Cinius Backless Kneeling Chair

Wooden Kneeling Stool

From: Cinius

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.

Product Features

Rubberwood Frame - The base is made from rubberwood, a dense hardwood taken from the rubber tree. It is much harder than pine, which is what many cheaper kneeling chairs use. A hard frame does not flex or creak as you shift your weight. That matters on a chair with no back, where the base takes all your movement. Backless Kneeling Chair Design - There is no backrest, so your own core muscles hold you upright. The sloped seat tips your pelvis forward and your shins take part of your weight. This is the original kneeling layout. It suits people who want active sitting for part of the day rather than a chair to lean back in. Shape-Holding Padding - Cinius fills the seat and knee pad with non-deformable padding. Soft foam can flatten after months of use and leave you sitting on wood. Firm padding keeps its shape, so the knee rest still spreads the load across your shins. The fabric cover is made to resist wear.
Adjustable Tilt - The angle between the seat and the knee rest can be changed. A steeper tilt opens your hips more and moves more weight onto your knees. A flatter tilt feels closer to a normal chair. Set it so your thighs slope down gently and your shins rest flat on the pad. Compact Footprint - The stool measures 54cm deep, 45cm wide and 51cm high. That is smaller than most office chairs, with no wheels, arms or star base. It slides under many desks when you finish work. It also suits a small home office where a full task chair would crowd the room. 100kg Weight Limit - The maximum user weight is 100kg. Stay under that limit to keep the joints and frame sound. If you are heavier, look for a kneeling chair rated to 110kg or 120kg. Always use it on a flat, even floor so the base sits square and does not rock or slip.

FAQs

What is a wooden kneeling stool?

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.

Is a backless kneeling chair good for long days?

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.

How do I adjust a kneeling chair like this one?

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.

Can I use this as a kneeling stool for desk work?

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.

What is the Cinius kneeling chair made of?

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.

What is the weight limit?

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.

How big is this kneeling stool?

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.

Does it come in other colours?

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.
