The backrest provides support when leaning back, shift your weight forward and the shin cushions offer support while you focus on the task in front of you. The curvature of the wooden runners is optimized, ensuring that finding and holding a balanced position is both effortless and intuitive.
Norwegian Design
Peter Opsvik is known as one of the foremost designers behind ergonomic sitting. Throughout his career, he has attempted to overcome our stereotypical sitting habits with his unconventional seating solutions. It's the freedom of movement that defines his chairs, whether for the office, for children or for leisure.
Rethink sitting
We design for the human body. This means that the movements our chairs invite for are the intuitive motions our bodies naturally want to follow. Our chairs encourage a variation of positions, as opposed to imposing a single perfect posture, because we know that there is no such thing. We believe that the next position is always the best. Ultimately, we wish to invite people to move, and make it an essential part of everyday life - even when we sit.

This should’ve been easy to build, but it was extremely difficult. Pieces didn’t fit quite right. It was a real struggle. For this price point, it should go together much easier.

Boy, I'm pretty handy with a wrench and stuff, but this was by far the worst assembly I've ever been thru! Every step was a MF, there's 100 little things they could do to make the consumer experience much much better. Cool chair and all, but honestly if you don't want to wrestle the chair for 2 hours then just pick something else.

I have put together lots of things including a elliptical machine which had 5 times as many parts as this. The directions were mainly pictures with hardly any written instructions. I found each part difficult to get together and when I was finished after 2 hours I had a remaining part that I had missed. I looked in the directions and saw it in one of the early steps shown in a photo. I had to take the whole thing apart. Then there were these little pointed things that went into holes that held the cylinders which were for screws. These little things kept falling out after the chair was partly together. I hammered them in and they still came out. Finally I put some wood glue in to hold them and got it to hold. Got the chair going now. Not sure if I will even be able to use it much after all that. I will give it my best shot for $900. I would recommend trying a cheaper one but I wanted the back rest and my back is killing me so did not want to waist time on a lesser chair. Back hurts worse after hours of putting this chair together.

Hard to put together. Broke after 4 months. Difficult/impossible to repair.This is one of the better-looking kneeling chairs options out there but it is fragile and overpriced.Do not buy this chair – choose a cheaper alternative!!I regret not following other reviews that warned of the same issues.

I have an issue with bad posture when I sit in a chair. I think it is because it is difficult to maintain the same position for a long time. My body tries to get into a weird angle to change things up, and I often find myself in a posture that seems bad for my back. The thing about this chair is that it helps you keep a good posture, and you don't sit still because you can gently rock back and forth. There's also a bit of sideways movement. This resolves the problem of my body being unable to stay in the same position. I can sit comfortably for longer periods because of the movements that the chair allows while keeping good posture. Technically you can still sit in a bad posture with this chair, but it does encourage good posture and is definitely a good investment if you are working in front of a computer all day.That being said, it's not for everyone. I got it for a family member who was having back pains, but for her, each movement caused pain in her back and she preferred a chair that does not move. So maybe for some types of back pain, this chair is not going to work. For me I feel it will be a real benefit for doing my work and for my back.

This chair is rather incredible. Pricey indeed for those that are not aware of the endless benefits to sitting in the correct posture, however priceless for those who do understand. This chair appears to be designed to support the perfect posture both in and active and inactive position. I use the chair daily for about 9-10 hours and and I am able to sit comfortably in the perfect posture the entire time. The adjustability of the knee rest really change the game comparatively speaking to the variable balans which I also owned before this purchase. I find my self utilizing the various positions available in this chair without even thinking about it. At the end of the day I realize I feel great. I have no aches and pains and feel much more alert. The body is designed to allow the energy to flow without resistance and many of the ailments and illnesses that people have are deeply rooted in simply sitting in the incorrect posture. This puts pressure on nerves which cause pain. Pain causes stress which increases the cortisol levels in the body. When one gets in the habit of sitting in the wrong position they are also teaching the body the habit of producing the stress hormone. When this hormone is released it puts the body and mind in flight or fight which takes the energy away from the body and mind that it needs to not only focus and think clearly, but it also takes the energy that is required to generate more t-cells and embryonic cells. This means the body learns to redirect the energy it needs to develop, grow, and prosper to simply surviving. This like buying a care and never keeping up on the maintenance and eventually has quite a noticeable affect on the body. What affects the body also affects the mind and emotions. If the body is being affective negatively then so is the mental and emotional reality of the individual. Simply sitting in the correct posture there for can have profound benefits on the wellbeing of individuals, especially those of us who have developed that habit of sitting in the incorrect posture. I would not recommend worrying too much about the color and material that this chair is made from. I chose this color because it was half the price and many of the other options with different fabric. Although expensive than most, this chair is well worth the purchase and should be the standard that every furniture company works towards and upholds. This chair is well made, comfortable and stylish. I would recommend this chair over getting treatments for your back that are not fixing the problem at its source. This chair gets a 10 stars out of five for me and my friends would tell you I'm the most particular individual they know. I am not easily awe'd.

I have been using this chair for three weeks. I bought it because of back pain I was experiencing in my typical desk chair. (I have no back medical issues). I assembled the chair by myself although a second person would be very helpful. Construction diagrams are horrible, but using common sense you can put it together. When adjusting this chair for you, be sure to study videos of people sitting in this chair online to observe the proper body alignment you are striving for. I have to admit I’m hefty lady so I chose this chair for it’s sturdy construction and numerous adjustments. It was an extravagant purchase for me but worth it! Immediate relief of back pain for me. I use it eight hours a day at my desk. It sounds funny, but this morning I put a piece of nonslip rug padding on the seat so I couldn’t slip forward when both shins were on the shin rests. I know I will like this addition :-). Very happy with seller communication.
