Focal Locus Chair, Black Nubuck

It’s HUGE so if you have a small office it is hard to move around - however, because it is so comfortable it basically eliminates the need for a chair. And it is possible to stand while stool is in place, so alternating leaning and standing. Not the most gorgeous thing and in retrospect I wonder if I could get by with something more compact, but if your main goal is health and comfort and something that will keep you on your feet, this is it. I no longer need a regular desk chair.

Love the design, to include the angled stand that reduces strain on the ankle, the flexible movement of the chair, and all the available adjustments. However, the Seat is too hard and created pain in my hip and buttocks - my wife had the same experience. A softer seat cushion would be awesome…without such I’ll return it.

Height adjustment is great. Stability great. Foot rest and pad fantastic. Seat comfort...could be much better, needs more cushion similar to an office chair or at least a thicker foam cushion with a little give.

I really like the idea of this chair, it looked ergonomic and comfortable. Alas not for me.

Anyone who can sit here for longer than 30 minutes is a better person than me... I rotate 30 here, 30 on a chair, 30 standing...

The media could not be loaded. I'd like to start by saying I think that the design of this chair is actually very novel, and my rating doesn't come from the use of the chair being less than desired. Rather my issue is that the materials used in the manufacturing of this chair were poor and susceptible to breaking. Perhaps I got a fluke and it was bad luck but I am disappointed with what I currently have.There is an angle adjuster for the seat to tilt included on the post underneath the seat cushion. This piece was made from pot metal and snapped off almost immediately. For me this was after only two days of use, and was rather disheartening, but not the worst issue. After this damage was done however, the leg of the seat now makes this very harsh grinding and scraping noise even just turning the seat without any weight. Moreover, the seat will not raise or lower without this scraping, leaving me concerned to use the chair at all. I've tried using fluorinated pfpe grease to mitigate this to no avail.I really wish that I could get this chair working again, because I really liked the feel and enjoyed using the chair, but I can't recommend it given my anecdotal experience with this product.

For me, this leaning seat really made the difference in getting me to commit to 100% standing/leaning throughout the day.It helps doing that by eliminating the need for a chair and constant sit/stand transitions (which, let's face it, eventually just turns to sitting down 80-90% of the time). With this leaning seat, I can rest my legs when needed without having to readjust my desk. I've been using it for ~6 weeks now, and after the initial 3-4 days of muscle adjustment, I now have zero leg and back pain (which had been a chronic problem for me), my posture is noticeably better, and I feel more energetic throughout the day.

Came as advertised, stores away relatively easily. I work from home most of the time and when I do I either stand or use this seat (I also sometimes just stand on the foot platform as well). It takes a while to find your comfort zone while using the seat and sometimes that changes depending on how your feeling. That being said its easily adjustable, to the point that I just make the adjustment almost without skipping a beat while working. The bottom part where your feet rest/stand has a non-slip but very rough surface, I scraped a knuckle once adjusting the mat (my own fault), but that has been the only problem I've had with this product. Hefty price for a seat, but I am glad I bought it.
