I decided to try the Vari Active Seat and this one will be a keeper. It makes sense that the maker of premier standing desks would be the maker of a premier stool. The Active Seat feels very sturdy. It's got some weight to it, however, it also has a great carry handle to be able to move the stool if needed. The base is solid. I returned the Uplift Starling stool because it was just too light and it would slide on my glass mat. The Active Seat stays put.
Many have said that the seat itself is hard. That is the nature of most, if not all, standing stools. The idea is to perch rather than to sit. Also, the stiffer seat reminds us to get up and move around. Nothing like a little discomfort to get us to do that. This is not a deal breaker for me.
The Active Seat also has just the right amount of movement. I can rock to stay active without fear of losing the stool from under me because of the hefty base.
The seat also comes fully assembled. Huge plus for me. For the seats I've had to return, it was a pain to disassemble and figure out how to re-box. Of course, this is a non-issue with the Vari because I will be keeping this stool.
You will pay more for this stool but it's well worth it if you work from a standing desk. Highly recommend.
I waited over a week to review this. It's my first seat of any kind that wobbles or moves and it took a little getting used to. The first couple days I was slightly sore or stiff after a full day on it.
But, even with a history of broken L2-L3 vertebrae and multiple other broken bones in my upper body, this thing hasn't ever caused any pain, and, quite the obvious I feel a lot better now after a long day at work.
If you're thinking about making the move to a product like this, I suggest getting a solidly constructed one like this one. It's been worth every penny.
Also, think about foot supports as well, I was fortunate to have something that would work in my house, but I like it much better in some positions if I have a support for my feet to be on instead of just the floor.
Update- the stool is uncomfortable at first, but after a few weeks of use it is definitely much more comfortable. I will be keeping this!

Update- the stool is uncomfortable at first, but after a few weeks of use it is definitely much more comfortable. I will be keeping this!
I've been using this chair exclusively for 6 months now, as well as making many other ergonomic improvements to my workspace. I can say my back is much stronger and in much better shape now. I can get through a whole work day without much pain and its primarily because of this chair! The quality seems excellent - I certainly have had no issues so far.
The chair tilts freely in all directions, but with some elastic resistance - basically giving you all the advantages of sitting on a yoga ball, but without the huge yoga ball behind your desk. The best position is sitting high (so your seat is well above your knees) and leaning forward with your legs extended. This puts your lower spine in a natural and stable position. For best results, one should raise the computer monitor to eye level, and avoid leaning forward as much as possible (ie. sit up straight and work directly in front of you).
This chair may not be the cheapest, but how much does back surgery cost these days? I highly recommend.

Cushion is super comfortable and the adjustments allow you to make it perfect for sitting or leaning.
