great chair
our unit of 9+ nurses all agree this is a great chair, you feel safe and secure thanks to the handles. seat cushion is comfortable and you feel stable, great leg support with the foot rest at the bottom. would recommend this product.

Pretty flimsey
We purchased 4 of these. These are better for smaller stature guys. If you have some larger fellows, these will not work. You feel like you're a skyscraper waving in the wind! Smaller guys don't mind them, but the bigger guy writing the review is not as happy.

Does the job, other co-workers ready to buy also!
The chair does the job, fits my standing desk perfectly. The seat may be a hair narrower than the average office chair, just a hair. The back is not adjustable, but it's not uncomfortable, as I'm standing half the time. After putting the chair together, the way the seat set on the that center hydraulic thing, it seemed to be too wobbly. I worried, and tried not to take ...

Slightly Wobbly
Very comfortable stool, wobbles a little bit perhaps due to the longer piston. Not enough to be annoying. The arms are thick plastic, perhaps made of polyethylene and they can flex a bit. Will be interesting to see how well they hold up over time.
Overall, a decent stool for the price and one of the few drafting stools that have arms.

Perfect!
My craft/sewing room has work benches set up throughout the work space so I needed a bar height chair that was comfortable and easily moved around the room. I decided that a drafting stool would be the ideal solution. My local Staples didn't have one in stock that was in my price range so the sales clerk helped me find this one and ordered it through an on-line purchase...

Park bench
This chair has no bounce or spring, feels like you are sitting on wood. Back rest is stiff no movement at all. Very uncomfortable.

Overall this chair serves its purpose. The arm rests are a little "in the way" but other than that this is a nice chair!

great chair
Two ladies in our office put four chairs together in about an hour? We messed up on the 1st chair. We put the metal foot ring upside down and once it's in you can't undo it. The chairs work best on carpet.
