So happy with the Sleekform Ergonomic Kneeling Chair. I have been looking for a new chair for my home office that would be more comfortable for sitting at the computer for many hours. I needed a chair that would help with my posture and keep me from slouching so much. In my search for a new chair, I came across the Sleekform Ergonomic Kneeling Chair. This chair is exactly what I was looking for in an office chair. The design of the chair helps me to stay mindful of my posture and helps me correct it by being able to easily adjust how I am sitting. If I am putting too much pressure on one part of my body, I can easily change positions and still maintain better posture while sitting for long hours. The rocking motion is a great way to stay active while sitting and for me has a calming effect. It is my favorite part of the chair! The chair also works well for people of different heights. I am 5’8” and my son is over 6ft tall. He is all legs and he is able to sit in the chair very comfortably and he really likes the rocking motion too.
The chair is well designed and sturdy. It comes unassembled, but is packaged very well and all the parts are labeled clearly - I really like that the company was so thoughtful on the labeling. The hardware even comes in a sealed set of bags. And the directions are very easy to follow. I did find the directions had a few minor issues, but it did not cause me any issue with assembling the chair. I took my time putting it together, but I believe you could assemble it pretty quickly if you are more familiar with putting furniture together.
Some of the other great features I appreciate in the chair are: The cushions for the seat and legs. They are much thicker than some of the other kneeling chairs I found. The felt strips included for the bottom of the chair that comes in contact with the floor. This is really nice if you have floors that can be damaged. And I like the black painted wood. The paint job is very well done and the chair looks very streamlined and modern.
I am really happy with the chair and highly recommend it if you are looking for a comfortable chair.
Update: my son liked it so much, I bought him one. It really helps to have a comfortable chair since he is home for school while we are in online school mode for Vovid-19. Still highly recommend the chair.

Product Description
Perks Of The Austin
Active Sitting.
Having the ability to stay in motion even when you're sitting has countless benefits. The rocking motion keeps your core engaged and in turn, your back is supported.
Active sitting is a great way to stay focused if you're prone to fidgeting. It's enormously helpful with maintaining productivity throughout the day.
Open Hip Angle.
Due to the 70° angle of the seat cushion, when you place your weight onto your sit bones the chair gently tilts your pelvis forward encouraging a natural upright posture. This posture engages your core muscles eliminating pressure on your spinal discs, back and shoulders.
What About My Knees?
Don't be fooled by the term "kneeling chair". When sitting in the Austin the majority of your weight remains in your buttocks and any weight in your legs is placed on your shins. This allows you to be able to sit in this position all day long without any pain or discomfort in your knees.
Key Feature Of The Austin.
- Rocking motion to help keep core engaged
- Open hip angle for effortless upright posture
- Weight capacity of up to 265 lbs
- 20 ply birchwood (compared to competitors 14 ply)
- 4 inch thick cushions for added comfort
- Soft, black linen cushion covers
- Natural, effortless S curve for your back to help with pain

Poorly designed with cheap materials subject to self-destruction in a short period of time (15 months).
After 15 months of use the design defects are manifesting themselves. The wheel locks have knobs attached to the levers, one of which has snapped off, rendering the wheel permanently locked (won't roll). The wheels snap into a plastic insert in the end of the metal frame and the plastic insert cracked, so the wheel is canted instead of true so that the wheel is no longer a castering/pivoting wheel and it ends up against the frame, perpendicular to the direction you want to go thus acting as a brake. Contacted their customer support but they are a bunch of inept adolescents. Robin writes: "I can give you the dimensions for the parts you need to replace so you can hopefully find them at your local hardware store. We've had some customers tell us that the stems of the castors have been the problem- if that's the case for you anytime of castor with an 8.25cm stem on it will fit." That's not the problem I reported. Their website claims "What type of wheels are on your chairs? ...It depends on the model you have! Our Atlanta, Milan and Tokyo have rolling casters that you would find on most typical office chairs, with breaks on the back two wheels. Our LA and San Diego models come with rollerblade style wheels. The rollerblade wheels don’t have breaks, but roll effortlessly over any floor type, including carpet." Maybe they would consider learning the correct spelling of the word brakes!Let me tell you that rolling this chair over any floor is *NOT* effortless when the poorly designed cheap plastic caster wheel supports crack. Its as if the "brakes" are always on!A reply from customer service:Hi Marc,My name is Elizabeth and I am helping Robin out with getting you hooked up with new casters or trying to help get this fixed up for you.The way I understand it the plastic tube is broken inside the casters right? I am trying to envision the piece that is broken but am having a hard time.Which kneeling chair did you purchase? We have a number of models and I want to be sure I get you the right information.Please let me know, happy to keep helping!I will be on the lookout for your reply!****************To which I promptly replied but received no response even after 3 weeks.Update 10/23/2018: I have to add one start due to the design change with the new ball bearing caster wheels. Apparently Sleekform *does* listen to customer input. Looking forward to receiving my new ball bearing caster wheels.

I love the rocking motion!!
Beware the crossbeam at the front though. The first time I sat on the chair, I had my foot under the crossbeam and crushed my toes. It only takes once to learn that lesson!
I love the versatility. As someone with ADHD and a bad back, I really like this option.
The seat is higher than my old office chair, so I'll need a monitor stand to bring it up to eye level for optimal ergonomics.
The knee rests are quite firm at first, but I can already feel them getting softer with more use.
Whenever your core gets tired, just change positions and rock away!
