2 out of 5 stars sturdy but uncomfortable   September 8, 2008
Pati Taylor (West Yellowstone, MT)
This is a good value, a bit of a pain to assemble, but when it comes down to it, it's very uncomfortable to sit in.


5 out of 5 stars Shop Stool   June 28, 2008
Marguerite L. Rogers (Laurelton, NY USA)
The stools are great. One stool was missing parts and the company was extremely cooperative in handling the situation. Assembly was not difficult.

I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a decent stool with a backrest for my workshop. I almost didn't buy this one because of Frank's bad experience, but I'm glad I decided to take a chance.

This stool is rock solid. That's crucial for anyone, for safety's sake, but I weigh about three bucks and have a bad back, so if a stool was prone to wobbling, I'd be the one to wobble it. This thing doesn't budge. The padded seat is comfortable, as is the back rest, which is adjustable horizonatally (i.e., closer to your back, or farther away). The back rest is not adjustable vertically, but seems well placed, offering good support to the lower back.

My only beef, for which I'm not even going to knock off a star, is that the assembly instructions suck. There are no written instructions, per se, just some badly designed pictograms. Figuring out whether the legs go inside or outside the stabilizing ring is ticky, because if you look closely at the drawing, it does BOTH. The thing is like an Escher drawing. Since my workshop obeys the laws of physics, I had to ignore the drawing and figure it out for myself. Also, the kit comes with two very similar, but slightly different types of screws, and the directions give no hint as to which kind goes where. The only way I figured it out was to sort the screws and count the holes.

If you can figure out how to assemble things thing without decent instructions, you'll probably really like this workshop stool. And if you can't... well, then you're probably likely to lose a finger in a workshop accident anyway, and this stool will be the least of your problems.

This is another one of those products made in China that almost comes complete. It was missing 2 important bolts and Northern could not supply those but gave me the option to return the whole chair. I went out and found the proper size bolts at the hardware store but it would have been nice to have the ones that you can turn by hand as well as not having to deal with the hassle.
