Shape Posture Seating Customer Service

Read the reviews of some of our Customers.

Just to let you know I am very pleased with my SPS3 - took me an hour to set up - fitted a standard desktop with no trouble at all -plugged it in and it works - very solid construction and smooth operation (goes up so high I can almost walk underneath...) Same quality as the one I use at the office - such a relief to be standing up finally! Instructions were very clear and set up is no more difficult than any standard ikea item (simpler I should say) - Delivery was very quick and the package a lot smaller than I expected. Extremely pleased! Happy to order from you again.

Dr Johanna Motzkau
