DRAGONN by VIVO Ergonomic Kneeling Chair with Back Support, Adjustable Stool for Home and Office with Angled Seat for Better Posture - Thick Comfortable Cushions, Gray, DN-CH-K02G

I have been thoroughly impressed with this chair and the way it's able to relieve pressure on the spine, when compared to a traditional chair. I was already using a $250 "Ergonomical" chair, with lumbar and neck/head support, but I kept finding myself aching from pain after about 3-4 hours of use. I began to look around for alternative types of chairs, hoping to improve my chronic pain.I am a Senior in computer engineering, so naturally, I spend a lot of time in front of computers. This makes my choice of chairs extremely important, especially when considering my spine issues. I was extremely happy with my purchase, especially once I had a few weeks of use. If you have any spinal issues or have problems with posture, you can not beat this chair for the price! There are others on Amazon for less money, but not nearly as nice.This chair is great at promoting posture, since it's not physically possible to sit in the chair, without holding correct posture. That is, unless you only put one knee on the pad and you lean. I will occasionally do this myself, but only for a few seconds, when grabbing something real quick. Other than that, you can not be in the chair, without having correct posture. This is exactly what I needed and dare I say, this has changed my life, to some extent!?My only complaint about the chair, it should have an option for adjustable arm rests, instead of putting two handles on each side of the seat (which are also useful). I do realize that adding these would remove some of the postures promoting features of the chair. I just think they should sell this as an option, for $10-$20.To those complaining about knee/shin pain, adjust the height and/or stand-up every once in a while. It's only natural that your knees/shins will start to ache, after leaning part of your weight on them, for hours. You can't expect this company to get around the laws of physics!The only other thing worth mentioning is, I would not give this to an elderly person, or someone with bad balance. This is due to the fact the chair can be a little "slippery" when hopping into the seat. This is especially true if you use a desk-mat under your chair. Normally you'd sit back into a chair, it slides, but you're firmly seated with your back against the seat. In this chair, if you attempt to do that and you miss the mark, you are going to go flying across the room! So please be careful and do not think it's appropriate for your 70 year old parents (although it is still possible for them to use it, just need instruction).Overall, I highly recommend this product.

I've had no clue what to look for in the kneeling chair at the time of my purchase. So in this review, I'll try to help solve this issue for people who find themselves in a similar situation.I know that some of you are impatient and are looking for a quick answer to a simple question: "To buy or not to buy?"My answer to this question is: "Do NOT buy if this is your first kneeling chair. Instead, look for a chair with the seat positioned at the less steep of an angle. You can find some less than half the price of this one. Or go for a rocking kneeling chair, which is a bit more expensive."After my first few days in this chair, I found it not as comfortable as I'd hoped it would be. My initial thought was that I was doing something wrong. So I did some research online and then tried different kneeling chairs in my local Staples and furniture stores.I don't want to go into the pros and cons of all kneeling chairs in this review. But you need to know what to expect in general. So here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:"A proper kneeling chair creates the open body angle by lowering the angle of the lower body, keeping the spine in alignment, and the sitter properly positioned to task. The benefit of this position is that if one leans inward, the body angle remains 90° or wider. It is a type of chair for sitting in a position with the thighs dropped to an angle of about 60° to 70° from vertical (as opposed to 90° when sitting in a normal chair). A misconception regarding kneeling chairs is that the body's weight bears on the knees, and thus users with poor knees cannot use the chair. In a proper kneeling chair, most of the weight remains on the buttocks, and some of the weight bears on the shins, not the knees. The primary function of the shin rests (knee rests) is to keep one from falling forward out of the chair."Now back to this particular chair. It's all about angles. The angle of the seat is quite steep. More so than in other chairs I've tried. It forces me to slide forward and place more weight on my shins or knees. I'm 5'10, and the knee pad is a little too far for me to rest my shins on it.As a result of all this I end up sitting on the edge of the seat with half of my weight rested on my knees. This is wrong.This chair does have three different positions for a kneeling pad, and height adjustment knob. None of those adjustments solve the problem. Higher seat positions make the angle of the seat even steeper.As I've said, I've tried a few other chairs after this one. I think rocking kneeling chairs are hands down the best. But another much cheaper and simple looking chair from my local store was also much more comfortable than this one.I hope it helps.

I'll start this off with saying I did a lot of research on a chair before buying this one. I gave it a solid month or two to get used to it as instructed by other reviewers. It has continued to be very uncomfortable past 20 minutes of use. The thick foam pad quickly compresses and looses all comfort. The foam pad for your knees is awkwardly narrow as well. The backrest IS COMPLETELY USELESS.100% USELESS. It wouldn't tighten in any way to actually provide support. The backrest literally flops around in the bracket it's attached to. In no way does it stay in place. It just flops downward and tilts side to side no matter how many times I re-install it. I'm now outside of my return window for this chair after giving it a fair chance and I'm struggling to justify not throwing it out. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend finding another chair or entertaining the thought of buying a wooden rocking style kneeling chair since I'm currently using the one from my grandma's house that she bought in the 80's. It has almost no padding on it and it's seriously more comfortable than this new chair.
