5.0 out of 5 stars Great for sitting cross-legged, not just kneeling.
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022

I have arthritic knees and hips which makes meditating cross-legged directly on the floor very difficult. I usually use cushions to elevate me off the ground, but cushions are kind of finicky if you stack them because they're soft, and they're cumbersome to transport. This bench solves both those problems for me. It's sturdy and folds up for travel.

I never meditate kneeling, but sit on this cross-legged and it's far better than cushions for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2009

This is absolutely what I needed. I'm too old and stiff to sit in any of the traditional cross legged postures. This kneeling bench is perfect for my needs. I am very still while sitting so the hinges have never been a problem for me and the pillow, while thin, is a very nice addition for the price.

It took me almost a year before I finally took a chance on buying a bench and after much consideration I bought this one and could not be happier. I feel it is the best value for the money. It is so simple to build I don't understand why the others are so expensive.

3.0 out of 5 stars For almost 100 bucks the construction looks awfuly careless. I'm surprised they let it out of their shop.

The two legs are held in place with what looks like cheap hinges pounded with a hammer to tighten inwards. It folds like it should but loose when extended to 90 degree position for sitting.

the construction looks awfuly careless. I'm surprised they let it out of their shop.

I had a friend make one of the last ones I had out of wood and it was sturdier and free.

I didn't send it back but was vaguely disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, not perfect
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2012
Verified Purchase
I bought this as a comfortable alternative to sitting cross-legged while I meditate, even on a pillow, as my legs get very uncomfortable after just a short period of time of sitting cross-legged. This has helped me tremendously in that department. I now sit on this on top of a doubled-over yoga mat with a thick, soft blanket on top, and this seems to stave off the leg pain and numbness. However, the bench itself was manufactured slightly off: one of the legs doesn't open out all the way due to poor mitering. It's still useable, just a bit annoying. For the price, I expected perfect mitering. I am still happy enough with the product to continue using it, and I would still recommend it to other meditators, especially beginners and those seeking for an alternative to the norm.

Meditators/Buddhists out there interested in, or sure of the "seiza" style of sitting should find this bench ideal. Very comfortable and facilitates a proper straight-back position. Comes with a nice pad; is foldable/easily transportable and is quite sturdy and well-crafted in hardwood.
Very much worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but elegant.

I ordered this bench after an injury to my knee temporarily prevented me from sitting in a traditional meditation asana. I have always been impressed with Hugger Mugger quality and wanted to try this.

If you want a folding bench, unadorned but with a beautiful, natural simplicity, then this is perfect.

In every way, I could not be more pleased with the aesthetics and quality. Highly recommend this.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit squeaky
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2007
Verified Purchase
If you meditate in a group and move at all during meditation, this bench might be a bit too squeaky. It's got metal hinges (come to think of it, maybe you could grease them a bit to get rid of the squeak without making a mess) to fold it down. That also makes it a little less stable.
If you don't think you need to be able to fold it down, you're probably better off with a solid construction without hinges.
