Search on "low cost kneeling office chair". Just look at the small /simple ones. I swapped out my $1000 chair for one that I found at Staples for $100.

This chair also helped to eliminate my back pains while keeping my posture in good standing (by putting the weight on your knees you're taking it off your spine).

It's also very comfortable for longer sittings.

I used to love my kneeling chair. Then I gained about 20 pounds. After that my knees couldn't take the weight anymore.
That's odd. I would think your back would be more of a problem; after-all with the kneeling chair you move half the load off your spine (since you still sit) with the remainder weight being split across two knees... with a traditional chair you have 100 percent on your spine.) You must have weak knees and a strong back! :)
Would you mind giving the model number of the one you selected?

The chair looks big in my photo, but it's really just that my desk is so tiny.
