This Varier kneeling chair is a backless rocking knee stool for the desk. It tips your hips slightly forward into an open angle. You sit tall and use your core, rather than slumping into a backrest.
Curved wooden runners let the stool rock softly as you move. Your weight shifts as you lean in to type and sit back to think. That keeps you moving through long sessions. The cushioned seat and knee pads sit on a wood frame with a polyester cover.
Felt pads come with it for hardwood, tile or carpet. It pairs with most desks and standing desks. The stool measures 72 x 52 x 51cm and is rated to 110kg. It is sold by Varier Furniture.

Yes. This model has no backrest. You sit on the sloped seat with your shins on the knee pads. Your core keeps you upright, and the rocking base lets you shift your weight. If you want back support, look for a kneeling chair with a backrest.
The curved runners let the chair rock forward and back. As you lean in to type, it tips forward. As you sit back to read, it rocks back. Your weight moves between your seat and knees, so you are never fixed in one position for long.
It is built for desk work at home or in an office. It pairs with most desks and standing desks. Set the desk so your elbows are level with the top while you kneel. Many people mix it with a normal office chair through the day.
Yes. Felt pads are included for the runners. They let it rock on hardwood, tile or carpet and help protect floor and chair from scratches. On thick carpet the rocking feels a little softer than on a hard floor.
It is rated to 110kg. That is a little higher than many backless kneeling stools, which often stop at 100kg. Stay within the limit to keep the runners and joints sound over time.
The stool measures 72cm deep, 52cm wide and 51cm high. It is longer than a fixed kneeling stool because of the curved runners. Leave a little space behind it for the rocking motion. It still takes up less room than a full office chair.
A kneeling chair opens your hip angle, which helps your pelvis tip forward and your lower back keep its curve. That makes upright sitting easier. It is not a cure for back problems. Take breaks and move often, and speak to a GP or physio if you have ongoing pain.
