BackJack Floor Chair, Regular, Royal Blue

These chairs were used with everyone for a five day workshop. I thought my back would hurt because I have a long history of low back pain. I was fine!!. We used large floor pillows for more butt and back support. I bought this right away when I got home. The ones at the seminar must have been the extra large, because these are small. I am petite and this is small. I need extra cushion with chair only because I have a bony butt. I think everyone would need extra padding as the seat squishes flat. I have no spacial sense so I had to put together and take apart a few times to get it right. The instructions are clear but, what can I say, I'm an idiot. I bought cushions to make this chair work. I use it in my living room to read, meditate, watch TV. No back pain with this chair. My furniture now creates back pain but the chair does not. Home Beautiful would not give my living room a star because it's not cute, but, it works and I don't have to buy new furniture. I will keep this chair and probably buy a larger size as well.

Really nice product. Only takeaway is that the curved connector pieces tend to slide out while you are placing the fabric cover over the whole frame. As a result, you just have to work with them to reconnect while the frame pieces are in the fabric cover. Not a huge deal, though. Still good quality. I love the titled seat cushion so you don't slide off the front of it. It also makes sense to be tilted since the chair tilts back somewhat when you relax into it. I just recently used it for a 2-day workshop where we were seated on the floor the entire time - I purchased it ahead of time for the workshop - and it worked very well. The frame pieces, even when not connected, are admittedly a bit awkward to carry, but I used a large tote bag and it was fine. You will like it!

Received quickly and it's a nice true red, however, not for me and returning. I thought this was adjustable and easy to fold down to travel, It is not, you have to remove the cover to take it apart and then would have to set it up again and put the cover on. The set up is not too difficult, but the cloth cover is very tight to get over the frame and could rip in time because it is fits tightly against the frame. I'm petite, small frame and 113 pounds and do not mind the flimsy foam seat, but most others would be uncomfortable on this after sitting for 30 minutes. With my weight, it got pretty flat in no time. I do not think this is made from the same company that made the true BackJack chairs. If it is, then they will lose a lot of customers who are truly on a spiritual path and knows what this product should be.

I love the concept of backjacks, if I could improve anything would be to make more attractive colors... I ended up choosing a neutral beige because there were so so few to choose from!

Well, I do like the floor chairs. However I thought I was ordering the folding version, but that's okay. I wonder if there is a way to upgrade my non-folding version to a folding version by buying the appropriate part?I watched the online video to learn how to assemble the chairs since the instruction sheet really was not much help. It should include an illustration of the chair in and cover in a position that demonstrates how it actually goes onto the frame.I sat in the finished chair and it seems comfortable enough. I'll see how I do after a long meditation.

I first found out about Back Jack chairs at a meditation retreat. These floor seats are life savers, both great for the back and incredibly portable. I keep one in my yoga room and keep another in the trunk of my car in case I need to pull it out at an event for extra support. They are lightweight enough to take with me or move from room to room, but solid enough to be durable. The cushioned seat adds an extra level of comfort, and the back is ergonomically designed so I know I'm not slouching or causing damage to my spine.I have the maroon ones, which go great with my neutral decor, and I find my friends gravitate towards the floor seats more than they do my couches when they come over. My yoga teacher friends notice that they really support great posture as well. Truly multipurpose!

The chair quality is rickety. A glamorized folding lawn chair perhaps. If not expecting more than this then it is fine. Since this purchase I found another floor chair I'm completely satisfied with. I only wanted a minimal legless back rest/support and the other chair functions for that perfectly.-I'm 5'5" & weigh 130lbs-I got the regular sized Back Jackto be used for meditation & occasional lounging on the floor-the metal tubing hits my back at the sides and shoulders and makes it very uncomfortable-it isn't sturdy and isn't very easy to fold either, not so convenientThe description simply overstates it's construction very much. Communication with the seller has been completely a waste of time. I was told that I should never have thought it would be a massive chair. I was told that any problem was mine and they want to charge me double shipping plus restocking fees and also simply have cancelled my request for return altogether, blaming it on my lack of response though I have communicated on four different occassions, each time receiving argument, difraction and denial of any service. They also tagged all email dialogue with me as requiring their 'special sauce' using what appears to be some in-house labelling system which I found offensive and bizarre. They seem to have no motivation at all to be fair or even civil. The chair is disappointing at best.

Purchased this as a gift for my husband because he likes to sit on the floor but needs support for his back. It does what it is supposed to and is comfortable enough. Depending on your height, the bar may hit the back of your head or neck but it is not horrible. It does not completely fold up so tucking it out of sight is not super easy but can be done. We have not had it for long so cannot comment on cleaning it or how long it holds up.
