Luxton HomeErgonomic Kneeling Chair with Extra Padding - Posture Support Comfortable Desk Chair - Angled Rocking Stool & Balancing Seat - Natural Relief for Neck or Back Pain (with Extra Padding)

Everything arrived in perfect condition. All small parts items were furnished with 1 spare. Very strong, long-lasting construction. All wood pieces were made from furniture grade laminated plywood with no voids. Nowhere was cheap glued together sawdust used as with some other brands. All metal hardware screwed into threaded metal bushings. These fasteners will hold and NOT come loose like others that have screws into the wood itself. Cushions are made from memory foam, are thick and comfortable. One dimension that was not clear from the manufacturer's info was the total width of the knee cushions from outside edge to outside edge. This measures 19" and fits perfectly inside/under the leg opening of our roll top desk. In short, I could not be more pleased with every aspect of this item.

Here are my findings.Wood:The expensive chair has thicker wood. The cheaper chair's wood is the same width, but about 2/3 the height thickness, suggesting it would support less weight or wear out more quickly.Padding:Expensive chair has thinner, but denser padding. Cheap chair has almost excessively thick padding that quickly flattens out as soon as you sit on it. My main concern is that the padding on the cheap chair will go completely flat after a year or so. Only time will tell.Fabric:Material on both chairs seems to be reasonable quality and not likely to rip or pop seams any time soon, but the fabric on the more expensive chair is rougher and a bit abrasive on bare skin after sitting for a while.Support bars:The expensive chair has a single support bar in the back but is surprisingly sturdy. I thought the knee supports would be very wobbly but are actually sturdier than the cheap chair with the additional cross bars. I am very disappointed in the placement of the cross bars on the cheap chair because I sometimes pinch my toes under them as I rock. It seems like a no-brainer to avoid them, but when you are sitting in it all day working from home, it happens more often than you'd think. Additionally, the cross bars create more contact points with the floor which could cause problems on hard wood.Assembly:I encountered the same issue on either chair which is easily resolved. Don't tighten all the screws before you put the main seat on. Leave some wobble so you can set it on the pegs and guide the screws in more easily, otherwise it will be difficult. I had no other assembly issues. Most complaints about assembly are probably written by mechanically incompetent people. You really don't even need instructions to put these chairs together.Rocking Motion:The more expensive chair seems to have a wider and smoother rocking range. The cheaper chair tends to lean you forward a bit more keeping your center of gravity forward with more pressure on the knee supports. I hate to say it, but this single factor is what wins for me on the cheap chair since it is better for my back. The only way for people to really know what will be best for them is to try them.Other features:The angle of the seat and knee supports on the more expensive chair feel about perfect, whereas the cheaper chair's seat feels angled forward a bit too much putting extra pressure on your tailbone area. I suppose the angle adjustment would feel different from person to person though.The more expensive chair comes with adhesive felt strips to put under it for use on wood floors, where the cheap chair comes with nothing. While using the cheap chair, I rolled over a small pebble (something hard) which pressed and lodged itself into the chair's wood. Every time I rocked on it until I discovered and removed the pebble, I scratched and damaged my wood floor.On either chair you should tighten the screws periodically as they tend to come loose with use, but the cheap chair's screws seemed to come loose more quickly with the same use.The more expensive chair has a place to add an optional backrest (for $150 more), but the cheap chair does not.Neither chair has height adjustability, but either are adequate height for use at a normal height work desk. Some of the non-rocking chairs I have had are too tall when using wheels.Overall impressions:The expensive chair is superior in material quality and overall function in every way to the cheaper chair. The only question is, is that quality worth the additional $200+?

First and foremost I am a heavier guy. I am 260lbs and 5'7" tall. I am for sure at the upper end of the weight limit of this chair. It protests if I sit down too fast. As a former weight lifter, now gone to seed, I have thick legs and thighs. So I was concerned about many of these style chairs complaining about leg room. I had no issues with this chair, my legs fit perfectly with plenty of room to spare.I use a sit stand desk and swap between kneeling/rocking in this, to standing for 8-10 hours a day in my home office. Very comfortable for short stints of 1-2 hours. I do not recommend sitting 4+ hours continuously in this chair, this is not a high back office chair you can just sink into. You will use your core to stabilize and shift. It's really not designed/intended for continuous use.Literally the only complaint I have about this chair is that it needs another support between the knee pads to prevent lateral movement. Of the pads when entering/exiting the chair.5 stars, very happy with it.Edit: if I could give it 6 stars I would. Several months in, it's still a great chair. Also, one of the plywood cross braces split right down the middle recently. Even through it's no longer under warranty, the company still sent me a new part. Super satisfied.

I liked the posture this chair gave me, and I liked being able to rock. However, the long-term comfort was compromised by the cheap foam cushions. Yes, they are very thick, but they compress down to the hard wooden panels underneath and I ended up with a bruised shin. Because the knee pads are each on their own curved leg with no connecting bar between them at the top, they are VERY wobbly, which makes it difficult to adjust your position when you start to get sore. The rocking which is good for people who need "active sitting" is one of the things that makes it rather precarious getting in and out of the chair, or shifting your position once on it. I would also have liked the option to use the bottom cushions to sit cross-legged to give my hips a rest and stretch - but because there is a gap between the knee cushions, this is not really a viable option. It's an ok chair. The laminated wood is very pretty. Maybe for a smaller/lighter person this would be the perfect chair but I'm returning it to get one that doesn't rock and lets me adjust the height and angle of the seat and cushions so that I can tailor it to what is actually comfortable for me.
