    And…excellent value. For the $200 USD range, stable, sturdy, stiff? Yes, but that equates to stability, no mushy, cozy, comfy feel here. Just rock solid stability. Great for your posture. The next step up is a LOT more money. Buy one of these, you wont be sorry.. JL ( do a quick yoga session prior, works wonders )

    I have to have a drum throne with a backrest and this one just fits the bill perfectly. It is rock solid while also being very comfortable.

    Assembly – While the assembly is very easy it is a little tricky to get the backrest on where it doesn’t wobble. However, once you get it right, its amazing!

    Stability – This throne is a tank! When assembled correctly it doesn’t budge.

    Comfort – This is obviously one of the most important factors when buying a drum throne. If you aren’t comfortable you won’t want to play. This throne is extremely comfortable. The back rest is adjustable enough it should work with any height/weight. The seat cushion is firm enough to support but not so firm it’s unpleasant to sit on. I can easily play for hours without even feeling it

    Price – This is not a cheap throne. I think the highest compliment I can give it is I think it is worth every cent.

    I have been very please with this throne. If you are in the market this is THE throne I would sugges

    A Fantastic Drum Throne

    Pretty comfortable. I personally find the back rest uncomfortable. It doesn’t have an angle to comfortably support my back. It always feels like it’s digging into my back. But that’s just me, other people may have a different opinion. The soft material is nice tho. Worth the buy!

    This drum throne, with the back rest, treats my back just right. I’ve just begun playing again after a hiatus of many years. I knew back then that my posture was not correct when playing; it’s such a relief now with this stool. Great support on the back, a comfortable seat, and sturdy build.

    Great stool for playing guitar. The caveat is that I just wish you could adjust the angle of the backrest a little. The backrest is not uncomfortable, it it certainly isn’t overly comfortable, either. If I could find someone who does good pipe bending I might get them to put a tiny bit of angle on the backrest.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe first negative is the instructions themselves. They leave a lot to be desired. Second negative is the time it takes to put it together. You need a drum key, a hex wrench and deft hands to hold plates in place in order to attach the arm for the backrest to the seat, and then the backrest itself. Bottom line, if you can afford a RocNSoc Nitro with a backrest, that’s the best chair on the market (wish I had never sold mine).

    I got this one together but it took longer than I thought it should. it is adequate, fine, but nothing to write home about. If I had it to do over again, I would get a RocNSoc nitro with same style seat (motorcycle). I am not going to further frustrate myself by taking this one apart and returning it. It will be fine…just not great.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI bought this for use as a classical and electric guitar practice chair based on other reviews. So far it works really well for this. I am about 5’11” 168 lb and with the seat at its lowest the tops of my legs are parallel to the ground. The very front of the seat is about 19-1/2″ in this position. I had an ergonomic evaluation at work once and was told this is optimal for posture and fatigue in the workplace so I went with that here. If you are significantly shorter you may want to look at something which goes lower unless you want some angle between the top of your legs and the floor. This chair has been comfortable for a couple of hours at a time which is about all I have time for. I don’t use the backrest while actually practicing but it is nice to have when you want to break for a couple of minutes. It is a bit of a short coming to not include a wrench for the seat lock (not a drummer) but I found that a 1/4″ box end wrench works perfectly without stripping the square bolt. It is portable, doesn’t rattle, and actually feels a little heavier than it looks. Happy with this purchase.

    I picked this up as a way to have an adjustable height studio chair that won’t take up much space. Until I bought it I was using a piano stool, which worked pretty great except a pain to adjust the height and no backrest. I’ve been using this for about 1 month now and I’m happy with it. I had to bend the backrest back a bit by installing it and leaning very hard on it until it was at about a 20 degree angle. Now I can lean back a little which is more comfortable. I’m 145 pounds, sitting on this thing up to 10 hours a day in my studio with no issues.

    This is a nice stool,good and sturdy . I was a dentist for many years and this is just as good as my dental stool, for a lot less money. The instructions are not the greatest but putting it together is a no brainer. It is a great stool for playing my guitar. No back aches.

    I use the stool in a small work booth and it’s size, height adjustments, and tendency to keep me sitting straight (I’m a leg crosser and a slumper when allowed) is very welcome.

    The build seems very sturdy, but I do tilt it a bit on entry sometimes – probably due to the limited space mentioned, because I’m coming in from the side instead of being able to walk to the front and sit straight back onto it. Regardless, a more stable model of the same design would be nice.

    Updated 7/2/20: I found an additional adjustment on the base that allowed me to better secure it to the seat cushion, resulting in most of the “rocking” motion noted in my original review to be eliminated. However, the “installation instructions” need to be improved to cover this better. I’ve upgraded my overall rating to 4 stars (from 3).
    Original review:The chair seems well-made and works o.k. for my guitar practice sessions. It did take a little patience putting together. Also, the seat cushion is not as comfortable as I was expecting but the back-rest provides decent support. My biggest issue is I can’t seem to get the stem that attaches the base to the seat cushion tight enough so it doesnt rock a bit when I sit on it. Also, the wingnut that secures the base to the seat periodically comes loose. And I’m not that big a person at 175 lbs. For a premium-priced seat I was expecting a better functioning seat.

    Excellent, high quality. I have lower back disk problems and it provides perfect support and reminds me to keep my lower back straight. I sit close to pedals and back rest juts in just enough to keep everything straight. I’m 6 ft, 185 lbs. Would not work for a much bigger or heavier man though.
    5 stars!!!!

    Reading past reviews made me hesitant to move forward. I’m 5’6 about 140 so the size seemed a little large, seating area, for me. The style and back support is what really drew me in. After purchasing the delivery came as advertised and setup was very simple. Like the stickers that came with it. So, behind my kit it has really stabilized my playing. Back support reminds me when I start to get out of balance and has helped with my double peddles speed. (Posture). So far I’m very pleased with the overall purchase experience and ownership of this throne.

    I wish that I had bought it a long time ago. It’s so comfortable that I could sleep in/on it. And, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen one more sturdy than this one is. It was discounted for being a blem, but I can’t find a blemish on it. My only complaint is that the assembly instructions are not user friendly, and it was a challenge to assemble it.

    Totally comfortable drummer’s throne. The motorcycle style seat is differently the most comfortable throne I have ever sat on. Proper support while leaving room for freedom of movement of your legs. Some online reviews critique the backrest as being too far away from the drummer’s back to be useful during performance, but the manufacturer must have changed the angle of the backrest. I find proper support for my back, so no more slouching and backache at the end of the gig. Sturdy, comfortable, and well made.

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersLike many others who purchase a throne, I am not a drummer. I purchased this to sit central to my home studio activities – Computer, Keyboard, Guitars. The seat is firmly padded and comfortable through long sessions. The anti-slip velour like fabric is cool and much more comfortable than vinyl. The packing, shipping and assembly were all spot on with out any issues. My only most minor nit is the hight lockout (memory) clamp wants a head key to use the square head – again, not a drummer. A longer knurled bolt so I could use a thumb would be nice.. so minor – but true. Still a five star deal.

It is very comfortable, but as others have mentioned, the backrest is too far back to provide support while playing. If it didn’t have as much of a bend in the backrest bracket it would be much better. I’m thinking I might try to straighten the bracket a bit. Other than that, its a great piece of equipment. I would give five stars if the backrest was better.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersBackrest- moves with the throne and is in good positioning
    Seat- Very comfortable especially for a bigger guy, gives the tush the “just right” feeling
    Legs- very secure and stable
    Adjustability/memory lock- confusing and doesn’t come with instructions of how to adjust. We haven’t done any internet research and I’m sure there is a simple answer to our confusion but it is actually the height needed when put together so no huge drive to find out what we are doing wrong. I think it all comes down to the memory lock.

    A great throne only drawback is that it isn’t a hydraulic lift, but I knew that when purchasing it and no great information of the memory lock with the packaging.

    Bought this for my keyboard playing guitarist who likes the occasional night of rock band drums. It has worked well for all three above and even has his drummer brother maybe a bit envious that this may be better than his. (which it is :)!)

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI can’t imagine something better (for the most part). I switched from a Mapex thick to this and it’s soo much more comfortable with the soft material and foam. The back rest makes it even better.

    If I had one gripe it would be that the seat base is a little too big for me. I’m about 6′ and am thin so it seems there’s a bit too much room. But that’s the least of anything – it’s too comfortable and with the spiral type height adjustment it’s so much easier than a screw type. The base seems wider to me than my Mapex chair-good.
