Sleekform Ergonomic Kneeling Chair - Home Office Rocking Desk Stool for Active Sitting - White Comfortable Cushions Wood

I bought a nice looking but non-ergonomic office chair at the beginning of the pandemic. After two years of sitting in it for 8-12 hours a day, my back and posture were in poor shape. After seeing an ad on Instagram for this chair, I bought it on a whim, fully expecting to return it. I am now trying to figure out how to get rid of my old office chair.Ease of Assembly: I’m really not sure what other reviewers are talking about when they say it’s difficult to put together. It took me about 20 minutes and I didn’t need any tools other than the Allen wrench it comes with. It’s easier than putting most Ikea furniture together. There’s a YouTube video about assembly if you’re confused. Also, I am only 5’1, so I took the creator’s advice and put the seat cushion on backwards so my legs can reach the knee pads. The space is perfect for me. 5 stars.Pain Relief: My back was cramping during assembly because I had just worked 10 hours in my old chair. The second I sat on this chair, the pressure in my lower back was relieved. It’s so comfortable that I had to look at pictures and videos of people sitting on it because I thought I was using it incorrectly. Turns out it’s just a great chair! 5 stars.Ergonomics: Its a little higher than I normally sit, so I thought it might not work with my desk. I have an Ikea MALM desk and my hips sit just below the desktop. If I scoot in closer, my tummy pouch would be against the desk. However, I would recommend a fairly high monitor riser since your eye level may be much higher than it was before. Because I’m so high, I thought typing would be uncomfortable, but this angle actually relieves the pressure I was putting on my forearms/wrists.I was tempted to get the Tokyo chair because I thought I would need the backrest. I’m glad I went with the Austin because it looks much nicer in the home and I don’t feel the need for a backrest at all! Another 5 stars!TL;DR: 5 stars. Easy to assemble, relieves back pain almost immediately, relieves pressure on forearms/hands when typing. Generally cute and awesome. When I return to the office, I’ll bring my chair along with me.

TLDR: Amazing quality chair, super comfortable/functional/looks great! Incredible company, so helpful/friendly/informative/accommodating/passionate (plus it's a women-led! Support a girl boss!). Out of all the ergonomic chair options I can't recommend this one enough!!!I could go on forever about all the things I love about this chair & my experience buying it! I knew I wanted a more ergonomic chair and did a LOT of research before deciding this was the best option so save yourself the time & take my word for it. The things that set it apart for me were:1. Price - it's a perfect middle ground, anything cheaper & you'll sacrifice quality, anything more expensive & you're probably getting something way overpriced.2. Quality - if you compare it's specs to others like it, it is just built better. Thicker cushions & a sturdier frame that I know will last. Incredibly comfortable.3. Looks - not the most important factor of course but I would definitely prefer my furniture to look nice! The chair looks great! I love the high quality fabric & wood, plus it can easily be tucked away under my desk when not in use giving me some extra space.4. Company - I really care where I buy from. I want to support companies that I admire & this is a cool, transparent company that obviously really cares about their customers & the quality of their products.Other things I like about the chair & the company:-I have a desk with a top drawer which is a problem for my regular desk chair, I can't tuck in when I work because the arms of the chair hit the drawer. With this chair though, I can sit as close to my desk as I want with plenty of room for my legs!-I fidget a lot when I sit & love that there is a bunch of ways to sit comfortably in this. Plus you can rock in it & being able to move a bit while I'm working is sooooo great.-The company is female owned & operated which is something I love to support!-I also exchanged quite a few emails with their customer support & they always responded so quickly. They were so so friendly & helpful with all of my questions, even before I bought anything! Throughout the entire process the amount of passion & care they pour into this company & their products was evident.-Assembly was fast & easy! They send you a complete assembly guide plus you can find the guides on their website along with video walk-throughs.My only drawback:Realistically this is a problem with my set up & not the chair, but if you work mainly off a laptop it is something to consider. I usually work on a laptop & now that I'm not completely slouching over the screen is a little low. I would recommend either setting your laptop up on something (a laptop stand or even just a box) or using a monitor that is at a proper eye level.I'm sure almost no one will make it this far but all I have to say is I love this chair & everyone should get one!!!

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 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.

Normal desk chairs cause my hips to ache really bad, so this has been a great alternative and they don't hurt nearly as much. However, the cushioning on the knees doesn't last long. I've had this chair since Christmas 2019 and i use it 5 days a week for 6-8hrs a day, so only 9 months now. The cushioning on the knees has flattened and i only weigh 145lbs. I've noticed lately that my knees have been hurting and going numb, and i have to switch positions. I couldn't understand why until i noticed the foam is quite compressed. Wish they used a more long lasting dense foam....especially for the price. Going to have to use pillows now.
