This wheeled saddle stool is surprisingly comfortable, and actually does encourage one to sit up straight, maintaining good posture. I’ve tried using it at a computer desk, as a shop stool, and my most likely routine usage – a guitar stool. I’m just a hobby musician, but trust me – prolonged sessions of practice and/or studio time can take its toll on one’s spine if one’s posture is poor (remember, you’ve only got one back). This saddle stool does indeed make a positive difference.
The saddle stool arrived several days ahead of the estimated delivery date (via UPS). Packaging was intact, no damage.
Assembly was quite easy, no tools needed . . . (well, almost – more on that later).
There are four components; a black plastic base, five plastic casters, a hydraulic cylinder, and the seat assembly with height adjustment arm. The five casters fit into the (rather sturdy) plastic base with hand pressure; split rings snug each into place. The hydraulic cylinder is a simple press fit into the base, and feels quite secure. The seat assembly is a simple press fit onto the top shaft of the hydraulic cylinder.
Now, a word of caution . . . It is not reflected on the single page of instructions/diagrams; but, be certain to orient the saddle assembly so the height adjustment arm is where you want it as you would sit on the saddle (right or left hand access) before you fit/press the saddle onto the hydraulic cylinder shaft.
Trust me, once pressed into place that saddle is secure.
Of course, one can correct such a mistake by loosening/removing the four (4) 10mm bolts that secure the steel seat mounting plate to the underside of the seat. Rotate the mounting plate as needed and secure with the 10mm bolts – all fixed. You need not ask how I came to know this . . .
The casters roll easily on hard surface flooring, leaving no marks. They roll almost as well on carpet (didn’t try it on shag), but a plastic carpet protector pad might be wise. The stool feels stable and does not rock, even at its maximum height (about 23”/5.85cm) on carpet. Seat padding is firm but comfortable. The leatherette (vinyl?) seat cover is taut without any ripples, pulls, or imperfections. A lone double-stitched seam crosses the front surface of the seat; another runs along the front edge – neither interferes with the stool’s overall comfort.
At its lowest height (about 17”/4.3cm), the overall size of the stool seems considerably diminished and easily tucks away under a table, in a closet, etc. If space is a consideration, that’s pretty cool.
Overall, I am very happy with this saddle stool. Its potential uses are limited only by one’s imagination.
If you’re looking for this style stool, I found this to be a solid product, worthy of recommendation.
