I don't care if you got no legs dance on your

In search of the absolute best kneeling chair money (hard cap of $200, shipping inclusive) can buy.

I need to purchase a new kneeling chair. It cannot cost over $200.
I used to use this one. It was fine, and I don't mind re-purchasing, but if there's something just a shade nicer/better I would prefer it.

Things I do not want:
-some other ergonomic chair that is not a kneeling chair
-great chairs that are $203
-an explanation of why this style of chair will give me cancer/declaw cats/murder children and therefore some other chair would be better

Thanks!

I used to use this one.

Same one I have. They're great! But mine is 20 years old now, and I bet the current model's made of cheaper materials. I bought one for my father more recently, and his upholstery's in much worse shape than mine.

PS Kneeling Chair? I just call 'em knee chairs, and I wish they'd caught on, so we had more variety to choose from. Kneeling Chair sounds more dynamic to me, makes me think of a kneeling bus

Response by poster: Like a chair for kneeling in. Like a rocking chair is a chair for rocking in. You don't call regular chairs ass chairs. ;)

I love kneeling chairs, except for when I forget I'm in one and stand up and bruise my shins! I had this one during college; I think it was on sale when I looked, and the light wood finish matched the rest of the dorm furniture.

I have this one and love it.

I don't understand how people can use these models that don't rock, because one can't find the right balance point; puts the pressure on one's knee's rather than one's pelvis.

These outside-frame rocking models are the bomb. I loathe and detest the common adjustable kneeling chair design that runs a great big hard support bar up between my shins, especially on the dismount, but these are great. More room between the shin pad and the arse pad for my thunderous calves as well.

I bought the one at links to a few days ago, and it's been pretty decent.
