Ordered 6 of these and put the first one together. Goes together easily, and is of fair quality. Finish and materials are okay. Cheaply stapled PU leather though. QA could be better there.
Sitting on the stool feels like I am leaning forward all of the time, and the base is not heavy enough, or wide enough to feel very stable at all. Very disappointed in that.
I will have the family give it a try, but for me: this is not comfortable enough. I am 6 foot and 225LBS. (183cm /106Kg) This is not very wide for my frame and the arms are not positioned well for me. As I said, I feel as if I am leaning forward all of the time. ANY motion to pick up anything along the bar, or leaning in any direction at all results in the base lifting from the floor. There is a distinctive lean in the center support as well for me.
My 63 300 lbs son can not use this tiny seat at all. I suspected this before purchase and purchased another stool for him in advance. It is far more suited for someone even my size. It is stable and comfortable in ways that this stool can not achieve.
My little daughter did like it and said it was comfortable. She did not have any trouble really at 100 lbs. Wife 150 lbs 510 was not comfortable in width (the arms are unforgiving and not very wide at 17) and was unstable as well on movement.
I suspect that if you are under 140 lbs and under 56 this would be fairly comfortable in size for you. Stability above that weight and height seems to be a real issue for this product. I looked at the average Chinese adult man (slightly under 5 foot 5 and 140lbs according to Worlddata) so I think that my guess is in line with product design. I really dont know any American man personally anywhere near that small. You know, I wish I knew Danny Devito personally but I do not. Life is just not fair sometimes. Anyway, according to Worlddata, Americans average over a half foot taller and 60lbs more than the Chinese. I cant help but think that this is an Asian market product not suited for the North American market. I have found clothing, and other items have this issue as well in my experience. I am, I guess, a bigger American, but by no means a giant. Take my advise: pay close attention to your size or you will be returning these as well. They will not be comfortable, and will certainly be unsafe.
Very unstable base and very small.
