The media could not be loaded.  Ce banc de méditation est super confortable. Son ergonomie me permet de méditer sur une longue période demeurant à l’aise. Personnellement, j’aime varié et l’utiliser en deux positions : à genou, mais également en inversant son angle, en position deep squat soutenu par le banc. La livraison a été très rapide, le lendemain, on avait le banc!This meditation bench is super comfortable. Its ergonomics allow me to meditate for a long time remaining at ease. Personally, I like variety and use it in two positions: kneeling, but also reversing the angle, in a deep squat position supported by the bench. The delivery was very fast, the next day we had the bench!

I think this little bench is quite comfortable, and is pretty good quality, but the reason I gave 3 stars instead of 5, is for the size of this bench, and even if it is good quality, the price tag is a little too high. It's three little pieces of wood and costs approximately 150 dollars Canadian. I know this meditation bench is a niche market, but the price tag is a bit too high. After I purchased this one, I found other meditation benches for a fraction of the cost. I can't speak for the quality of those benches, but often, people look at the price tag first. I feel this bench shouldn't be priced above 99 dollars.

This meditation bench has been a big disappointment for me. It is quite gentle on your neck, low back and hips. If you meditate for 5-30 minutes a day, it should be good. As for me, I regularly attend 10 day Vipassana meditation courses and sit 10-12 hours a day. I really wanted this bench to work for me. However, I found that it put too much pressure on my knees. I was getting unbearable pains on my knees after the first two days. I was forced to switch to a different bench. Moreover, every time I tried to lift the bench, the legs would come off. It was very inconvenient to re-assemble every time I switched position.

I use this for prayer meditation. I have a bulging disc that makes sitting and kneeling very challenging. I can use this for an hour or more very comfortable for most of it and only mild discomfort towards the end. Keep in mind when sitting in a chair my leg will go numb within an hour and within 5 min if kneeling. I am short 5’2” and I use a small meditation pad in front of my knees for perfect comfort. I do not know if I would need to do that if my back was not a concern.******year later update******.So I have been using this for a year now and have grown quite attached to it. It’s great. Only minor complaint is one leg slips out a little too easily. My back has been better for almost two months now and I do not need that pad i used to use in front of my knees. It’s a beautiful chair I almost want another for around the cause house I find it so comfortable to use. I still only use it as a prayer/ meditation bench in my studio.

The chair is absolutely wonderful, and it feels super great to sit on it. It is so large that my ass doesn't even take up the whole chair and I am a 240 pound man. Having said all that why am I giving this chair a 3 star review? This chair is completely immobile. You absolutely can not lift or move this chair without legs falling off of it. It is quite a frustrating to always have the legs fall apart on me. Still haven't figured out a way to move the chair that is hassle free, but for now as long as I sit on it I can not complain. For such a pricetag I would have expected a better experience however. Do yourself a favor and choose something else if you want to get meditation chair.EDIT: The SPOKO team has contacted me and the issue has been resolved :) I am now very happy and content with my chair
