🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 4 star review from Jason G.: Be Committed!
My review may be coming from a different direction than the rest. I used this chair for the better part of a month now and feel I can relay my thoughts. I bought this chair as someone who believes as many have said that years of sitting in a standard desk chair has taken away A LOT of my flexibility and caused much of my lower back pain. So I have begun stretching more and trying to gain flexibility back by sitting in various positions other than traditional sitting. So while many of the reviews come from people who can sit criss cross legged, on bent legges, or asian squat, I cannot but would like to get there someday.
So if you are like me and aspire to sit that way, then this chair is for you (and me) but make sure you are committed to this style of sitting or I can easily see this chair pushed to a corner and becoming an extra storage shelf.
My only negative comment is the lack of ability to lower the overall height (not just the tilt). As a shorter person 5'6" I don't sit with my desk chair at 20" because my feet don't quite reach the ground at that height. Also, I would not be at eye level with my monitor at that height. Most chairs and couches (I measured) are at about 15 - 17 inches high. So when using this chair with a cushion either trying to keel (which I cant yet) or asian squat I am so high I have to bend down a bit to type or be at eye level with my monitors and laptop screen. It would be nice to have a lower option so that in a squatting/kneeling position with the cushion, you would be closer to eye level with monitor/laptop on a standard desk. Monitor stands or a standing desk are a good solution as well, but if you don't already have those, then it's an extra investment on top of the chair.
Still would recommend this purchase overall.
