SLEEKFORM Ergonomic Kneeling Chair - Rocking Balancing Wood Knee Stool | Posture Correcting for Bad Backs, Neck Pain & Spine Tension Relief | Orthopedic Balance Seat & Thick Comfortable Knees Cushions

I'm a fan of this chair. Typically, this is the type of chair that I'd shy away from- I love a backrest and armrests, and this chair just looked kind of weird. All these concerns were unfounded however, this is one of the comfiest and most versatile seats I've ever used. I originally bought one of these chairs in 2019, it was good but it took a while to put together and one of the leg rests fell off after a little while so I stopped using the seat and settled on a run-of-the-mill Ikea kitchen table chair (look up "chair" in the dictionary- this is what I sitting on). After a year of sitting on the Ikea chair, my back and hips were constantly in pain so I decided to try out one of Sleekform's kneeling chairs again and have been so happy with it. The Sleekform chair introduces a range of movement and posture that I don't get from a normal chair. The cushions are super comfy, and it's a great height. It feels made of quality materials, and I like that the team at Sleekform has taken a style of seat that is typically pretty ugly/ clunky looking and made it look like something you don't mind having in your home. The customer service is great- quick and helpful (I had the seat cushion facing the wrong way and customer service helped me troubleshoot this very quickly). Highly recommend.

So I bought two kneeling chairs with the intent to keep whichever one I like most, this one and the Ecordesk kneeling chair. It's not even close, the Ecordesk chair is way more sturdy and comfortable than this Austin chair. The Austin chair's knee pads are pretty wobbly and thin while the Ecordesk knee/shin area is massive. The Ecordesk also rocks a lot smoother. All that said if you're small and looking for a budget deal, the Austin can still work fine for you. But if comfort and stability is what you want there are better options.

I love this chair, but the knee cushions wobble and spin, get looser and looser, until the screws need to be tightened-- weekly. Yes. Weekly. I keep the Allen wrench it came with in my desk drawer, but after weekly tightening over the few years I have had the chair, no surprise, the screws are finally stripped. (Did I mention it is annoying to have to flip your chair for the weekly tightening?) (Did I mention that it seems pretty dumb that the knee cushions which hold your weight are held in place with one single screw?) Why must companies use their own size/shape/type of screws? Turns out, these screws are unavailable at the hardware store. So. That's it. The natural life of this chair depends on the life of a screw that clearly isn't enough to hold the thing together. Is it still a great chair? Yes. But really disappointing that it didn't last. I did not have my chair for 2 years of the pandemic, so it's total lifespan was about 3 years... because of the design using a single screw to hold the dynamic important weight-bearing part. I guess I will not be purchasing this brand again. Someone shouldn't need to replace their furniture every three years.

It's less expensive version of the european ones. I've used one of the other ones before but don't remember the experience well enough to remember if they were superior and worth the extra cost. I bought four of these. Three for myself and one I gave as a gift. The instructions aren't always clear when assembling but the picture is easier to copy to get it together. In all three of my chairs, one kneepad is different sized from the other one. I also have the problem, over the long term, that the screws for the kneepads become loose and I have to keep retightening them. If I end up with them in a more permanent location, I might use some gorilla glue/locktight and them these things down. I might one day invest in the european version as a test. Update: downgrading to two stars. The pegs on the kneepads have pressed deep into the pads and now the kneepads swivel on the one screw. I hope the design improves in the future. Update two: initially bought about july 2020. With intermittent use, they haven’t held up. The seat is no longer comfortable. At least one of the kneepads on each seat are too loose now and the screws just keep spinning. Some of the dowels have pushed in too far which doesnt help keep the pads stable. I might need to use glue or just get longer dowels and screws.

So happy with the Sleekform Ergonomic Kneeling Chair. I have been looking for a new chair for my home office that would be more comfortable for sitting at the computer for many hours. I needed a chair that would help with my posture and keep me from slouching so much. In my search for a new chair, I came across the Sleekform Ergonomic Kneeling Chair. This chair is exactly what I was looking for in an office chair. The design of the chair helps me to stay mindful of my posture and helps me correct it by being able to easily adjust how I am sitting. If I am putting too much pressure on one part of my body, I can easily change positions and still maintain better posture while sitting for long hours. The rocking motion is a great way to stay active while sitting and for me has a calming effect. It is my favorite part of the chair! The chair also works well for people of different heights. I am 5’8” and my son is over 6ft tall. He is all legs and he is able to sit in the chair very comfortably and he really likes the rocking motion too. The chair is well designed and sturdy. It comes unassembled, but is packaged very well and all the parts are labeled clearly - I really like that the company was so thoughtful on the labeling. The hardware even comes in a sealed set of bags. And the directions are very easy to follow. I did find the directions had a few minor issues, but it did not cause me any issue with assembling the chair. I took my time putting it together, but I believe you could assemble it pretty quickly if you are more familiar with putting furniture together. Some of the other great features I appreciate in the chair are: The cushions for the seat and legs. They are much thicker than some of the other kneeling chairs I found. The felt strips included for the bottom of the chair that comes in contact with the floor. This is really nice if you have floors that can be damaged. And I like the black painted wood. The paint job is very well done and the chair looks very streamlined and modern. I am really happy with the chair and highly recommend it if you are looking for a comfortable chair. Update: my son liked it so much, I bought him one. It really helps to have a comfortable chair since he is home for school while we are in online school mode for Vovid-19. Still highly recommend the chair.

I’ve built my fair share of DIY furniture and actually enjoy the process. This product though, seems to have been built with the sole intent of wasting my time and and causing frustration. First, product was delivered on Thursday, and when I attempted to put it together on Saturday, saw I was sent two left side pieces instead of a right and a left. Life happens, so after emailing Sleekform’s customer service, they dropped the right part into USPS on Monday and I received it on Friday. So here I am, trying to put this chair together and it’s clear that something went off in its construction because the pieces and bolts just don’t align as you can see in the photo. The quality of the product is shoddy. A friend got the same product and it seems to work for them so caveat emptor, I suppose. For me, UPS will be picking up for return on Monday and I’ve ordered a different kneeling chair that will arrive by Sunday.

I bought this chair because my prior desk chair was killing my back. This kneeling chair helped with the back pain, but it has its own issues. I'm handy at assembling things, but this chair was a bit of challenge, despite good instructions and a video. After a few weeks of use, I noticed that that the shin supports were loosening. It has been necessary to retighten them every couple of weeks, as they are held to the frame with just a single screw bolt. Over longer periods, the bolts in the frame and seat also loosen. (Save that hex key.) The directions say that if you are balanced properly on the seat, your shins and knees should not need the support of the pads, but I find myself sliding down onto them anyway. The fabric, although durable, is quite rough. The issue with the shin pad's bolt has caused the threads in the pad to strip, leaving one of them permanently wobbly. Now I'm in the market for my fifth desk chair in four years.

Overall this chair is awesome! It was a bit confusing to put it together at one point, but I loved that all the instructions came coded and the pieces were separated into their own pouches with labels. Very organized. It probably took me about 45 min to get it done. Once I had eveything properly put together, the chair is amazing. The rocking is smooth and is just what I was hoping for. I have been using it in increments for a few weeks now so the transition is easier on my body, and it has felt great. Awesome product!
