TASALON Adjustable Rolling Stool - Swivel Workbench Stool for Kitchen, Salon, Spa & More - Black

1. The cast aluminum base means it's lighter for the same sturdy stiffness. Lots of these rolling stools have bases made of chromed steel tubing, and the ones I've encountered tend to creak and flex a little as they get old. I'm sure there are steel tube stools as sturdy and still as this one, but they'd have to be a lot heavier. The aluminum gives it a classic look.2. The larger wheeled roller-blade style rollers are the other advantage here. Compared to the small wheeled black plastic rollers you see on other stools, these roll and swivel silently, change directions smoothly and easily with no scraping as they reverse. Perfect for any lab, or service office, or shop, where you'll need roll the stool around to keep up with you as you work. This stool takes no effort to move about.3. The gas-charged column works smoothly and quickly to adjust seat height. The chromed column is a color match to the polished aluminum base and fits into the base so that it looks seamless, but that's just how precision fit it is. That surprised me since machining is expensive and for it to slot into the base with perfect fit and then stay in place securely without a holding fastener all suggest a quality level that is good value for the price.4. Same with the padded top. Some reviews complain it's too small but it seems right for a work stool--very comfortable for me (six feet tall) to sit and work. Also comfortable was the density of the padding which seemed perfect. I'd seen reviews complaining about the padding being too hard and too soft, but I found it perfect for a comfortable work stool.5. Installation took one or two minutes--a) place each roller post into one of the five base feet. b) Remove red cap from the gas-charged cylinder and drop the column into the precision machined hole in the base. c) Drop the fully assembled stool seat onto the gas-charged column.6. All this fits so well that you can pick up the stool by its top to move it or carry it.

Not only is this a great massage stool, we ended up using a lot in the bathroom when helping our daughter brush her teeth and do her hair. Solid metal base with good weight. Best feature for massage is the wheels, smooth and quiet. Do not get one with hard plastic wheels.

Stool is sturdy. Wheels are great. Seat is very VERY uncomfortable and extremely hard; no cushion to it what-so-ever.

So far they seem like decent stools that appear to be holding up well to our abusive crew. They were easy to assemble and have good wheels that roll across most surface conditions short of off roading. Handle our bigger crew just fine without showing signs of stress and aren't flimsy feeling. Seat is padded well enough but isn't ridiculously thick.

I would rate it higher except for a couple of things. The packing leaves a bit to be desired as the the seat can shift and the handle to raise and lower it can be impacted and, in my case, snap in half. Not a huge deal as the other half is still plenty to grab on to but, it would still be nice if it didn't break. That brings me to the next issue which is the seat itself. The off gassing from the vinyl is intense on this one so if you are sensitive to that sort of odor stay away as it has been two weeks and is still stinking up my house! Third issue is kind of a me problem as i am a large guy but the gas cylinder doesn't seem to be as high pressure as some other similar chairs I've used so it compresses a bit more than i like. That being said, if you're a reasonable weight it should be fine. Otherwise, the wheels are nice and the frame is lightweight yet quite solid.

I bought it for my wife after her Yoga ball burst. She was using it for piano lessons and it worked well until it burst and she hit her head on the floor. The wheels are great but the seat is a little bit little. I like it to set for a couple of minutes but after that it's hard on the rump.

bought this for hubby, since he likes to build stuff in the garage, he like it, said it was the best christmas gift ever, he loves it, it is sturdy, well build, easy to assemble, he used it daily, that's what matter, thanksssss

easy to assemble, very uncomfortable, very hard seat, minimaL cushioning. within 9 months of little use 3 of the 5 legs twisted, so the stool is now unusable.
