This wooden kneeling stool from Cinius is the classic backless kneeling chair. You sit on a sloped seat and rest your shins on a lower knee pad. The forward slope opens the angle at your hips. That helps your lower back keep its natural curve at the desk.
The frame is rubberwood, a dense hardwood from the rubber tree. Cinius says it is far tougher than the pine used on cheap copies. The pads are shaped and filled with non-deformable padding, so they keep their form over time. A hard-wearing fabric covers both.
You can change the tilt between the seat and the knee rest to suit your height. The stool is 54cm deep, 45cm wide and 51cm high. It takes up to 100kg and comes in more than one colour.
It is a seat with a forward-sloping cushion and a lower knee pad, set on a wooden frame. You sit with your bottom on the seat and your shins on the pad. The slope opens your hip angle, which helps keep your spine upright. The Cinius uses a rubberwood frame and has no backrest.
Most people use one for part of the day, not all of it. A backless kneeling chair asks your core to hold you up. Many users start with 20 to 30 minutes at a time and build up. Swapping between a kneeling stool and a normal chair keeps you moving.
Change the tilt between the seat and the knee rest until your thighs slope down gently. Your shins should rest flat on the pad. Your weight should sit mostly on your bottom, not your knees. If your knees ache, flatten the tilt a little and try again.
Yes. It is made for sitting at a desk or table. The seat height is fixed by the frame, so check it against your desk. You want your elbows level with the desk top and your screen at eye level. A footrest is not needed with a kneeling stool.
The frame is rubberwood, a dense hardwood from the rubber tree. The seat and knee pad use firm, non-deformable padding with a hard-wearing fabric cover. Cinius says this is what sets it apart from cheaper pine copies with soft padding that flattens over time.
The maximum user weight is 100kg. Do not go over it, as the frame and joints are rated to that load. If you need a higher limit, some wooden kneeling chairs take 110kg or 120kg. Check the listing for any model you compare.
It measures 54cm deep, 45cm wide and 51cm high. That is far more compact than a standard office chair. It has no wheels, so it stays put on carpet and hard floors. It tucks under most desks when you are not using it.
Yes. The listing offers the Cinius kneeling chair in several colours. The shown version is a natural wood frame. Colour changes the cover and finish, not the size or the frame material, so the specs stay the same across the range.
