PYLE Drum Throne - Guitar Stool, Foldable & Portable Chair w/ Backrest & Footrest, Adjustable Music Stool for Adults, Padded Cushioned Seat & Back

I'm an acoustic guitarist, and I purchased this to help me get through 3-4 hour gigs. At 60, I can't perform standing the whole time due to a degenerative disk in my spine. So, I divide my time standing and sitting. This worked out well. I bought it at a reduced price because the box was damaged, and someone returned it. When I opened the box, the product was absolutely fine! I've been using it on gigs for the past year, and it's helped me a lot.

Was skeptical after reading previous reviews. Very happy with this chair. To be used for saxophone playing. Very easy to assemble as most is already put together. The backing of the backrest and seat isn't the greatest, but will do. The backrest does clank, but a trip to the hardware store and pick up those cork round pads for cabinets, problem solved. This chair is comfortable to me and sturdy enough. I gambled and won with this chair.

I am going to update this review. This chair has not been used in months. The cheap screws they give you with it have all either stripped or bent to the point where you cannot tighten the nut. The seat is hard as a rock now and not comfortable at all. This chair is just not worth the money. If it was $20.....maybe I love the concept of this chair. I initially purchased it as a practice chair. It's good for playing but only for about an hour or so. The seat is very hard and quite uncomfortable after 2 hours. The vinyl covering the foam is very loose and it seems to be too large for the foam. It has a slew of adjustments on it though for different body shapes so that is a positive. You will need to keep a couple of wrenches handy if you are going to be adjusting it or moving it in anything smaller than an SUV or a van. There are rubber guards on the foot rest that slide right off. I wouldn't count on having those very long if you are using this chair to gig with. It's very sturdy and made out of steel. This gives it a very solid feeling and I'm sure it will last a lot longer than many others. The price for that it is on the heavy side. At 27 pounds it could be an issue moving it around.

I really wanted this chair to work. I love the idea of the adjustable back support, so I can position it to the small of my back. It's good for that, but: 1. You "adjust" things by unbolting them and moving them to another hole an inch or two higher. Fine as long as only one person uses it. Which is true, in my case, so okay. 2. The back support never really gets "solid", it can flop around a little bit. Still, it's fine when you're using it. 3. It's pretty darn heavy. Not all that portable. 4. It's a "folding" only by the most liberal definition of the term. The legs fold beautifully. But the seat dosn't really "fold", as suggested by the arrow in the picture. It tips up a couple of inches, and that's about it. 5. Same with the back rest. It tips a little, but if you want to "fold" it, you're going to have to take it off. So, with heavy heart, I'll be returning it. The Wee's Beyond Cushioned chair is less than half the cost, and a lot lighter (a friend of mine has one). That chair doesn't have anywhere near as much back support, though. I'd have been happy with this if it at least folded the way way their picture indicated. (If I had a studio, it would be a keeper. It folds up just enough to lean against a wall at least partially out of the way. Nowhere near as inconspicuous as a folding chair, but a sight more comfortable to sit in for a long session. So I'm giving it 3 stars -- 1 star for my purpose, and about 4 stars in right setting.)

Defective part in this. Bolt broke in first ten minutes. Two weeks later, Pyle has done nothing. All I wanted was a replacement bolt. That's that short version. Here's the longer version: If you're like me, you tend to disregard the best and worst reviews, and focus on the ones in between. When you see somebody really really hot under the collar write a one-star review, you (I) tend to discount it to an extent, because maybe that person is just an unreasonable, angry person and isn't being fair. So, perhaps you'll discount this review a bit. I guess I wouldn't blame you if you did, but read on, and you may understand. I am basically a fair, reasonable and patient person. That's why, when, in the first ten minutes, before I could even use the performer chair at home or at a gig, a bolt that is apparently crucial and which seems to bear more stress on it that it can bare under some circumstances due to, I suppose, an engineering design flaw, when it broke, I was not alarmed. I just called Pyle and let them know I needed a replacement bolt. Two weeks later, I have nothing except this broken unusable chair. I have contacted THEM several times, and have gotten email replies (but no emails initiated on their own about what they're doing) saying that the customer support guy would contact the warehouse guy and someone would contact me about how I'd be receiving the part. Nothing. I understand that things can happen and occasionally a defective part goes out the door. I don't expect perfection. But, I DO expect a company to stand behind their product and take care a of a very reasonable customer request, for a replacement part that can't have cont more than 50 cents to a dollar. I am very disappointed in Pyle. It might be a decent chair-- I cant know because I've never been able to use it. I do know it's large, heavy, not really as portable as you'd expect, does not fold all the way down so it actually takes up a large amount of room in the car or wherever you choose to keep t when "folded down". But, I'd give it a chance. Except that PYLE has essentially just blown me of as far as I can see. So, I have now to resort to putting my experience with them online in the from of an Amazon review, where I bought it, and giving them the 1-star review that, while they've earned it so far, I hate to give. Yes, I guess I could have just immediately repackaged it and sent it back, but I thought-- that's a lot of effort-- how about they just send me the replacement bolt? Bad idea. While they are good about replying to emails and in the replies promising they'll do something, they are bad at actually doing something. Now, I am getting close to the end of my return window with Amazon. SO, I guess after waiting this whole time I will probably end up having to do exactly that, since I am not optimistic at this point that anything will change. I would consider revising this review, if they were to decide that, while they are not worried about the customer's experience much, they do value their online reputation and respond to my complaints here in public. Hoping for the best here, but expecting the worst-- that is, more of what I've gotten so far. As I said, maybe it's a good chair when not breaking immediately. It looked good online. I'd like to find out, but they aren't letting me. If you have one and like it, great. If you're considering buying one, understand you are rolling the dice. Maybe you win, maybe you lose. Good luck.

I use it every day for... all day and most of the night. I had no problem assembling it and I’m legit blind. Like white cane blind. Played at church and some little old ladies took the back and seat off to put it in the trunk of a car without my help or knowledge. They had no problem disassembling and I reassembled it in my studio with no assistance in five minutes. It’s good gear.

The first one came damaged,hay guys get your packaging together that will solve a lot of your negative reviews. Amazon was great about exchanging the damaged chair,fast and efficient. After a few minor adjustments the chair is great. I had to bend the backrest bracket back to fit me, and shim the seat stop to stop the seat from drooping. After that the seat is everything I wanted in a chair. I play bass guitar and use the chair to practice. The chair has increased the time I can practice because it is much more comfortable than a stool. And the $30 or so over the price of a stool is worth it. I did order the chair knowing that I may receive the chair damaged but I did it anyway and all in all it was worth it.

First, it was a little bigger than I thought it would be. Second, one of the features is supposedly a "foldable design" complete with hand knobs that should tighten by hand, theoretically. However, when I started to tighten them (all 3) they tightened within a couple of turns or so and would not tighten further by hand. I back them out and tried again to make sure they were not cross threaded. They still tightened after a few turns with most of the threads exposed on the knobs. So, to secure it by screwing the knobs all the way I used pliers which, of course, left marks on the knobs even though I tried to be as careful as possible. Had I not screwed them in all the way the stool would have been unstable. Third, I did not find it to be very comfortable for me. I was sore from sitting just a couple of hours while recording. When I decided to return the stool, most of the damage to the knobs occurred from disassembling the stool because the knobs would not turn without using pliers again. The threads on one knob are completely destroyed I assume from the nut welded to the frame.

At the price this stool is way better quality than I expected! Super easy to assemble ! Loads of seat/backrest positions, well padded seat & backrest & on first go really comfortable and I will be happily strumming for hours 👍👍

Sgabello comodo. È vero inclinato un po’ in avanti , ma non da problemi.

Pyle Guitar Stool: Happy with purchase, easy to assemble, sturdy, easy to adjust. Thank you.

j'apprend la guitare et le siege me convient il ne prend pas trop de place un fois plier bien stable le seul reproche c'est le siege un peu dure prevoir un petit coussin de 5 cm epaisseur ca le fait et prevoir de fabriquer un cale pour le dossier qui part en arriere et ne soutiens pas le dos pour une bonne positions c'est mon cas en tous les cas pour les grands gabarit.

Comodo pero me gustaria que no fuera tanto la diferencia entre los peldaños para ajustar la altura del banco
