K&M Stool 14046

That's one thing that is really annoying about seats and various type of stands, the legs always stick out too far so I have painfully stubbed my toe many a time on these low level protrusions when walking by. The seat cushion is nice and firm springing back to shape instantaneously when relived of bulk, so you can tell it?s not going to become deformed anytime soon. There is also a lot of adjustment variation on its height. It is a shame that the seat itself doesn?t swivel. This lack of flexibility makes it feel a bit too rigid especially when working at a broad worktop where you have to turn about 60 degrees each way to access various gadgets. It feels a bit too inflexible and rooted to the ground. But I suppose that depends on what type of functions you are performing. I have therefore given it only 4 stars for stability because it is too rigid and stable. I can?t seem to stop the seat itself from dipping forward at an angle even though the lock mechanism is tightly clamped. It seems there is a recommended procedure for achieving this in the assembly instructions which I will need to look up. Other than all this, it would have been 100% perfect.

Purchased the seat to use at gigs for those quiet moments, to balance against during the performance or for acoustic gigs. Its an absolute gem!! Totally sturdy and reliable. This simple seat has obviously been carefully designed for purpose as it is unimposing, easy to use, fit got purpose and folds up for easy storage. Not the cheapest option for the gigging musician but I would imagine being hard pressed to source anything better without moving inept the world of bespoke seating. I would whole heartedly advise anyone looking for the all round gig stool to go for this baby from K&M. Excellent.

I have this stool for a year now and I'm very happy with it. It's very well constructed, the fabric-covered seat is extremely comfortable and encourages one to sit in a more upright, comfortable posture. The mechanisms all work well and it folds into an easily transportable unit. It comes almost fully assembled, you just need to fix the foot rests. That's a simple job, and they even include a spanner. My one disappointment is that the rubber pads on the foot rest are starting to wear. I do use this about three or four times a week, but I still think they should be harder wearing than that. One other tip, is that you should glue the rubbers onto the base. They have slipped off on me a few times and I was lucky to be able to retrieve them. All in all, I highly recommend this.

I always envied drummers who get a nice comfy chair for the whole night. Now I have the same. I love how they classify this as a 'standing aid' lol. It's an apt description. It give me a great neutral sitting position and is well padded. Even better is the cloth upholstery. There is a compression system that lifts the seat for adjustment but it doesn't give you that 'shock absorber' feeling which is kind of a let down. Still it's very stable and easy to set up. Just kick out the legs, tighten down the seat and your ready to go. K&M has wonderful build quality so no worries there. Just wish there was an easier way of the carrying the thing as its a bit of a weird shape. Oh well, that's the price you have to pay if you want to keep up with the drummers.

Just got this stool.
Simply love it. Suffer from neck and back problem and this does the job for me. I had to do several adjustments to get a comfortable position but once I got it the difference was fantastic. I am really comfortable now playing guitar. I also like the padded seat. Tilt of seat is great advantage if you want to be in semi standing position and it is very easy to adjust this part. I am 5.9 approx and there is plenty of lift on the seat height. The foot rest is also adjustable with nine positions to select from. This stool is heavy and very sturdy. This will be going to all my gigs.
