Meditation Chair, Home Office Desk Chair, Cross Legged Chair with Lumbar Support and Adjustable Stool, Flexible Design for Fidgety Sitters, Black

This was a big purchase for me - buying an office chair at this price point. The way I looked at it was that this was an investment. I was going back to work from maternity leave and I was tired of my hips hurting from being in one sitting position all the time.I’ve been using this chair for two weeks now and I love it. I work all day so why not be comfy doing it. Not like I’m winning the lottery or retiring any time soon.Would definitely buy again. Love the chair.

I meditate, also fidget and incessantly crawl around chairs, which is why I meditate. LOL. Either way, this chair is HEAVEN SENT for either person. Cross-legged is my primary sitting position, most comfortably from a zafu (those little round meditation cushions) on the floor, in front of a low coffee table and the computer. I get sore at the office because they have these enormous slumpy or dense foam chairs. Sometimes I try putting my zafu on the chair and sit normally, but the chair designed support at all the wrong angles and it rarely works. FINALLY. A CHAIR. Answer to my prawyers. I was shocked to see so many unsatisfied reviews on here.First, from a balanced position, either cross legged or on knees on a cushion, all one's weight is stacked straight up and down on the spine, weight slightly forward, your abdomen holding your body in position; NOT like a western chair where its designed slightly leaned back, pushing your weight into your lower back. That lower back thing causes a lot of pain problems for people. I know. I use to have it bad, especially after a car wreck that damaged my spine (it works again now, no worries). But chairs always hurt after that. I needed stronger core muscles. If you have lower back problems, before you spend all this money on chiropractors, try strengthening your core and meditating. I had too because my back literally didn't function for the two years it took my spine to heal.Anyhoo - with weight stacked straight up and down, you actually don't need super strong core strength to hold your body up, just enough strength to tweak your balance occasionally and adjust. Same mechanism as indigenous people carrying groceries on their head: They're not super strong, they just have enough core balance and control to hold it steady, with all the weight being stacked on the spine by gravity. No powerful muscles required.Western chairs don't let you do this. Obviously my irritation has made me think about it a lot, lol. Western chairs push all the weight into your lower back and force you release your abdomen. Its more comfortable in theory, because you don't have to use your abs to balance, but it also makes your abs dead weak when you've done it for years. It also mildly changes your nervous system, if you want to know. Changes how you hold balance in general, makes you unable to balance correctly walking or doing other tasks.I say this bc a lot of reviews on here do not seem to understand all this. There's a lot of complains of LACK OF BACK SUPPORT and NO LUMBAR and WHAT A WASTE and these complaints completely misunderstand what this chair is for.THIS CHAIR IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW YOU TO SIT CROSS LEGGED OR ON KNEES, STACKING YOUR WEIGHT ON YOUR SPINE WITHOUT ANYTHING TOUCHING YOUR BACK. I mean the chair-back is cozy looking but its function isn't for support. I took the chair-back to be necessary either for the overall balance of the chair; or, as a guide so that when you touch it with your back, you know you're leaning too far back or slumping.Its not for support. This whole operation depends on your ability to balance with your abs. As a reward, your back problems go away or get diminished, and I get my spine back.The rise-able main cushion, firm like a zafu but somehow softer, plush without sinking down, is perfect. You need a firm surface because this is where all your weight is supported. But you also need a soft surface because booties are delicate and we like soft things. Perfect.The fact that the cushion rises and you can control the distance between your legs and pelvis: PERFECT. Allows you to try all sorts of new positions without putting your legs too sleep, no matter how big your legs are or how short (me). I like the feet planted forward on the lower pedestal and leaning forward. I learned that in China; you've seen it: when they run into friends in the street or talk over dice, squatted all the way down and resting their weight in the same way, but more balanced forward on planted feet into a self-made body chair. So comfortable. Now I get to do it at my desk! I love home office now!Anyway, this chair is perfect. I love it. Please don't believe bad reviews from people who misunderstood it. They're just in pain.

Okay, I have had my eye on this chair for 2 years and finally bought it. Ive had it for about 5 months now. In a lot of ways, it's great. I love being able to cross my legs and change positions. BUT I would recommend getting a bigger seat one if there is. The cushion itself is comfortable during the 9 hr office days, but it's a small area which can feel less than ideal at times (i am 5'6" and 155lbs for reference).I will still be paying off this chair through the year and I don't regret it, it beats the office chairs, but the small size is why I gave 4 and not 5 stars.Assembly was straight forward, it's good quality, stable, and rolls smoothly. There is no option to tilt back, it will remain straight. There is some height adjustment for the seat but not for the footrest.

I love this chair, it is well made and aesthetically pleasing. It is sturdy yet comfortable to me. It don't need the extra back cushion honestly. The height is great because I don't have a high desk. It rolls easy and works well on my carpet but I appreciate that I can change the wheels to gliders if need. It's pricey but I would say worth it...I would say that making the arm rest adjustable wasn't needed and it would be nice to make it an option where you can lock it to stop.The chair doesn't lock in tilt mode, which I notice is a complaint which doesn't bother me but if you reduce the tension and don't use the cushion when you sit back it'll tilt and stay that way which I really enjoy when I need to break or am just watching a video I can rest back... You can lock it to not tilt also...just doesn't have a lock in tilt mode like other office chair do.
