So my graduation party was yesterday and my step dad said for my present I could pick out any new stool I wanted. I asked him what the price range was and he said just get the one I wanted, So I'm guessing 200-300 tops I don't want to take all his money. Any suggestions? P.S. It has to be portable too.

Seems rather expensive, but I like the design. Too bad I don't use a stool.

I really enjoy the idea of never having to carry my stool again but it's also a lot of money. With shipping it's a little shy of 450 dollars. Are there any other alternatives with the same idea? |

The Double Trolley looks really great as a Trolley but as a stool I have some queries...Firstly, the foot rest isn't movable in height or placement, and the seat is really small. If you get the Trolley which I think is worth the money, considering you don't ever have to carry a stool again, you might consider buying a 20 dollar guitar foot rest and just bringing it with you. |

I thought about that too. |

Then, convince your dad that it is a $80,000 stool that comes with a free bass.

It has a wide, soft bicycle seat, a back (a must for sitting through long rehearsals) and a foor rest. I think it was around 300. I can sit on that thing for hours and be very comfortable. |
