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.

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

I like this chair, got it for my garage to use at the work bench. Easy to assemble, comfortable, seems to be well made. As other reviewers have said this chair can go pretty high. Not sure why anyone would use it at that height, go figure. The lowest setting is comfortable and if I go a bit higher than that it works well for my work bench height also. The foot rest is not adjustable. Not sure why it says that on box and in the description of this chair... the foot rest does not move in any way. The chair itself moves up and down using a hydraulic cylinder, and you can adjust the back of the seat's height up or down using a knob.

When I went looking for a shop seat I made sure to type in large and big person. I am putting this error on my end and not the seat. I'm 6'6" and built like a football lineman.It built easy. Feels pretty sturdy. Looks nice and for the most part is pretty comfortable for long sits. It just feels small when I sit on it. Like I'm sitting on an edge of something instead of a seat. Going to figure out what I can attach to the top to make it feel more like I'm not going to constantly slide off.Again, my issue. The chair is great

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

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!!!

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’ve been in the construction industry for decades now. Given my small size, have struggled with office chairs all being designed for a large male. I used to have multiple chairs I’d alternate using throughout the day. After suffering a pulmonary embolism due to a DVT blood clog in my leg, I found out why every chair was so uncomfortable. I tried the stand up desk thing after that, but ultimately a drafting chair with an adjustable foot ring did the trick. When I setup my own home office, I knew they’re pricy, so I guess I got super lucky finding this one. It appeared to arrive used. That was disappointing. However, I did get a great deal on it, so I assembled it (no instructions were included). It was pretty self explanatory and easy to assemble.I gotta say, this is one sturdy and comfortable chair, better than ANY drafting chair I’ve ever had in a corporate office. I can’t believe the quality of it! It’s just so comfortable and fits me perfectly! I absolutely recommend this chair.
