Wonderful!

Finally, a "chair" that does me good, not harm. My hips are so tight due to my sedentary desk job, a long commute, and limited time to stretch. It's so uplifting to sit on this chair and feel like I'm doing something good for myself. I'm excited to see how much I loosen up over time, and how this rolls over into the non-sedentary parts of my life.

(Attention cat lovers- there's room for your furry friend, too!)

Craftsmanship is great- no tear out, well-sanded. I really like that the chair can be disassembled when not in use. It comes with adhesive-backed anti-slip "stickers" to place on the bottom surfaces, avoiding floor scratches. The cushion from Bean Products is of excellent quality- no bottoming out despite it being thin.

Thanks, Higher Ground!

Get one!

Chairs are uncomfortable for me so I usually sit cross legged in them (if there is room). I can't sit like that in office chairs, (they usually have arms), so I'm trapped in one position. My day is spent fidgeting and I leave work with a backache.

For those reasons and more, this chair is PERFECT for me. When I ordered it I was concerned that it would be too short to work ergonomically with my desk. But it wasn't.

I didn't buy the cushion because I have a Zabuton that collects dust. The fit is fine but I will order a cushion with my next chair. Like other reviews I've read, I plan on buying a few more of these to have around the house.

Get one, you won't be disappointed.

I got into the standing desk wave back in 2013. It has always made sense to me that doing something as unnatural as sitting in front of a computer for hours every day required something to offset it. To go from standing to a normal chair has always felt off. This chair is, to me, the missing piece. If I have to do the kind of work I do, my body needs me to do everything I can to actively counteract the negative effects as they are happening. Simply performing a couple of quick stretches and exercises a few days a week isn’t enough to undo the damage. This chair is the perfect solution. Thank you for an amazing product!

Holy cow what an awesome purchase

I’m seriously patting myself in the back and the folks who created this. Mobility is a major focus in my life and this is the chair of my dreams. I work remotely and this is what I’ve always been looking for to maintain my asian squat.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad to hear your mobility and squat are strong!

Change your chair. Change your life.
