(More customer reviews)I had a chair like this previously when I worked in a doctor's office. I liked how it made computer work less painful on my back, so I searched Amazon for a kneeling chair & found this one with the backrest (the backrest was more for my husband than me) for my home.
Having had experience with this type of chair previously made me prepared for the fact that you have to build up a tollerance for sitting in it. Because you have to use your abdominals & back muscles for support, most will find it uncomfortable on their shins for about a week or two, until your body becomes accustomed to placing your weight properly. Afterwards you will be able to sit for longer periods because you will learn to draw from your abdominals. The gentleman in the previous review stated that there isn't enough padding. I assure you that you will not be aware of this in a week or two. You will it has just the right amount. NO matter how much padding this chair has (or any other kneeling chair has), you will not be prepared to sit this way, so it will be your natural inclination to put most of your weight on your legs. Until you are get used to sitting in it properly, I recommend taking one leg off & placing it on the floor to give your shin a rest. Then replace it to the knee pad & remove the other shin to the floor. You can also add a pillow to the knee rest for a few days. You may want to have your previous chair available as you alternate too for small breaks. It seems like a lot of work, (afterall, no one has evet had to teach you to sit in an office chair) but your back will eventually thank you for the effort after a few weeks. I am a fitness instructor & personal trainer and I can tell you that even I have difficulty getting accustomed to this type of sitting at first. Like anything that requires effort, you will see the benefits outweigh the minor discomfort in the learning or acclimation process.
This is a very attractive chair, and it is as comfortable as I knew it would be given that it's only the 1st day that I'm using it. I purchased the back rest part only because I figured other people sitting in the chair might feel better knowing they could rest back. I like that natural wood finish & the blue pads. The back rest was purely a cosmetic issue for me, but not at all necessary. If I were buying it for myself, I wouldn't have cared if it had a backrest.
It arrived very promptly & in good condition. I will re-review the chair in a few weeks after my body gets re-accoustomed to sitting correctly.
