My experience is that it is a night and day difference to adjust all the angles of the chair to fit your body frame.

If you have pressure on your knees with these modern kneeling chairs it is possibly not correctly fitted.

When I sit on mine my body weight is distributed between my butt, thighs and shins equally, I am not pressing down on my knees in any measurable way. What I do feel is that my spine assumes a completely neutral position, like the feeling of balancing a weight on top of a long pole.

For full disclaimer I have no idea what (if any) will be the long term consequences of this on my knees. But to be brutally honest I would much rather have a full knee replacement in my old age than a spinal surgery/disk replacement.
