Kneeling chairs went out of fashion, but I have no idea why. Did people feel as though the chairs looked too weird, or were the chairs not all that good for a lot of people?

Disclaimer: I found kneeling chairs to be utterly useless, probably because my legs are too short for them.

I bought one for work 6-7 years ago when they were in fashion, and used it for a short while, but found that what it did to my knees was worse than what regular chairs do to my back.

Ball chairs get very uncomfortable in the butt if I sit in them too long, but otherwise have no drawbacks.
