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.

Nice chair with a good seat cushion.Chair raises quite high. Bought for a yard shed with a tall working shelf.

I have a Husky stool for my workbench that has worked well for me when I have to do some work on electronics where I need to sit on it for a few hours soldering or testing a circuit on a breadboard but the top of the stool that was made of plastic was ripped off and I needed to replace it. The husky stool was never really comfortable and sometimes when something was not working the way I expected, the stool was not the kind that will allow you to sit back and take a moment to think things through. So I ordered this drafting stool because it looked comfortable and tall enough to fit my needs. This stool is indeed comfortable to sit on because it has a wide seat and the back rest helps a lot.Here are some things you may want to know:1) It is advertised as "Adjustable Foot Rest" but the only adjustments are the height of the seat and the distance between the seat and the back rest.2) It is really tall. When fully raised, the top of the seat (not the back rest) is at 36" off the floor. I am 6 foot 3 at 220 pounds and I find it difficult to climb on it when it is fully raised. When I lower it at 33 to 34 inches, it is perfect.3) The lowest height is 30 inches (floor to top of seat) and that is the typical height of a tall stool.4) It is very simple to assemble. It comes with good instructions but all you need is to put the wheels on the base, screw the mounting plate on the seat with 4 bolts and then just put the parts on top of each other. The whole process takes just a few minutes and at no time you will need a second pair of hands.5) It is fairly comfortable because the sit is 16 inches wide and the back rest really works to support you.I gave it 4 stars because one of the legs seems to be bent. Not visibly but the stool wobbles. I believe that I may be able to correct it by adding a couple of washers between the wheel and the leg. In any case, it does not feel that it is unsafe and I would not return it for such a small defect because I will be using it in my garage. But this would be unacceptable if I was using this stool inside the house.

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!!!

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