K&MKonig & Meyer 14045.000.55 - Performance Stool - Ergonomic Seat Adjust Height/Angle - Adjust Footrest Position - Professional Grade for all Musicians - German Made - Black Imitation Leather

Yea.. it's not cheap. But it is well designed with top notch materials. Height adjustment and seat adjustment are very good. Seat is actually comfortable. A lot more than a flat bench or stool. And material feels a lot better than a hard surface. Folds up easy and not too heavy to take out to a gig. I use it for guitar and saxophone. Looking into the back brace now. I had high expectations as they were exceeded. Great performance stool.

This is a great seat that you can sit in for hours. It folds up easily. Its a 5 star for comfort and sturdiness.However, for the price, a couple of other things would be nice. It would be nice if the seat could slide back a bit (like a bike seat on a commercial grade Keiser exercise bike). The foot rest also could stand for a couple more holes up higher.I am nit picking… its a great seat I will have for years.

Perfect for task, super stable and comfortable, plus compact and transportable. A real winner!

First off...I am a big guy at 6'5" and pushing 300lbs. Needless to say I wanted a stool that was sturdy enough but also adjustable enough. I wanted this for Double Bass, especially when I am standing at long rehearsals. However, I was very hesitant based on the price and looking to go with something cheaper. After a lot of looking (and reading reviews) my wife talked me into this one (which was also highly rated at my favorite online double bass retailer...but they did not offer a version without the backrest). It came well packed, and other than attaching the footrest it was fully assembled. The biggest challenge (trial and error) was finding a good height for both the stool and the footrest. I eventually played it for awhile only to lower it a bit more and bingo...the perfect setup. I can now transition quickly from sitting to standing with ease.The saddle shape and cushion is excellent, as is the build quality. I also love how it folds and is easy to transport. When sitting is it rock solid and I am fully supported. Note that earlier I mentioned backrest. I didn't order one with it due to 1)cost and 2)a review that mentioned the backrest made it less portable. After using this about two weeks now I am glad I didn't buy the backrest. I find the position I have doesn't need it, and I can see it would make it much less portable. Still, I can easily add it if my back demands it down the road.Finally, the adjustability is excellent. I have regular height stools for playing guitar (about 24") and am running this right at 30" and it is perfect for DB. Recall I am 6'5". I could raise this much higher, but even a few inches higher and I was having to raise myself up to get on the stool (I have a 34" inseam). At 30" I just sit back with no issues and easily stand up while playing.So, if you are like me and a bit put off by the price, don't be. This one is totally worth it and will get a lot of use. It has a 5 year warranty that gives me piece of mind as well.

Extremely durable. And very comfortable! I gave it 4 stars cuz I wish I could tilt the seat back just a notch. It almost feels like it’s tilted forward when it’s in its flattest setting. I also find myself sitting on the back ridge of the seat. But it’s way comfortable, so I’m a happy owner.

This seat is simply comfortable for hours on end. I do recommend the optional back rest.I did eye surgery for 35 years and used many different styles of stools. Nothing compares to this one. It makes me eager to sit down and practice.

Pleasantly surprised at the robust construction. Origin country is Germany, this is no shoddy made in China piece of junk. It costs a lot more that others offered, but it's worth it. Have done two 4 hour gigs so far and no complaints. It's fully adjustable to your height and is very comfortable.

Stool seat is comfortable but rubber legs keep falling off. Contacted seller and will sell new parts but won't replace parts that should stay on stool after 3 months...Not good customer service for a $324 seat and rubber feet are less than $5 to replace...Buy Elsewhere !!!
