I backed the Nobel 2.0 on Kickstarter in April —two chairs — with great excitement to receive these in June. After months of extending the delivery timeframe due to “quality issues” and “wanting to ensure the best product” it is now December…and I am still waiting. The company stated in mid-November that the chairs would be out for delivery in the US within 10-14 days. Then, 13 days later, the company provided another update stating the chairs would be delivered in the US within 10-15 days this time. So basically they keep extending the timeframe more and more, all the while encouraging backers to look into a new product they support on Kickstarter. *snort* Not likely! I’ve sent three emails to the company, I’ve gotten ONE response, and the response did not even answer my question, it just made a vague reference to an even MORE extended wait for delivery into January. Buyer beware, this company does not have it together at all. I’m just hoping at this point that I receive this product eventually…

It took a minute to adjust my muscle memory to this new way of sitting. But I love the way my body feels now. 8 hours is a long time to sit in any chair. I do need to change positions and stay conscious about not slumping forward. Overall, my posture has improved greatly.

After using vilno chair for a full 8- hour workday, the difference was clear. no shoulder or neck pain, and I didn’t feel slouched over like before.

I'm not usually one to leave a review, but this company deserve kudos! It was easy to assemble with quality hardware. The cushioning is very dense and feels great too. Made in USA. glad I found this company! Good job Brothers!

Easy to assemble, parts all fit. So comfortable kneeling and the rocking movement is relaxing

Okay so the chair is functionally okay, but the pads are definitely not memory foam and honestly feel a bit flimsy and cheap.

This causes a huge fundamental flaw in that your shins will get destroyed, it feels hard to sit for a substantial amount of time which defeats the purpose of the chair in the first place. I can't believe it's advertised as memory foam and what you get is clearly not...

P.s Actually I've now done some extra research looking at videos and the padding is actually not the same, the product itself looks exactly like Ergonomist's rocking chair (which is priced cheaper even after 50% off), I suspect this is a sister company for their European branch. BEWARE IF YOU ORDER IN Europe as you won't get the same chair as you see in the pictures!

Backed on April 18th Was supposed to be received in August. Then Sept. Then October. It is now November and I Still haven't received anything so I can't really review but I have tried emailing the kickstarter folks and all they say is "its on its way" but here we are getting review requests in November when I still haven't received the 2 I ordered and paid and arm and a leg in shipping for. I would NOT support this company or any of their campaigns again.

Assembly was quick with the video, only been in it a few minutes and love it already.

I finally received my Vilno Nobel 2.0 kneeling chair. I'm very excited and quite comfortable with it. Although it's a bit tiring for my back and spine, it reminds me to sit up straight. I hope this product is long-lasting and helps to strengthen my back. I highly recommend it.

I ordered two of the footrests via Kickstarter. We received them without the rubber anti slip pads and we requested those to be sent out. We had them posted to us, but only received 7 instead of 8. On 12th January I emailed and was replied to on 13th January and I was told a replacement would be sent. However, we never received a replacement. Since then I have emailed on 14th April (which I did get an auto reply to but nothing else), 10th June and 23rd June. I have not had any response.

In my email on 12th January, I gave some feedback on the footrests and I was told these were things they would definitely look into improving for the future iterations of the footstool.

We have been using the footstools for the last few months and overall they are pretty good and solid construction. However, one of the points I brought up in January was regarding the four textured rollers in the centre- what we feel is a main feature/selling point.
The issue is that, on both the footstools, a couple (mainly the bottom) roller seems to struggle to rotate as smoothly as the others. On looking at it from above, this seems to be because it is at an angle. This does affect usage (when we emailed the feedback in January we hoped it would loosen and improve) and we tend to not bother even trying to use the rollers that much because the bottom one/ones prevent smooth rotation.

Having used the footstools for the last few months, the fact the rollers don't rotate as smoothly is really frustrating and, considering the cost, disappointing.

Overall, I was fairly happy with the product and customer service to begin with. However, now, I feel the footstools were a bit overpriced and there has been a complete lack of further customer service help.

This is well made and was easy to assemble. Instructions were clear and all holes lined up nicely. Having this kneeling chair has really improved my posture and reduced neck and shoulder strain. I've been usinig for hours a day, for 2 months now and have seen an improvement in my pinched nerves. I also enjoy being able to rock back and forth instead of just sitting stagnently in an office chair. My only complaint would be that I would have rather the knee pads were a couple of inches longer; I find that after a while, I get a little sore on my shins and have to re-adjust my knees to relieve that pressure. Otherwise, very comfortable and I feel very secure sitting upon it.

Spectacular product. Nice thick padding. Worth the money. You can sit in the kneeling position or with either foot up, or both. Provides a ton of flexibility in how you position yourself. Seems sturdy and well made.

I never usually write reviews due to ordering so much stuff on Trustpilot.. but this one felt like I needed to. I was at a point where I was working too many hours on a computer that I couldn't even hold good form for most of the day. When I saw this, I wasn't really sure what to make of it, but it was worth the test, and any price was worth paying to help fix my daily back pain. This really does make good posture easy, and while I didn't think I would use the rocking part, i actually do! Highly recommend.

This chair will revolutionize the way you sit. Its very easy to assemble and comes with everything you need including tools. High quality smooth wood pieces that fit together exactly snug. The seat cushion is very comfortable and just the right amount of fluff. The knee rests are pretty much the same. I love how my back doesn't really hurt while I'm sitting at this chair. The rocking function is nice and its really easy to gain your balance.

I use this chair for music practice after seeing a similar one mentioned on a music forum. I like that the knees are supported independently, rather that with a bar across the front. It makes it easier to get into and out of the chair. Now I can have long music practice sessions and my back no longer gets sore. I am recommending it to everyone in my band!

This is an amazing chair. It instantly fixed my posture problem with a traditional chair. I just assembled it and started using it a few hours ago. I’m already noticing a huge improvement in how my back feels.

I love this chair! It keeps my back straight and I'm so used to it now. One of my best purchases! And great customer service Lisa!

Just adding in to the knee pain as suggested in a number of reviews . Requested a refund and read through the returns policy . It mentions a ‘We offer and guarantee easy returns’ agent was quick to respond alternative solution but politely requested to return . Was provided with address of return so packaged up the same day as assembly for return . Having arrived at post office for return advised the address isn’t listed on Royal Mail database so unable to send . Currently sat awaiting response but very poor experience considering the wording of website .

Yes it is pricey, but it is the only rocking chair of its kind that has a weight rating. I use this every day at work, and although it is a tiny bit tall for standard UK office furniture, it gives me so much flexibility to move around during the day and has really reduced my neck and shoulder pain as a result. The mount/dismount isn't pretty, and takes a clumsy person like me a bit to master. But honestly I wouldn't trade it for the world now. Worth every penny.

I love this chair. My friend told me about it and I wondered at first if I could sit in the design for long periods! But I’m keen on posture - and a straight back for energy flow and alertness.
And the brilliant design really does do the job. It’s really comfortable - my posture is excellent and I sit in it working for hours at a time.
I’m delighted. The chair is a game changer.
Only needed to contact customer service as I lost the invoice - and Lisa replied that same evening.
Highly recommended.
