Every modern home or office should have a kneeling chair. Why? Well, not only are they ever-so chic, but they are also a great tool for maintaining posture throughout the working day, whether you're WFH or in the workplace. Aligning your back, shoulders, and neck, the kneeling chair keeps your core engaged as you work, meaning you won't slump and your metabolism won't diminish as much as it does with a regular chair.
To help you find the best choice for you, we selected a range of the best kneeling chairs you can find, each with their very own quirks and benefits. While all our picks are great, we do have a favorite, namely the SLEEKFORM Kneeling Chair, which is both understated, comfortable, and easy to use. Of course, you may have other criteria in mind, in which case, read on!
