I looked at a ton of seats for seated guitar playing and this seemed the biggest and most stable. I am pretty big at 6’3”, but not fat. I am basically happy with it, as it is much better than a wooden kitchen chair, but I am surprised at how easily it falls over in any direction. I could see someone really getting into their music and swaying around ala Stevie Wonder or Joe Cocker, then taking an embarrassing, humorous fall…;) In any case, the padding is great. I wish the seat back was more adjustable but it works. The parts are solid, welded metal and will last forever. I don’t know why they choose to have three legs instead of four, which would be more stable. I’m gonna try to add some rubber thingees to the bottom of the legs to increase the surface area. We’ll see…

I have to have a drum throne with a backrest and this one just fits the bill perfectly. It is rock solid while also being very comfortable.Assembly - While the assembly is very easy it is a little tricky to get the backrest on where it doesn't wobble. However, once you get it right, its amazing!Stability - This throne is a tank! When assembled correctly it doesn't budge.Comfort - This is obviously one of the most important factors when buying a drum throne. If you aren't comfortable you won't want to play. This throne is extremely comfortable. The back rest is adjustable enough it should work with any height/weight. The seat cushion is firm enough to support but not so firm it's unpleasant to sit on. I can easily play for hours without even feeling itPrice - This is not a cheap throne. I think the highest compliment I can give it is I think it is worth every cent.I have been very please with this throne. If you are in the market this is THE throne I would suggest

And...excellent value. For the $200 USD range, stable, sturdy, stiff? Yes, but that equates to stability, no mushy, cozy, comfy feel here. Just rock solid stability. Great for your posture. The next step up is a LOT more money. Buy one of these, you wont be sorry.. JL ( do a quick yoga session prior, works wonders )

This is a great stool. Super sturdy and comfortable. Yes the back pushes you forward a little bit but I think it helps you to focus on your posture while sitting.

This is the most wonderful keyboard throne. At times I spend up to 5 hours sitting so comfort is A MUST. It never lets me down. In fact the longer I use it the more it conforms to my body requirements.I must note that because of my particular body requirements I had to increase the bend in the backrest arm to +90 degrees. However, now that I've been using it for many hours, there's a good possibility this adjustment may have NOT been necessary. A bit too premature.This is a very practical unit beit a studio application or a home setting. So very well priced.

This throne has been used almost everyday for several months now. It’s very comfortable and stable, even if I am moving around a lot. The hardware is sturdy and well machined. The foam in the seat and back is firm and holds its shape, even after several hours of playing. The upholstery is also holding up well. The back itself is comfortable and supportive but will come loose unless it’s really cranked tight. The back can be adjusted to a range but for me it didn’t go back quite far enough so I drilled another hole in the seat bracket to allow more travel. For me, a minor and easily remedied issue. Gibraltar makes good stuff. I am considering a second one for another kit.

This is a nice stool,good and sturdy . I was a dentist for many years and this is just as good as my dental stool, for a lot less money. The instructions are not the greatest but putting it together is a no brainer. It is a great stool for playing my guitar. No back aches.

sans surprise c'est du gibraltar, cette selle de batterie est solide, belle, finitions impeccables, réglages au top, hyper confortable, bien stable, l'équivalent chez pearl et autres grandes marques coûtent bien plus cher, parfois le double pour ce type d'assise surtout avec dossier et pour en avoir essayé un paquet, n'apportent rien de plus que ce modèle de chez gibraltar. Je recommande sans hésiter.

My drummer hates me for having this - I use it for guitar practice and for working at a desk at home, its great, very well built, comfortable and adaptable - a litle pricey but worth it - and it comes with some free stickers which i have stuck on his bass drum..

Got it to take to the rifle range, instead of using range seats/box. Took it today and worked awesome! Gave the info to another guy who was using a regular stool. Felt sturdy for the three hours I used it, comfortable and height adjustment works great. Everything about it I liked. I’m not saying it “because I bought it”, I’m saying it because it was a great investment and wish I had done it years ago.

Backrest- moves with the throne and is in good positioningSeat- Very comfortable especially for a bigger guy, gives the tush the "just right" feelingLegs- very secure and stableAdjustability/memory lock- confusing and doesn't come with instructions of how to adjust. We haven't done any internet research and I'm sure there is a simple answer to our confusion but it is actually the height needed when put together so no huge drive to find out what we are doing wrong. I think it all comes down to the memory lock.A great throne only drawback is that it isn't a hydraulic lift, but I knew that when purchasing it and no great information of the memory lock with the packaging.Bought this for my keyboard playing guitarist who likes the occasional night of rock band drums. It has worked well for all three above and even has his drummer brother maybe a bit envious that this may be better than his. (which it is :)!)
