4.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Place to Buy This, April 9, 2008

By	Vlada Raicevic (SF CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jobri Kneeling Chair - Deluxe Gas Adjustable, Black (Kitchen)

Some love these chairs and other's can't stand them.
I have spent up to 14 hours in this chair (i have the one with tempurpedic) without having to do a direct deposit of my paycheck to the chiropractor.

YES - the rollers can be a bit of a pain
YES - the knee pad can move around a bit - But please note: the design of this chair is that the knee pad sits on two large rubber grommets. I personally feel that the JOBRI folks made a mistake in not including locking washers with the two screws that mount the kneeling pad. If you add locking washers the screws won't slowly loosen and give you serious wobble - this will also allow you to tighten these screws without having to really TORQUE them tightly.

What this then gives you is a tight fit so it doesn't loosen too much, but leaves it loose enough to allow the kneeling pad to tilt slightly forward or back according to your particular body type.

FWIW: I'm 5'11" and very comfy in this chair.

Regarding purchasing the chair through AMAZON - Don't do it.
Search the product on google and note that several places sell the chair for the same price without the outrageous shipping fees.

1.0 out of 5 stars This chair is painful, not ergonomic., January 4, 2008

By	Stephanie "Stephanie" (STEVENSON RANCH, US, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jobri Kneeling Chair - Deluxe Gas Adjustable, Black (Kitchen)

I used to have a kneeling chair several years ago, but got rid of it when I moved. My office had this one around, so I decided to try it. It is nowhere near as comfortable as my old one.

As another reviewer has already stated, this chair does not seem ergonomic--there is something wrong with the level and angle of the knee rest. It forces my legs to bend at an uncomfortable angle, and if you're wearing tight jeans, it cuts off your blood circulation. Within two hours of using this chair, both of my legs were in pain and falling asleep. Furthermore, the angle and distance of the knee rest is not adjustable--only the height of the whole thing as a unit is. If the angle were more generous, this chair would be much more comfortable and healthy.

Another annoying thing about this chair is the base. It seems ideal for an office chair, however, the rungs get in the way of your feet as you're trying to sit in the chair. If you want to roll to a different part of your office, or simple rotate, your feet get caught in the rungs, and this, coupled with the limited mobility of your legs inherent in the basic design of kneeling chairs, doesn't make this a comfortable or productive experience at all.

Painful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, November 11, 2008

By	Andrei "Koenigcitizen" (Ocean City, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jobri Kneeling Chair - Deluxe Gas Adjustable, Black (Kitchen)

I agree with other reviewers. Knee chairs are very comfortable and good for your posture, but not this one.

My biggest beef with this chair is the base. Your feet get caught on it all the time, and it does not make it comfortable. There is also something wrong about the distance between the knee pad and the seat. The knee pad (as others mentioned) gets "wobbly" with time, but all you have to do is tighten it up, so that does not bother me that much.

I still use it as my gaming chair, but I definitely cannot sit for very long time. When I get uncomfortable, I find myself sitting on it as a regular chair with my feet on the floor.

I would avoid this one, and look for a different knee chair. There is something wrong with the design of it besides the base. It just does not feel quite right.

For the quality of the chair, I would say this item is way overpriced.

Thank you for reading my review, I hope it was helpful
