Saddle Stool Chair

I’m so happy with this saddle stool. I’m 5’8” with 37” hips, and I have a broken lumbar vertebrae, thoracic spinal fusion, a tailbone defect, an old injury on my collarbone, and accessory navicular - all of this is compounded by ligamentous laxity, so I’m a generally achy, sprainy, musculoskeletal mess. I used to ride horses when I was a kid and I just want to make this point clear - this stool is initially going to exercise you and make you sore if you have poor muscle tone and poor posture for any reason! There’s a good deal of research on this if you’re inclined, and any secondary discomfort should go away once you get toned up and used to it. After sitting on it on and off for a few hours last night, today I definitely feel like I’ve been on a horse - I’m sore all over, but I feel properly exercised. My toes in the first image are a poor scale for the width of the seat because perspective, but, it really is saddle width. (You can practically envision the horse.) The shortest height is perfect for use at my desk, which measures 28” underneath and 29.25” at the table top. My elbows hover about 2” over the desk but my hands and wrists can comfortably rest and work without having to “fight” the weight of my arms. The second photo shows the angle of my legs when at the shortest height. The width of the seat keeps your hips open and at my height, my knees are at or close to a 90 degree angle to my feet no matter where I place them. Adjusted to full height (third photo), it’s perfect for lining up with my tripod and camera setup without needing to stoop. The front of the chair is even with my desk top, but since this stool angles your legs down so much at full height, I just need to scoot back an inch in the seat in order to sit comfortably with the seat stable against the edge of my desk. I could feel the muscles between my shoulder blades “tingling” as they had to start working to support my body, since only the balls of my feet were resting on the floor. This was the hardest area to exercise in physical therapy without aggravating other areas, so I am extra happy about this. The seat is padded just right and comfortable, not too squishy or too firm for me. My tailbone is not bearing any weight when I’m sitting upright. The material is kinda grippy but it isn’t breathable, so things will get a little humid after a while. Still, standing up every so often isn’t a bad idea for any sitting situation. Independent of the casters, the seat spins around really smoothly if you go for a full 360 or two, but casual changes in direction are a deliberate movement and it otherwise stays put where you want it. The white seat I’d say is “Ikea white” and easy to clean - I got some shmoo from assembly on it but it wiped off with a mild cleaning spray and a rag. There’s an area at the middle of the seat where the stitching seems to be pulled a little tight and I can see the edges of the needle holes. It’ll take some time to see if that seam splits. The lever to adjust height takes a bit of getting used to - you can reach it without needing to really lean, but years of using office chairs with arm rests have me leaning anyways, and the lever doesn’t “work” if your center of gravity is off. It feels a bit hesitant going up and down, but I imagine it’ll smooth out over time. There’s good resistance to roll around which helps avoid the problem of the stool wanting to creep along an uneven floor as you’re trying to work. I caught my ankle once on the edge of the chair base; the edges are kind of rough at the underside, but that’s not an issue once you figure out how to clear the wheel base when you move. Your feet are naturally positioned wide of it. The biggest hurdle is making sure the seat is oriented the right way if you stand to grab something and sit back down without checking. It can rotate a bit when you stand, but it didn’t roll away any of the times I went to sit down without checking and bumped into the side of it by accident. With a surface nearby to hold as I sit, I don’t feel like this stool will prank me, and I’ve gotten used to the “bar stool” grab already. All in all, this stool is fantastic. It’s comfortable, it’s practical, it looks at home in my space, and it’s encouraging better muscle tone. Once I can afford it I’ll be getting one for my mother who enjoys quilting; she’s almost 70, 5’2” with wide hips and has asthma attacks that are aggravated by scoliosis, osteoporosis, and increasingly poor posture - she looked so happy and immediately commented about wanting one when she tried it out. Her feet were nearly flat on the floor at the shortest height and she was able to move comfortably, and above all, her posture was perfect and reminded me of when she was younger. I don’t want to claim this particular stool is a panacea, but saddle stools are beneficial for your body - this particular saddle stool is basically perfect for the price and definitely worth it in my book.

I’m a hairdresser searching for a saddle seat to use to be off my feet and to rest my back. The instructions are pictures only but, easy to follow and assemble. Took about, 20-30 minutes to put it together by myself as the pieces are a bit heavy. The chair is sturdy and spins 360 degrees, the wheels are easy to roll, the seat cushion is comfortable as well as the back rest. There are adjusting handles for the back rest and for the seat cushion. The back rest adjusting handle helps to stabilize it to your comfort level. The seat cushion adjusting handle helps move it up and down to your comfort level as well. When you want to bring the chair down, you have to put weight on it. To bring the chair up, you have to lift yourself off the chair to adjust the height. I hope this chair will last for a while but, I’m very happy.

This helps so much with my posture number 1 and going from a seated position to standing is so effortless! I love that the adjuster is on the bottom side and not the back so you’re not contorting your body in a weird way to adjust the chair. Size is perfect for me not too big or small, it’s supper sturdy and if you tip it, it won’t knock you off. So great stability and has a smooth quiet roll and is light weight. It’s was so easy to assemble. Honestly feel like I can run while sitting on it and not hurt myself. Anyone up for a saddle chair race!

It assembled easy , seems well made , cillinder seems strong, will raise low and high , weight max is impressive, just got it , love the saddle seat , my wife will use it as a makeup table seat. Just got it time will tell ,

I have purchased three different "budget-friendly" saddle chairs. This is the only one that I can honestly say is well-worth the money. The quality far exceeds the price. It is easy to adjust, and to a much more ergonomic height than other inexpensive saddle chairs. Additionally, it feels very sturdy. Another saddle chair I own just feels cheap, and the bar holding the wheel bent after just a few months, making it a true safety hazard. This one just feels comfortable, well-padded, and solid. This one is honestly just as comfortable as the professional saddle chair I spent over $800 on! I plan to replace my other cheap-o chairs with this one and feel confident that they will hold up to the daily use. If it works for a dental office, I have no doubt it will be great for almost any other use that requires frequent sitting with a desire for optimal ergonomics.

This chair hurts!!! It is not padded in the necessary areas! I wanted to give it a fair chance, which I did, and passed the 30-day return window. Very unhappy with a sore bum :(. I do not recommend this chair at all.

Great product! I bought it for my daughter who works as a dental hygienist, and she says it was a very good purchase. I'm happy.

Linda, confortável, ótimo aspecto.

Ottimo seggiolino per dentisti, ergonomico e strutturalmente robusto. Al momento più che soddisfatto

Top! Zachter en robuuster dan goedkopere versies. Zit top, goed in te stellen . Stof plooit wat.. tweedekans gekocht: topprijs €117. Ziet dat hij in elkaar gezet is en geen originele doos: boeien! Wel andere wielen onder gezet, hoger en geen haren erin.

Cumple con las expectativas, cómodo, ergonómico y funcional

Den Sattelhocker hab ich mir zugelegt, da ich viel zeichne, also viel sitzen ist angesagt und ich muss sagen der ist echt bequem. Vorallem bei längeren Sitzungen hat man langen sitz komfort. Aufbau geht auch leicht von der Hand. Meine Frau war auch sehr begeistert das wir für ihren Salon auch einen gekauft haben. Der Vorteil ist bei dem Sattel: Gute Polsterung Sattelspitze drückt nicht im Genitalbereich Leichter Zusammenbau Langer Sitzkomfort Gute höhenverstellung Gute Sitzhöhen Top Qualität. Wenn der mal den Geist aufgibt. Wird es definitiv derselbe.. Kann ich nur empfehlen!!
