Can someone help me locate a certain type of chair?

I'm looking for a certain type of chair that i've seen quite a long time ago. I've drawn it from memory in mspaint, and a few of you are probally sitting on one.

I'm in australia, so if someone can recommend a vendor or atleast give me the name of the type of chair so i can track it down, ill be grateful.

You mean what is known as a 'Kneeling Chair'?

A trademarked name for them is also 'Balans Chair' or 'Kneelsit Chair'.

The link to your drawing isn't showing, although I see this link when I view the page source info for your question.

I can't see your link, either, but if bruzie is right that it's a kneeling chair, I can give you some advice. They're great--for about an hour. Then you sit in a normal chair and breathe a sigh of relief. If they could somehow wedge in some armrests it'd make a big difference, but I've never seen one like that.

While we're guessing about chairs, I wonder if anyone's ever mounted a keyboard and monitor to a massage chair. Now that's a stress-free sitting position! (Probably need a drool cup, too.)

Are you talking about the wooden ergonomic kneeling chair that was really popular while back that was supposed to be better for your back than a regular computer chair?

If that's what your looking they have them on Ebay (and I'm sure other sites) for around $90 plus shipping and tax.
