Nice Solid Chair

When you weight 300 lbs like me (God help you) you need something solid and dependable under you. This chair does just that. It doesn't fold completely flat like some of the others but it does fold up enough to transport okay. I like it a lot and feel it is a great buy at Sweetwater Music..

i just wish bought it earlier

It is just silly not to have this chair. After you sit in it you feel like an idiot because you didn't have sooner.

Good Throne for Guitar

Sweetwater advice was very helpful with this purchase. Nice throne for use when playing guitar. Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Folds up in a snap. Just the throne that I was looking for. Sweetwater service and delivery always the best.

Great throne for muli-instumentalist

Very versatile stool with backrest. I've had a severe spinal injury and this really. helps me get through longer gigs. I play keyboards, saxes, flutes, clarinet and guitar, and this gives good support in a semi-standing or sitting position allowing for good breath support and comfort.
The only drawback I've experienced is that it's not designed to break down for travel and therefore takes up a lot of room in the van or trailer.

I just LUV my new gig stand

I frequently play gigs that last more than 2 hours...and because of a bad lower back (jumping out of helicopters in the Marines years ago) after a long gig end up with lower back pain. This seat/stand is a God-send, it gives me back support and I don't have the pains now that I used to have after a 2- or 3- hour gig. I play guitar, mandolin, and hammered dulcimer, so I use it for several different venues and it just works. Best purchase I've made in awhile, and Sweetwater's price is better than anyone else's. If I could change ANYTHING about it, I would make it more collapsible, or foldable, but it fits nicely in my RAV-4 among my other gear, so I won't complain about it.

Throne with Backrest

I am a beginner bass player and a big guy, over 300 lbs, and up to this time I had been playing in a computer chair. I felt that I was resting my left arm too much on the arm rests and was unable to move that arm as fast as I needed. The Throne gives me that much needed freedom of movement while still comfortably handling all my weight.
