About the solution
“The Ergochair for Little People adjust so that the backrest supports your back while at the same time allowing your knee to bend at the edge of the seat. You can also adjust the height of the chair to raise up to a standard height desk or lowered to a reduced height desk. Whatever height you choose, your feet are supported by an adjustable footrest”, it says on the official website.
