Another stool review

http://www.amazon.com/review/R7LC0A0...cm_cr_rdp_perm

I linked my review to a stool i've been using for about a month now above. It's actually suppose to be a "DJ Chair". I gave it a shot because it adjusted nice and high, and it looked pretty portable.

So far so good. I like it for what it costs.

Good find, thanks for sharing!

How sturdy and stable does it seem to be? Any creaky noises or anything?

Thanks!

Joe

It looks good, what's the weight and the overall shlep factor like?

It's been nice and sturdy so far. No wobbling or creaking. I would imagine the frame will last forever.

I've only moved it around my house so I can't really speak to how easy or hard loading for gigs would be. It's 35 pounds.

I've been using one of these for a few years; affordable, practically weightless, folds flat, reasonably comfortable:

Thanks. That weight rules it out for me. I tried a similar one from Quikloc that's around 20lbs and found it too much a pain to haul (and noisy to boot). I'm always on the lookout for something better but for now the above mentioned ikea one is working alright.

My wife got me this stool for my birthday... aside from assembling it (there were no instructions) it's a great deal. I'm 6'1" & 225+.... no problem. I got mine at Amazon.
