Review Of The Jobri Ergonomic Kneeling Chair

Jobri is based in Konawa Oklahoma and produces a wide range of ergonomic products of which the Jobri kneeling seating range is a part.

There is a standard and a deluxe model in the Jobri ergonomic Kneeling Chair range, plus some enhancements. We review the standard models here, the top of the range model is the Wood Accent F1430 and a review of this Kneeling Seat can be found here Wood Accent Kneeling Chair.

Jobri Standard Kneeling Chair

The entry level Kneeling Seat is the Jobri F1420, which has a black painted steel frame and is manually height adjustable by means of a rear mounted vertical support. The frame of the F1420 kneeling chair has a scissor like construction and by adjusting the vertical adjustment bar it raises and lowers the seat height accordingly.

The overall seat height adjustment is between 21'' and 28.5'' to enable personal adjustment for correct positioning and your overall kneeling comfort. The F1420 seat pad is made from supportive polyurethane foam which is upholstered in a good quality black fabric and is 17.5'' wide by 12.5'' deep.

The knee cushion has a pair of pads which are similarly constructed and finished with each being 6.5'' by 11''.

The kneeling seat angle and knee pad position is fixed and has been designed for body weights up to 280 lbs and should be fine for most users needs.

The Jobri F1420 Kneeling Chair has front and rear parallel supports at the base of the Kneeling Seat and these have a castor on each corner to provide maneuverability of the chair at your workstation.

Jobri Deluxe Kneeling Chair With Back

The Jobri F1425 is the deluxe version of the steel framed Jobri ergonomic Kneeling Chair. Although made from steel like the F1420 the design is quite different.

Here Jobri have opted to produce a Kneeling Chair that is pneumatic height adjustable and the design is rather like a conventional office chair which has been fitted with a knee pad and also has the option to include a height and depth adjustable back making it more supportive for users.

Looking at the F1425 from bottom to top, it is built around a 5 star swivel base which houses a gas lift which in turn attaches to the underside of the frame that incorporates the seat pad and knee pad fixing brackets.

Height adjustment is between 19'' and 22.5'' and is adjusted by means of lever fitted to the right hand of the ergonomic Kneeling Chair.

The F1425 seat pad is slightly larger at 17.5'' wide by 14.5'' deep and the knee pad is a single pad that is 16.5'' by 12''

The chair is more maneuverable by means of its swivel base and is probably the best model for computer use.

Both of Jobri's ergonomic Kneeling Seat models are really designed for static body use, that is to say that the chairs are designed such that the user adjusts the height to suit their body's ergonomic needs and once comfortable would remain in a mainly static position.

Each model carries a 3 year warranty, of the two the deluxe model is the better choice as it is much easier to adjust and the option of an adjustable back support means users can gain useful additional support particularly as they get used to using a kneeling chair initially.

On the downside choice of finish is restricted to black frame and upholstery, although this will go with the majority of decors it is a bit limiting.

Also recent user reviews of the standard version complain about fixings working loose and having to be re-tightened as well as the design of the deluxe version where some find the base gets in the way. So if you are thinking of buying these products you should bear this in mind. A practical solution for loose fixings might be to use Loctite® when assembling the chair to prevent them from working loose.
