Ergonomically Correct Chair of the Future?

Too bad we didn’t think of this first, huh?
Introducing the Kneelsit chair. This chair is customized to each person’s height and weight so that no adjustments are necessary. Reportedly, this chair takes the pressure off the spine and lower back to alleviate pain and correct posture. All for the low price of...$499? What economic crisis?!
As an office manager in a chiropractic and physical therapy clinic, this chair seems like a genius idea for preventive and maintenance care. But let’s return back to earth; what employer is going to pay for this? We need a retailer like Wal-Mart (as much as it pains me to say it) to jump on this train and produce it for an affordable price.
Does your company value ergonomics in the workplace? Would any of your employers purchase this chair?

Lauren, what do the chiropractors think?
The kneelsit website offers the opinions of professionals but I don't see much hard evidence. I'd like to try it though. I've been meaning to buy a new comfortable chair for ages.
