Customer photo review of Gravity Balans
Robert A.
Great active chair. Most chairs are so boring or Lazy. This gives you so many options. It said it would ship in 2-3 days but took a week but was worth the wait. Even then, that's super fast. I remember things taking 8-10 weeks back in the comic book days. Assembly was hard but fun to work through. The head rest clips are super hard to attach. Luckily I had a little crowbar like thing since I couldn't do it with my fingers. I am strong but they are really tight. The one footrest I couldn't fit th...

Nicole Marie C.
I’ve wanted this chair for years, but was always hesitant to pull the trigger. I naturally move around a lot and when I worked in-office, my co-workers always pointed out all the crazy ways I’d sit in a chair. Phil Zen was amazing — they sent samples quickly, put together a quote, adjusted it so I could apply discounts and were responsive throughout the entire process. Very happy that I finally got this chair and it’s definitely improving my posture!

So comfortable, so modern and classic at the same time, and most importantly, so good for my posture and long-term health! I’m very pleased with my purchase and I recommend others do the same.

Have been using this chair for the past few days and really love the support it provides in so many different sitting positions. Phil Zen was great with the ordering and shipping process.

Easy setup and adjustment instructions. It only took me 5-10min to put it together. It feels really solid and I love that it can extend to match my standing desk or shrink down and slide underneath. Decided to go with the ring attachment as well for my fatigued feet.

Out of this world sitting experience! I am using it to play guitar, especially foot support is making things easier. My wife uses it for her ceramic work. Can not understand why this is not all around everywhere! Recommended!

Customer photo review of Variable Balans
Lauryn B.
Assembly was very straightforward, though one of my knee pads must have had a wooden-peg-hole drilled too deeply because it devoured the peg entirely. The remaining peg and screw seem to be doing just fine at holding the knee pad where it needs to be. I'm honestly surprised it is holding my weight so well, I am a large lady (248 lbs, maybe? Size 26 in pants, 3X in leggings), so I half expected it to fall apart when I sat on it, but it didn't even creak. It's such a quiet chair, too! The whole re...

Customer photo review of SoFi Active Chair
Francois C.
This HÅG SoFi chair looks and feels premium. It was very easy to install. There are so many ergonomic adjustments under (and around) the chair that it's almost overwhelming at first, but you can truly make the chair fit you the way you want it to. The manual doesn't say much, but there are videos online with better instructions. If you let it, the chair rocks back AND forth smoothly. You can't lean back quite as far as in some "racing style" chairs, but you get a wide range of tilt, and it's ea...

Alix D.
We love this ball. The Earth design is gorgeous and the workmanship on making the cover is amazing. The seams do not distort the Earth image at all. We have used exercise balls for both sitting and exercise in the past. Especially for sitting, this ball is exceptionally comfortable and definitely more comfortable than a plain ball. It is also easy to use for specific exercises as well. Since receiving it is always out and use. As you can see from the picture, it definitely promotes excel...

I had terrible lower back pain, and it took months to figure out that it was due to my work chair. The HAG Capisco chair has changed my life. Back pain is now a small fraction of what it used to be. The Phil Zen Team's customer service (HAG also) is first class! The chair is well made and of good quality. The leather is very nice. I really liked the saddle option. This Capisco chair was worth every penny.

Jo L.
This chair arrived in a box that was so badly beaten up it was basically open, which was disappointing (and concerning) given the price. Also, one of the pieces of hardware wasn’t machined so that it could take a screw. Customer support was quick to get a replacement sent. Having said all of that, it’s a great chair (very high quality, and extremely comfortable), and it just makes me smile.

This is my second of the varier chairs. One in my home office, one in my work office. I had a sacral fracture last year and this has helped me work through that injury. I love this chair.

LOVE love love my Hapisco!! I am a habitual fidgeter and the first few moments in the Hapisco just felt immediately more right than any other chair! The Ace Aqua color is even more beautiful in person than I imagined!! BIG thanks to the team at PhilZen and Steph especially for their help, I'm so in love with this chair and its color! 💙🦋

I am a fidgety person to begin with and the Capisco chair is like a big fidget toy. I am constantly switching positions, whether I go to standing, sitting, rocking, side-saddle or reverse-saddle positions. I ordered the black leather which really gives it a premium look and feel.

The backapp had been an amazing addition to my cube at work. I'm able to go home after a day of coding without back soreness and with less fatigue. I enjoy changing the ball height throughout the day depending on what I'm doing. Overall it's been fantastic.

Ellis M.
I won't lie. This was not easy to put together for a 73-year-old lawyer who hasn't handled tools in quite a while. But the instructions were good and the desk is rocksolid. It moves up and down very smoothly and it is gorgeous. Well worth the effort.

Thrilled with this kneeling chair, looks great and is incredibly functional. The design allows for the chair to be used in a variety of positions and has dramatically improved my posture while working at a desk. The height is perfect for a standard desk.

Claudio S.
The chair was quick and easy to assemble. It allows me to sit without slouching and the back support helps a lot especially since you can adjust it to your preference. I was able to adjust the knee pads also to my comfort level and it allowed me to adjust to this chair without any problems. I love this chair!

Charting medical records after a long day nursing, is a whole new experience now with my Capisco saddle chair. I hope to do hospice nursing professionally until I am 80 years old. Keeping a big heart, an open mind, re-inventing every day, plus my Capisco chair, can make that possible. J 🌼

Jenny L.
I absolutely love this chair!! It's my first week using it, and it's already a huge improvement from my old Herman Miller chair that I could never get right. I had back pain and would always want to move around, which this chair is perfect for. I was worried the seat area would be small and not comfortable for sitting the whole day, but as a 5'4" 150lb woman, it is much bigger than I thought with lots of extra room! The saddle makes it less awkward for my thighs, which I realize might have been ...

Keith K.
This is the absolute best chair for my office! Well worth the wait during this crazy pandemic! It fits my body very well (I am 6 feet tall and a "big guy"). The unique seat recline/tilt feature is what makes this chair so comfortable....simply the best chair ever! Phil was outstanding from a customer service perspective and he was very helpful!

Customer photo review of Variable Balans Monochrome Kneeling Chair
Anum U.
After working from home for a while and realizing I needed a new office chair, I decided to buy the Variable Balans kneeling chair. I took a risk by purchasing it without having used it previously. And the risk paid off. It encourages a fun and creative way to sit during a stagnant work day; the kneeling posture actually feels quite natural, and has been doing wonders for my posture without making it feel burdensome. With other chairs, I would have had to mentally remind myself to 'fix' my postu...

Very happy with my purchase of the Thatsit chair. The office chair that I was using at home was giving me hip and knee pain to the point that I actually avoided working at my desk. I was nervous about spending such a large amount of money on an office chair, but after having used it, I am very happy with my purchase. The chair is very comfortable, sturdy with good padding, and I love that it rocks. I was debating between the Variable Balans kneeling chair and the Thatsit chair, but am glad I got...

I purchased this chair for reading but found it more comfortable than my Herman Miller Embody chair for desk work too! Amazing chair with outrageously good ergonomics. This is good design embodied (sorry, Herman Miller)!

I’ve had other brands of living walls in the past, the Live Picture I seems overall to be a superior design with better water flow and a large reservoir, and more easily removable plants for maintenance. Phil Zen was fantastic, the Live Picture I arrived well packaged and in good time. A small issue with the shipper was resolved for me immediately. Five stars all around! Thanks!

I am so grateful that this chair available again for purchase. It is very comfortable, and allows mobility while seated. I can sit without fatigue for long periods and get up with ease. The price was right too.

Emma C.
Getting this chair is probably one of the best decisions I have made. I always struggle with my posture, and at home will generally find a way to tuck my legs underneath me when I'm sitting down. This chair helps me mimic that position without ruining my posture. The chair was easy to assemble and is the high quality I expected. I also received excellent customer service. There was a mix-up where I was going to be charged additional fees upon delivery, but this was resolved within minutes of me ...

Love my kneeling chair. Incredibly easy to set up and all the tools are provided for you with a simple instruction sheet. Love the range of colors that were provided, it was hard to choose. I went with the classic black with natural wood. Definitely one of my favorite purchases this year and customer service was fast to respond with any questions I had. I have been using this chair for a few days now and my back has never felt better especially with working from home and being on my desk most of...

Spent good amount of time researching and I’m glad I choose the quality product. Very well made and great quality. Has some flex which is normal and no concerns over ability of product to hold my weight. The chair does take some getting use to but I can sit for a couple of hours at a time. It is definitely helping my posture which is one of the reasons I purchased. Had a shipping hiccup but it was much appreciated that when you call you get straight through to Phil who resolves the matter....

Worth the wait, customer service is amazing. The chair is beautiful. Still getting the hang of it which is an odd sentence I know, but it’s a unique sitting experience. I work 8 hr shifts at home in front of a computer and I switch between the chair and standing. Haven’t touched my old chair since. Also pretty easy to clean. I have three dogs so that’s a major plus in my house.

Shipping was so fast and I love the monochrome look! I've had this chair for 11 days now, and I LOVE IT. I was hesitant at first thinking maybe I will miss having a "regular" chair. However I find myself thinking everyday "ugh I can't wait to get home and sit on my chair". I don't work form home but I do sit on my desk playing computer games for long hrs, I love that I can move positions easily. Also this chair is great for shoulder strain, I've always had shoulder pain from siting in regular ch...

This chair is perfect for doing computer or art work. It allows me to comfortably maintain a good spinal and cervical alignment without a forward head posture, and enables knees to be lower than hips, which is better for hip flexors. It also allows you to sit various ways, which is more fun and relaxing.

This chair is well worth the price! I'm 6ft2 and work from home since the pandemic began. I was previously using a Dragonn brand kneeling chair, that was just too small (too narrow and too much pressure on the knees; the padding also deteriorated from regular daily use). I also had the tendency to lean forward after long hours. This chair is superior in every way; it's much wider, with improved and adjustable seat depth. My legs sit more open and there's less strain on the hip flexors. Rocking b...

first, assembling my chair was a lot of fun. the simplicity of the design is well expressed when you put your chair together. second, the rocker is a terrific chair when watching tv, reading, etc. i already have a hag capisco for my work area, and i wanted the rocker for relaxing. that said, it offers a welcome treat from standing, so it makes a very plausible option as a work chair. it’s a great chair for sure!

I have been in more car accidents that I would have liked to be, so I always fidgeted due to constant back pain. Since transitioning to my new role, and working from home I noticed how often I would slouch or found myself constantly adjusting how I sat. Did lots of research before purchasing, and could not get over all the benefits of what using a "Kneeling Chair" could do for your mental/physical health. Not only do I feel more productive and focused, but I find myself with less back pain, a...

I wish this chair came into my life sooner! It is a game changer. I suffer from back and neck pain pain from poor posture and terrible work habits. I’ve had this chair for a couple of weeks now and my back already feels much better. Sitting on it for a couple of hours straight automatically adjusts your posture, similar to wearing a posture correcting brace. Definitely worth the price!

Love my Variable Balans chair from Phil Zen! It’s the perfect complement to my newly upgraded ergonomic home workstation. Best money I’ve spent this year. Keeps me moving, comfortable, and improves my posture. And since I’m working from home in a small apartment in a big city, I love that the Variable Balans is less obtrusive and nicer to look at than your typical office chair. Phil Zen was amazing to order from — communicative, fast, easy, and great pricing. What more could you want? My only re...

Customer photo review of NewHeights Elegante XT with Voice Control
Mark K.
This desk screams quality. The box came pretty beat up since its parts are heavy, but upon inspection, everything was in perfect shape. All of the aluminum parts are built like a tank (the legs, crossbar, and the steel raceway for cords). The only nitpick I have is that the pilot holes on the table top did not line up perfectly (they were close enough that I didn't need to drill any new holes). Since I plan on replacing the top with hardwood eventually, I don't really care too much about tha...
