Has someone tried kneeling chairs? like this: [Amazon.ca](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002L15NSK/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_b7txH07_c_x_w?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=9EA2T33M3FA00RRS101C&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=03e3475d-80a6-52bd-a17e-7047c6e51925&pf_rd_i=7239755011)

I remember kneeling chairs being a fad when I was in college thirty years ago. I think they can be hard on your knees, and also it’s still possible to slouch when using one.

I tried kneeling chairs a long time ago. One for me one for a kid. Got them at a thrift store for very little. Really tried using them to get used to them.

Problems:

Sans wheels there are horrible at getting into/changing positions. Not like a regular wheel-less chair.

With wheels getting in and out became a more “fun” experience.

They were donated back to a thrift store after several years.
