5stars! This stool is beautiful! So well made!. Connie. Pequannock, NJ. Wed Aug 06 2025

This kneeling chair with adjustable height boasts multiple selling points, including the ability to improve posture and relieve back fatigue. Its ergonomic design allows for effortless upright posture and weight distribution, promoting a healthy spine. Additionally, the chair is designed to evenly distribute weight on the hips and legs, reducing pressure on the lower back. With its adjustable height and cushion, this chair can be tailored to individual users for optimal comfort and support.

So I actually love this chair. I am 5'2" and a long time criss cross applesauce sitter. I have another desk chair that's wide seated to account for that. But like most other adults in their mid-forties, my neck and shoulders (and body) are killing me by the end of my work day. I wanted to test something out that would be better ergonomically, and after just a minute of sitting, I could feel a difference in my posture and neck. I did paint my seats bc black was the only option when I ordered, and the blue looks so nice with my space and the cushions are still nice and soft. Only reason I deducted a star was bc I was not provided with the right hardware pack. For some reason, the strips that go under the legs were missing, and in its place, some screws and connectors. Since it sits on a rug it's fine though!. Andrea. Carmel, IN. Fri Jun 05 2026

The first thing I liked was how easy it was to put together. I am not very good at building furniture, so I was worried it might be hard. Luckily, the instructions were simple, and it did not take me very long to get it ready to use. That made me feel happy because I did not have to spend hours trying to figure it out. Another thing I really like is how nice it looks. The stool has a modern style that makes my room look a little fancier. Even though it looks fancy, it still feels comfortable and welcoming. Friends and family who have come over have noticed it and said it looks nice. It fits well with the rest of my furniture and does not take up too much space. The comfort is one of my favorite things about this stool. The seat feels nice to sit on, even for a longer time. I use it when I am working on small projects, sitting at a counter, or just relaxing for a few minutes. It feels sturdy and stable, which helps me feel safe when I sit on it. I never feel like it is wobbly or weak. I also like that it is easy to clean. Sometimes things get spilled or dusty, and I do not want furniture that is hard to take care of. With this stool, a quick wipe is usually all it needs to look good again. That saves time and makes life easier. One thing that surprised me was the quality. When I first ordered it, I hoped it would be nice, but it ended up being even better than I expected. The materials feel durable, and it seems like it will last a long time. I use it often, and it still looks almost new. I think the Codnor Lab Stool is a good choice for people who want something that looks nice, feels comfortable, and works well every day. It is useful in many different rooms and can be used for lots of different things. Whether you need extra seating or a stool for a workspace, it does the job very well. Overall, I would give the Codnor Lab Stool by Orren Ellis five stars. It is comfortable, stylish, easy to clean, and simple to put together. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good stool. It has been a great addition to my home, and I enjoy using it every day.. Rick. US. Sun Jun 14 2026
