Comfortable, and opens and closed nicely, but....used it on a job for 4 hours once weekly...lasted 2 months then suddenly semi-collapsed. I didnt land on floor but almost.

I weigh 175 FYI.

it works for the intended purpose, but i am not sure on how long it will hold up. it seems like it is getting weaker, but it is being used for a more aggressive purpose than intended probably. not bad for the price though.

We like this stool because it can be tucked into the coat closet or other out of the way places whe we do not need the extra setting. The stool has a small profile when folded and yet strong enough to give a feel of a full bar stool.

After using for just 2 hours, I had to re-build the inadequate cushioning and design and install a new latching mechanism.

The seat metal was already bending and popping in and out a little, with audible popping sounds from flexing metal! I could see the deformation where the support pieces were already pushing info the thin metal seat material.

The cushioning offered very little support and showed long-term compression after minimal use. The latching mechanism wobbled and allowed the seat to tilt up and down about an inch when it should have remained solid and steady.

CHEAP! This seat, though perhaps admittedly worth what it cost, is very cheaply made with very flimsy materials and will not last. Unfortunately, there seem to be no competitive models of same design.

Luckily, after 2 hours, I have been able to remove the padding and do the following to perhaps make the seat usable and more durable:

1 - glued a stiffener to the poster-board quality piece that the cushioning is attached to to greatly increase (MORE than double) the strength of that component and thus counteract the effect of the metal seat base being so flimsy,

2 - add an extra thin layer of cushioning,

3 - remove the cheap latching pin and replace it with a custom-built steel rod latch so that the seat rests steady and firm without the one+ inch wobble the "new" seat started with.

Without making those repairs and redesigns, at my own expense, the seat would be barely worth buying, even at the low cost of $30 or so.

This stool came with a cracked cheap plastic end cap on one leg, probably shipped to me that way, not a good start. The cushioned pad is very thin.

I received this right away. I was really happy with the timing of the shipment. I use these stools for posing in photography sessions. They are really sturdy and easy fold up for portability. I was pleasantly surprised at the durability and a reasonable price.

I sing with a glee club unfortunately I have a hard time to stand for the whole time we sing at a concert. this folding stool is light enough for me to carry easy to open and I can easily sing in this position I'm almost standing it's not like sitting in a chair where it's hard to sing. I'm very happy with the stool.

I am a professional photographer and I use these stools for portraits. They are sturdy but lightweight.

love the stool.

very strong.

taller then I thought but it's great.

easy to fold and unfold

If you want a stool that is designed to hold a 200lb+ person, this is not it. I'm not even sure it will hold a child with as abusive they can be to furniture. It may be a good stool if you only intend to use it a few times briefly, then throw it away. It's not something that will last.
