" husband...not so much. The weight limit says 200lb, but my guess is if you are over 150lb or really tall, you might not find this chair very comfortable or easy to sit in. Again, I love this chair, but I really think that it is only designed for people on the smaller side.

I was a little apprehensive after reading about some reported problems with assembly - notably the hole alignment. However, in the unit I received, the holes were perfectly aligned, and all the screws were easily firmed up by hand.

I find it to be quite comfortable, and the ability to collapse the chair and store it away is a definite plus.

My one and only complaint is the grey cushions - I would have preferred navy blue.

Highly recommend!

Not a good choice for a man of any size or bulk. Limited adjustments and a tiny note saying limited to 200 Lbs. I wish that I could have tested it before I bought it for my next yard sale!

Didn't see it anywhere in the product description before I bought it... must be in the fine print... but on the chair it says "This chair can support maximum weight 200 lbs". Since I weigh 215 it would have been nice to know that I shouldn't buy this chair! Using it now and it seems ok, but guess it only a matter of time before it breaks as I've seen in other reviews.

I have really bad back problems & I'm a writer...so not sitting isn't an option for me. I researched kneeling chairs & was shocked at the high price of such items! Holy cow, for thirteen hundred smackers I could take a four day trip to Vegas & dine on steak every night! So, after much digging I settled on this piece.
It took a little bit of time to get used to it. I had to mess with the height adjustments to find a setting that worked for my back & my knees. Now I use it regularly. it allows me to write for six hours a day with little to no discomfort--which feels like a miracle.
If you are considering a chair like this, I wouldn't hesitate to try this one. The price is right, it has sturdy construction, it folds--what more could you want?

I've had a chair like this in the past and thought it would be nice to have one for my daughter. The chair needs to be assembled and doesn't have good directions, but can easily be put together by looking at the picture on the internet (directions don't have a picture). However the holes for the screws were not placed right, so it couldn't be put together right -- very disappointing. I returned everything. It was very difficult to get my money back -- but finally did.

I like the look and sturdiness of this chair. It also rolls nicely. What I do not like is the lack of thick cushioning. This is a chair that should probably only be used for short periods of time. I cannot see anyone not having discomfort in their knees and behind if they're on it for too long. Also, it's important to note that as you raise the seat, the whole angle of the chair changes, so by changing the height to suit your needs, you may also be changing the angle to one that is uncomfortable for you. If your body happens to fit one of the three pre-sets, you'll be fine. Otherwise, prepare to be a bit uncomfortable.

I sit in this chair for hours a day and it has been wonderful for my back. It is made of high quality materials.

My only complaint is that the foam on the knee portion does not completely cover the edge, which sometimes digs into my shins. Shifting my weight is usually enough to resolve the issue, but more or thicker foam would have prevented it altogether.
