Adjustable Height Active Learning Stool - Padded Office De...

Content: Totes love this stool/chair. I accidentally started a trend at work and at least 2 other people have had our company buy these for them. I bought this on my own because I'm a sociopath and I didn't know if I'd like it. 100 bucks seemed steep to me, personally -- definitely not even the batting of an eyelash at the office -- but I liked the sort of all-in design: it's a stool, it's adjustable, it wobbles, it's plastic, it's portable. My cubicle at work is taken up by a big Staples generic L-desk and usually I have at least 1 utility cart with a full system sitting on it that I'm testing, troubleshooting, or developing with. And since I'm at work, I also wanna not be too comfortable -- sociopath, remember -- so I don't want some ridiculously comfy chair because otherwise I'll just sink into it and get lazy. That's my worry, at least. So I had been using a plain box chair, like a modern design of just two cushions in a chair shape between two squares of wood. It worked, not too comfortable, but it couldn't spin, and my back is to the opening of my cubicle, so anytime someone came in to ask a question or talk or tell me something, I'd have to either not turn around, or turn over awkwardly in the chair. I'm 5'9"-5'10", and this is the perfect height for sitting at a desk or extending it up and having some support while semi-standing. I've got an adjustable sit-stand desk thing at work, and this works perfectly in either configuration. My favorite part is also that it lets me pick whatever awkward pose I want to contort my torso while I'm sitting and I can just lean the stool in whatever direction I want. The bottom is a solid hard plastic-y rubber, and has pretty substantial ridges. The seat cushion isn't much, but it's all vinyl and the triangular shape lets you pick whatever seat position you find comfortable. To raise and lower the seat, there are depressed buttons on every "corner" (the 3 triangle corners of the seat), so it doesn't matter how you pose the seat, you'll always have a button to reach with either hand. It's definitely sturdy enough to also just sit up straight and wrap my ankles around the post or rest my toes on the top of the base. So, you can balance, you can sit angled, and you can use it to be a little lazy at your "standing" desk. Also, my favorite part is that when it's depressed all the way down, it fits perfectly under my desk. Like I said, I don't have a lot of room in my cubicle, especially when coworkers come in to talk, so it's great to be able to just quickly scoot it under the desk out of the way, and we can talk and stand at my computer and no more awkward spinning my back halfway around to face people. Also, if I'm sitting on the stool, it's super easy to spin around and I just have to worry about my awkward corners and not the arms of a chair or the back or anything, so I don't have to worry about knocking stuff over or pulling on a dangling cable or cord or anything like that. Super convenient for engineers, developers, researchers, designers, anyone working at an adjustable desk who wants something kinda active, but doesn't wanna sit on a giant beach ball or something stupid like that. Also, since it's all plastic/vinyl, no worries about cleaning/dusting, super simple. And when it's depressed all the way down, despite being a bit heavy, I can certainly carry it no problem with one hand, and if I really wanted, I could easily bring it home in the front seat of my truck. I really appreciate the portability and practical functionality, and again, despite being a bit expensive at 100 bucks, it's well worth it, because it fits pretty much every situation I would want for it. Again, I'm a weirdo, so to me it's like "If you wanna relax, get a couch; if you wanna work, get a stool". I like spinning around, being able to change direction and lean and change height. It doesn't get in the way and it's heavy enough to stay stable and I haven't fallen down yet. Over, yes. I've fallen over, but not all the way down. Plus, I fall over almost every day, even just standing still, so it definitely isn't a result of the stool. Honestly, if I had a home with like an island or counter, I would totally get 3 or 4 of these instead of just a fixed stool, even without the back. If you're a little crafty/handy, I think you could add a back if you really really really wanted, but I just love the idea that these can be table height and counter height, all in one. Don't get too comfortable! Be ready for anything!

Content: I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to like this. I have a nice standing desk and have long been a proponent of standing desks. However, due to recent chronic pain illnesses (hip injury + Bertolotti's Syndrome), standing for extended periods has become quite uncomfortable for me. Unfortunately, sitting in a chair with a back for shorter periods also causes significant lower back discomfort. In the past, I tried sitting on yoga balls, which are probably most similar to this chair. Unfortunately, yoga balls still caused me discomfort and were awkward in other ways, such as taking up too much space. I was certain this chair would cause the same discomfort as yoga balls, but I was wrong! This little guy is not only very attractive, making my work area look much more open, but the free motion of it is great for my lower back pain. I can move my legs and hips around while sitting to give my joints some motion, which helps with the chronic pain. However, the cushion isn't super comfortable, but that's okay for my purposes. I regularly set a timer in my kitchen for 20-30 minutes that forces me to get up and turn it off, and the design of this chair makes it very easy to get up from. Overall, I'm happy. There are more expensive versions of this chair out there that are probably more comfortable, but for my needs and price range, this was the best option I researched. It's a cinch to assemble. It's very well-built, and I have no concerns about its durability, except for maybe the cushion become too flat within a year. I'll revise my review if it seems like it flattens out too quickly.

Content: This chair is seemingly very sturdy and instills a sense of reliability, which is important to me as a heavier guy leaning on a chair. The base's grip on the floor is fabulous and does not appear to affect my carpet negatively (have not tested on any other floor type). The range of the seat height is pretty decent for me (I'm 5'7) - It can adjust higher than I would reasonably use it, personally. I like the seat design and overall style a bit more than others I've seen. While I would not say the seat material is uncomfortable, I would suggest that it is a bit firm (may ease up with age) and not something I favor; Admittedly this could be due to a number of things, such as being a heavier guy as I mentioned. In any case... After a bit over a month of use (daily work; home office), I consider this a good purchase! For the price, I'm not sure you could find better.

Content: I'm 5'10" and 210 lbs. This stool goes short enough I can sit under a regular desk, but is also tall enough to be a great leaning/standing stool. My co-worker has a taller one that can't be used as a sitting stool and I didn't like it. It also had a flat base in which the post wobbled. Maybe safer, but not as fun. I have also tried an exercise ball chair, which may be a bit better workout, but it bounced me a lot and wasn't as stable for working. I find myself rocking all around on this stool. I think I will get my company to buy me one for the office too. I will never use arm chairs again in hopes of preventing a relapse of lower back issues from sitting crooked in an arm chair. The quality of this stool is very good. It's not comfortable like a nice office chair, so I find myself fidgeting and getting up a lot more, which I count as a good thing. It's good that it's not comfy. Super easy to assemble - no tools required. It's also easy to transport. I took it to work in the front seat several times to make sure it would be good for me at the office, which it will. I will be getting another and tossing the broken down arm chair. Finally, it takes up very little space at my home. No more stubbed toes on chair legs. The only potential issue I imagine is small children or pets could get rocked upon, but the base is a good shape so it shouldn't be a big issue.

Content: Nöjd med leverans, pris och själva pallen. Dock var den defekt när jag fick den och en av knapparna under satt inte fast. Jag skruvade upp den och såg att den inte var fastskruvad och att inga skruvar fanns. Löste det själv genom att skruva dit egna skruvar.

Content: Super Hocker. Ich bin sehr zufrieden damit. Er ist bequem und eignet sich gut für ein mobiles Sitzen. Menschen, die sich gerne im Sitzen bewegen, könnten damit glücklich werden. Ich würde ihn mir wieder kaufen.

Content: Davvero ottimo articolo, utile per variare da una posizione attiva ad un'altra, ad esempio se si lavora con una standing desk e ogni tanto ci si vuol riposare mantenendo comunque movimento ed una postura ergonomica. Sicuramente non è uno sgabello adatto a chi vuole utilizzarlo come "sedia" principale in quanto dopo circa un'ora si sente l'esigenza di cambiare posizione. Per quest'ultima esigenza sicuramente bisogna optare per una seduta statica.

Content: Tabouret très pratique et d'apparence bien fini. Apres 1 mois d'essai on a seulement quelques doutes quant à la solidité dans le temps.

Content: The item arrived early. It is well made. It assembles in less time than it takes to unpack it from the box. The height adjustment suits me perfectly (I am 5'11''). The 'wobble' base means I can move around and turn much more comfortably that on a normal stool. I work all day standing (sitting is no longer an option for me) and this stool now gives me a comfortable way to take a break from standing. Extremely pleased with this item.
