Review (4/5): Saddle up
It's a saddle stool
I've never ridden a horse
Is this the feeling?
I went from sitting in a hard chair that I moved back and forth across the room from my computer to my reference books and back to this saddle stool. It is a definite improvement, although it did take me a few days to get used to the seat. At first I thought I had made a mistake as it felt really uncomfortable, but before too long I settled in to it and now it feels nice on my bum. It is much easier on the floor as well for me to roll from desk to desk instead of dragging a hard kitchen chair.
It takes up very little space (which is one of the reasons I went with this stool as opposed to a full-size rolling desk chair) and holds up to 550 lbs (I'm a large dude -- although not that large -- and wanted something that would fully support my weight). Lastly, it was an absolute breeze to put together.
