As good as I remember
Decades ago, I had one. It saved my back. The new one is even better than I remember. The knee pad design is better and more versatile than the old one was. Get one. It will save your back, too.

Easy to assemble. Doesn't always feel like the sturdiest chair, so that may be a consideration. Also, there will be a need to tighten the connections to the seat and the knee pads, from time to time. Keep that Allen key/wrench handy.
