One of those bloody "posture" chairs that you're meant to kneel at.
We both ended up using the kneeling bit as a foot rest.

Crap position for alone time, too.

Bloody awful devices.

It’s impossible to sit/kneel/whatever you want to call it on one of these things without looking like an utter prick

Yes. They're sanctimonious furniture.
Like having a futon, or biodegradable bin bags.

I use biodegradable bin bags.
Frankly, if you don't use them then you are failing as a human being, you are damaging the environment and the future health of those you love and who love you and that, in my eyes, makes you a pretty reprehensible individual. I'm glad that I have a better out look on the world than you do.

Oh...I see what you mean...

You should ask Pip
about bin bags.

She's one of the founders here. She got into a frothy rage about it with me years ago. Being a founder member meant she was right though.

Toally agree
My wife decided they were great, we got one and now I'm lumbered with it for my "office" (games room) as she finds it so uncomfortable.

I find I get dead knees after balancing on it for a couple of hours.

Friend of mine who is
an osteopath set up side a business selling those.

He was asked to appear on GMTV to talk about them, so in anticipation of that bringing a rush of biz (his company was his name, so easily found) he got an 0800 number, employed a load of people for a week to answer enquires and sell chairs.

GMTV cancelled his spot 15 minutes before he was supposed to appear. He sold, IIRC, 12 chairs in the 2 years the company ran for.

I got one of those
because I thought it might help with my lower back problems. It did, in a way: I was so busy concentrating on not falling forward into my PC monitor and on blocking out the pain in my knees that I barely noticed my lower back.

Yup
Mine was ok for a year or so, but after spilling a few too many coffees on the chipboard knee rest it just snapped one day. Bruising my knee quite painfully, and leaving me with a slanting stool. I used it as a footstool for a while, but even that was worse than not using anything, so it went for firewood.

I had one of these when I was about 10
...in front of my Amiga 600. Soon noticed knee pain when roller skating or jumping off walls which I'm sure was caused by the chair so stopped using it.

I found one by some recycling bins in Cambridge...
...it made a great chair for playing the Wii on (no back, no arms) but didn't make it into the van when we moved house...
