Review on SLEEKFORM Kneeling Chair - Home Office Desk Stool For Back Posture Support, Comfortable Cushions, Angled Seat With Wheels Rolling Black by David Merculief

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad quality, avoid if you're looking to use for extended periods.

I'm 34, 165lbs, and would consider myself in decent shape with no real posture concerns. However, due to the Coronavirus I found myself facing a few months of working at my home desk for 8 hours, which I'm not used to (I typically am walking around and/or at my standing desk for brief periods). After a few days of sitting in a regular dining chair, I figured I should invest in something more ergonomic.I have a few major complaints with this kneeling chair:1. Assembly - It's not a complex piece of furniture. And I'm a seasoned pro at assembling IKEA furniture, so I'm pretty adept at dealing with terrible instruction manuals. This was just way too ambiguous. "Attach this part to that part" is about the level of clarity you're going to get. Honestly, though, it's pretty easy to intuit if you just look at the picture, but unnecessarily vague.2. Quality of materials - Terrible instructions aside, the parts just don't fit well together. I'm unable to screw all for screws into the plate that connects the seat to the frame because the threads don't line up with the holes. And when you sit on the chair (assuming you were able to get it assembled), it squeaks no matter which way you move. For the record, I'm 165 lbs. If a chair that doesn't advertise directly to children can't hold 165 lbs it has no business being a chair.3. Ergo assessment - Not altogether a fault of this chair, but it gives absolutely zero indication as to how you should adjust it. Bonus points for being adjustable, I guess, but there are dozens of permutations. I gave it my best go, but still find myself slouching from time to time, or just putting my feet up on the knee rest because sitting in it normally for extended periods of time hurts. Again, this really is on me, but if you claim to be "ergonomic posture correcting" then you better at least include something that indicates which holes you should use.If you're looking for something to use for an entire day at the desk, don't get a kneeling chair. Just don't. I wish I could return this.

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to move
Cons
  • Wheels may scratch or damage hardwood floors.
