Fantastic. My wife got one with a round seat (I call it the cupcake version). We switch every now and then. This and the high-rider desk I made out of multi-plex have cured me of repetiive strain ailments. I’ve had one of these for over 4 years now. Fantastic.

You can also spin the chair around and sit the opposite way which is pretty comfortable, but less active so I tend not to use that mode. Price is definitely high, but not that much higher than a regular office chair, and if it helps my back it's worth every penny. I can definitely say that it's better built than most office chairs I've seen, definitely very solidly constructed.

I figure the high sitting position also promotes regular movement, which must be a good thing, right? Well, I tried to ignore the price and just ordered one.

The posture is definitely more natural than sitting, feels a lot like standing but with the weight off your feet. If you have back problems and a stand-up or sit/stand desk I'd cautiously recommend it so far. Just expect to be sore for a while! :) So far, I like it, but it’s not something you can sit on all day immediately unless you’re already an accomplished horseman (ie thighs of steel) :) I’ve had it a week, and I can spend longer on it now, but I still have to switch to standing up every 30 mins to an hour, which is actually a good thing for me but wouldn’t be if you don’t have a stand-up desk already.

I'm almost convinced of buying one, but I was holding off for an update! Any news on the chair? I’m almost convinced of buying one, but I was holding off for an update!
