The Original Idea
After 5 or 6 prototypes, we put our leaning idea on Kickstarter and got $100,000 in pre-orders. We were even invited onto Shark Tank!
We knew there had to be a better way to get work done. The answer is LEANING!
After 5 or 6 prototypes, we put our leaning idea on Kickstarter and got $100,000 in pre-orders. We were even invited onto Shark Tank!
But we weren't satisfied. We knew what LeanChair could be. So we spent 5 years and built over 100 prototypes to get it right.
Now, LeanChair is ready for YOU. It's super strong and amazingly comfortable. Assembled from high-quality materials in the USA.
As a software developer, I spent 10-12 hours a day sitting in my fancy $1,000 "ergonomic" chair.
But one day - after years of this - my body hit its limit. I just couldn't sit anymore. Not one more minute!
I tried lots of different standing desks, but standing is surprisingly painful. And my constant weight-shifting and fidgeting - to deal with the pain - made it hard to concentrate. So I thought, "If I can't sit - and I can't stand - now what?"
As an experiment, I tried LEANING... and loved it! I found that it combines the best parts of sitting AND standing.
Five years and over 100 prototypes later, the "leaning workstation" has finally been perfected.

All of LeanChair's hardware features evolved over many years of testing.
Here are a few of the major components:
The built-in headrest is completely adjustable and comfortably supports your head while you work.
LeanChair's high-quality upholstered cushions are firm but comfortable, and available in a variety of colors.
LeanChair's all steel, heavy-duty frame will accommodate anyone up to 6'6", and weighing up to 400 lbs.
We think 28 degrees is the leaning "sweet spot." You get a nice sense of reclining, without strain.
The built-in swing-open desk can be placed on either side of LeanChair, and can be set to any height.
LeanChair's retractable legrest and adjustable footrest lets you experiment with different postures during the day.

We offer FREE shipping to the US & Canada.
For everyone else... send your full shipping address to us at and we'll send you a quote.
Yes. We accept orders from anywhere in the world, but LeanChair weighs nearly 100 pounds and can be expensive to ship internationally.
If you're willing to pay our actual shipping costs, we'll happily send you one. Send your full shipping address to us at and we'll send you a quote.
If your color combo is in stock, we'll ship within 24 hours, so approximately 4-5 business days to your door in the US. Slightly longer for Canada. For the rest of the world, it's really hard to predict, but we'll provide a tracking number so you can monitor it.
Since the cost of producing each LeanChair is higher than the highest Kickstarter pledge, each new order helps underwrite the production of LeanChairs for our Kickstarter backers. So the speed with which you receive yours will be a function of how successful we are at production and marketing. We will ship them in roughly numerical order using your backer number, and will alert you via email to confirm your address prior to shipment.
Portions come pre-assembled, but you'll have to do final assembly yourself. There'd be no way to ship it otherwise. The assembly instructions are clear and straightforward. And we include the tools you need to put it together. We also assembly walk-through videos on Youtube.
A customer may return LeanChair for a refund * within thirty (30) days of receipt if...
