AmazonBasics Multi-Purpose Adjustable Drafting Spa Bar Stool with Foot Rest and Wheels - Black

I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people's reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: I needed a stool or chair for my workshop because my Old Craftsman Bar Stool was getting worn out. My old bar stool was uncomfortable and now that I'm older, it had become almost miserable to sit for any length of time. Because I just piddle around in my shop on small projects after work, I wasn't thinking of anything more than replacing it with another thin cushioned bar stool. But with retirement looming, I decided to get something that was comfortable also this time. SO MANY to choose form, that I spend hours finding them and reading reviews. Most all came down to the same thing...UNCOMFORTABLE. Then I found this chair. I brushed it off at first, because of the word CHAIR and I really thought just a stool would be fine for the use I give it. But then a Stool need to be picked up to move it and I found I needed to move it all the time in my small workshop. Then because I'm older, I realized a little back support would be kind of nice also. Next thing I knew, I decided to take a chance on this chair/stool ... and boy am I glad I did. Super easy to build. Actually the instructions blew me away with how clear and LARGE they were. So easy. But I have built many desk chairs over the years ,and this was less effort than does, so it should be easy for me. I love that it made of mostly METAL. Even the base is solid metal. My desk chairs are plastic bases/Legs. But wow the comfort I felt when I completed it and sat down. PERFECT height and adjustable height. The foot ring does not adjust, but sits in a fixed position. As someone who has had an adjustable Foot rest ring on chairs before, i can say they are impossible to keep in the position you want them in. They always slide down and scrape the metal tube as they go. This chair will not have that flaw, and I like where it sits at. The little back rest hits exactly where I needed it too. But the thick cushioned seat is the best part. So comfortable. My butt does not sink down and touch the plywood seat base like almost all cheaper stools. I hope it lasts as long as a desk chair, because I will feel I got an awesome bargain. I highly recommend. Good luck.

Comfortable, sturdy chair, I use to cut hair with, wish it would adjust lower, otherwise very happy with it

Seat cushion is very comfortable. Stool l turns and moves across the floor with ease.Great product for the price.

Comfy workbench stool. Surprisingly good quality for Amazon brand. Easy to put together.

First, while the chair comes in parts (7 total plus a knob and 4 bolts), it took me about 15 minutes to put it together and that's only because I wasn't in a hurry! I'm a typical guy (I REALLY DISLIKE READING INSTRUCTIONS) because I view it as a sign of weakness!😂😂😂 Although, the pictures in the instruction manual are large and easy to interpret which made it easy to assemble without reading the instructions anyway.Second, the chair is quite comfortable with a very well padded cushion! It is well made and sturdy. In addition, and the primary reason I decided on acquiring this particular chair, is because it was one of the few, in the price range I was looking at, where the seat had a maximum height of approximately 34".Third, while the castors that come with the chair seem well made, I decided (in advance of even purchasing the chair) to use wheels sold by "The Office Oasis", which I also found through Amazon, because they are based on a Roller Blade style wheel which results in a remarkably smooth movement. I went with this type of wheel because I purchased the chair specifically for use in my shop which has a cement floor and is fairly large with multiple workbenches. Using these wheels allows me to move from one workbench to any other workbench quite easily and quickly!I could not be more pleased with this chair, especially considering the price and I highly recommend it!!!

I really like this and it is comfortable.

It seemed great, but I'm a tall person and it's just short of being low enough to fit under my relatively tall desk. Otherwise, good construction. Good performance.

I was concerned that this stool was going to be too high for my needs, based on other reviewers who kept warning me that it was a very high stool. But I'm glad to say it is not really any higher that I expected. I had been using one of those wooden backless bar stools from the typical bigbox store, and I was looking for something in the same height (which is 29"). This Amazon Basics stool adjusts so that the top of the seat is at 28" up to 33.5" (pictured, compared to my existing stool). It is definitely taller than a counter stool though (which i think is 24").The seat padding is ample (so far, anyway). It's pretty stable, although I'm using it on office carpet. I could probably force it to tip over while sitting on it, but I'd have to work at it. The mechanism seems solid; the stool in general has a little bit of play between the pieces, but I wouldn't call it wobbly...seems apt for a $100 Amazon Basics stool. The foot rest is NOT adjustable, so keep that in mind. The distance of the backrest from the seat is slightly adjustable, maybe an inch or so, although it works for me. I will say that the top of the backrest hits me mid-spine...not a problem for me, but I could see it being an issue for people who want something making contact on their upper back as well.I've only had it a few hours, but it looks like it will work for me.
