About this deal

To have a successful assembly and usage you might want to follow these tips: First tighten the screws barely so the parts can hold together, and then tighten them all the way. The exception here is the Ekstrem.Owing to its highly unusual design, putting this model together is a bit like assembling a life-sized 3D puzzle, and as such, it can be a bit of a head-scratching process.The good news is that it’s something you’ll only have to do once, and you’ll be able to enjoy it after that with only occasional re-tightening needed. Scandinavian Designed and Built I'm a Variable Balans believer after my experience with this chair. Ergonomic, beautifully crafted and built to accommodate your sitting preferences, the kneeling chair is paradoxically both one-size-fits-all and custom made.

To qualify for the certification, a chair must be designed in such a way that using the chair increases the number of calories burned by at least ten percent as compared with the Mayo Clinic’s baseline. What you get is two modes: A typing mode where you’re bent slightly forward, and a relaxing mode, where you are sitting upright with your shoulders and arms resting in your lap. Even if you decide Varier doesn’t make the kind of furniture you’re looking for, we think you’ll enjoy getting familiar with the company’s product offerings.

Every posture feels wrong after extended periods of time, including the kneeling posture,” says Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik, inventor of the kneeling chair, in an interview with Pure Contemporary. “For all my different chairs with the brand ‘balans,’ it was important to consider kneeling as just one of several postures that can be assumed in a chair.” Given everything we said above, we provisionally recommend the Varier chairs (although as you read in our individual product descriptions, certain models got a strong recommendation from us). People who buy a chair this company will do so primarily because they love the look of one of the designs. It speaks to them in a way that traditional office furniture simply doesn’t. Their headquarters can be found in Oslo, Norway, and they have made 20 different designs throughout the years. They are currently selling to more than 40 countries across the world. Ergonomics Of The Chair Variable is made from top quality beech ply wood from European forests. The ply wood is treated through an iterative molding process where several veneer layers are combined and glued. Through the application of combined heat and pressure, the layers are given their characteristic shape, making our Variable stand out from the crowd. All wooden parts are flexible and strong, ensuring a sitting experience that is never static. For a beautiful finish, our ply wood is covered with ash top veneer, manually sanded and coated with water-based, non-toxic lacquers. The Move stool handily beats that. During testing, people who used the Move stool burned an average of 18% more calories than those who sat in a conventional office chair. Color Options

On the other hand, one issue everyone warns you about. Get some soft tape and place it on the bottom of the runners if you wish to protect your wooden floor. FAQ’s About The Chair This is one of the company’s oldest designs, developed in the ’80s by Per Oie, and has set the standard in non-traditional ergonomic seating design since it burst onto the marketplace. In our view, this was a good decision, because the chair offers a raft of therapeutic benefits that extend well beyond what a “standard” ergonomic chair brings to the table. Final Thoughts Every element of this chair’s design and manufacture has been carefully considered and expertly assembled. The assembly, by the way, is done by hand in Europe, which goes a long way toward explaining why it costs a little more. Lacquered Ash Frame Hallingdal 65: is made of wool and viscose, which complement each other well: the wool provides excellent durability and flexibility, whilst the viscose adds brilliance and depth to the colour.

Sitting Comfortably in Your Ergonomic Kneeling Chair

While it would be overselling it to say that the Varier Gravity Balans chair is downright ugly, it would be a hard sell to convince anyone that it was an attractive design. In this case, it’s clear that the designers put the vast bulk of their emphasis on functionality and paid relatively little attention to form. The knee pads are slightly different on this model. The standard Balans features two separate knee pads, while this one is a winged design. A single platform to support your knees. The padding is sufficient to remain comfortable even after extended periods sitting in it but isn’t excessive. A great deal of the value of Varier’s product offerings is derived from the aesthetics of the chairs they sell. If you love the look of them, then Varier chairs offer tremendous value for the money.If aesthetics isn’t as important to you as comfort and adjustability, you’re almost certain to be underwhelmed.

Second, these are quality pieces of furniture offered by a respected company in the industry. You’ll pay a premium for European design and manufacture, but of course, it’s also true that you get what you pay for. An Impressive Warranty, But There’s a CatchIt will almost certainly take you longer to get it out of the box than it will be to put the stool together to get it ready for first use. Final Thoughts This is an incredible range, given that most office chairs only have a 4” range of height adjustment motion, and it makes the Move stool useful for just about everyone, provided that you don’t exceed the maximum recommended weight limit, of course.
