Variable Balans Original Kneeling Chair Designed by Peter Opsvik (Dark Grey Revive Fabric with Natural Ash Base)

After much research I decided to opt for the original Varier Balens. I have suffered from lower back pain for some time and became lazy and slouchy spending lots of time behind computers badly designed and fitted office chairs. Bad posture was significantly contributing to ongoing discomfort and exacerbating the condition. The Varier Balens is very easy to transition to and puts my back into a great upright and natural position. The quality of the maple wood rails and cushion pads allows great flexibility whereas cheap copies are fixed more rigid not allowing core movement and core muscle engagement. Absolutely love it.

Beautiful wood, and fabric is soft. It was easy to put together, although I needed a rubber mallet to insert the wood dowels. It is tricky to align the seat and knee pads, as they rest on somewhat of a curve. It was very doable for a 68 year old woman with arthritic hands! I love this chair for meditating - easy to get into, super comfortable for long periods, and you can adjust your position from time to time without losing focus. I would really recommend this chair for meditation.

Perfect support chair for what I needed kind of expensive but you get what you pay for, excellent quality

Expensive - Yes. But after using it for a couple of weeks it becomes apparent that it's such a well designed and built product the cost is worth it. Definitely good for the spine as it encourages you to rock back and forth and move position unlike a normal office chair that makes you slump position

Perfecte!

I use it when I have back pain. Helps a lot. Definitely worthy if you suffer from some types of back pain.
