S. D. A. B.: This is the second one I have bought. I bought this one for the church I now attend. The previous one was sturdy and kept my back comfortable with the backrest on long service plays. Putting this one together was like riding a bike. This is a vast improvement on the seat I met there.

CyberiusCyberius: 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 it

Price - 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

Bob Bear: As an ageing bass guitarist I have developed back issues. This stool is very good quality and very sturdy but it didnt work for me. The stool leans the player forward, I found this uncomfortable, to get back support i needed to purposefully lean back and hold the position. I found this awkward and distracting from my playing. This may suit some players and I would of liked to of tried it with the round seat. I have sent it back. But it is a well made stool.

seadiver: 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.

Eugene SwankEugene Swank: I bought this for use as a classical and electric guitar practice chair based on other reviews. So far it works really well for this. I am about 5’11” 168 lb and with the seat at its lowest the tops of my legs are parallel to the ground. The very front of the seat is about 19-1/2” in this position. I had an ergonomic evaluation at work once and was told this is optimal for posture and fatigue in the workplace so I went with that here. If you are significantly shorter you may want to look at something which goes lower unless you want some angle between the top of your legs and the floor. This chair has been comfortable for a couple of hours at a time which is about all I have time for. I don’t use the backrest while actually practicing but it is nice to have when you want to break for a couple of minutes. It is a bit of a short coming to not include a wrench for the seat lock (not a drummer) but I found that a 1/4” box end wrench works perfectly without stripping the square bolt. It is portable, doesn’t rattle, and actually feels a little heavier than it looks. Happy with this purchase.

tony red: Dopo un bel po' di tempo ho capito che la sedia per suonare la chitarra adatta per me probabilmente non esiste.
Intendiamoci questo sedile Gibraltar è fatto con materiali sicuramente ottimi, è molto stabile, abbastanza pesante discretamente duro, regolabile a diverse altezze , provvisto di schienale , ma comunque a mio avviso non esente da alcuni difetti abbastanza importanti.
È uno dei più cari in circolazione pertanto credo che gli altri siano decisamente inferiori.
I lati negativi per me di questo sedile sono:
- la seduta , per quanto abbiano utilizzato materiali buoni, è comunque di piccole dimensioni; avrei preferito un maggiore sostegno per le parti alte delle cosce che invece sono quasi libere a causa della sua forma triangolare
- la seduta è leggermente inclinata in avanti e certo Questo non mi fa stare comodo pertanto ho dovuto fissare
al piedino anteriore un tacchetto di legno di 2,5 cm e così adesso non sono più sbilanciato in avanti
- lo schienale sarebbe stato molto comodo se non fosse che , anche se tirato tutto indietro , cade comunque all'interno della circonferenza del sedile e questo ti costringe e non poter usare tutta la seduta

JimO: Updated 7/2/20: I found an additional adjustment on the base that allowed me to better secure it to the seat cushion, resulting in most of the “rocking” motion noted in my original review to be eliminated. However, the “installation instructions” need to be improved to cover this better. I’ve upgraded my overall rating to 4 stars (from 3).
Original review:The chair seems well-made and works o.k. for my guitar practice sessions. It did take a little patience putting together. Also, the seat cushion is not as comfortable as I was expecting but the back-rest provides decent support. My biggest issue is I can’t seem to get the stem that attaches the base to the seat cushion tight enough so it doesnt rock a bit when I sit on it. Also, the wingnut that secures the base to the seat periodically comes loose. And I’m not that big a person at 175 lbs. For a premium-priced seat I was expecting a better functioning seat.

GüBeMo: ...auch immer noch deutl. preiswerter als Hocker dieser Machart von Herstellern klingender Marken wie z.B. die, diverser Hersteller von Drums.
Super bequem, auch (oder gerade) für "Schwergewichte" mit entspr. "Koffer", schwer u. massiv, tadellose Verarbeitung, aufwändige u. durchdachte Feststellmechaniken, edler u. angenehmer Samtveloursbezug, und - last but not least - eine ebenso funktionelle wie bequeme Rückenlehne.
Aufgrund immer wiederkehrender Kritik in div. Rezensionen an dem (angebl. zu großen) Abstand der Rückenlehne zur Sitzfläche, sah ich mich schon im Geiste Flex oder Eisensäge ansetzen, um den Bügel der Lehne unter der Sitzfläche ein Stück zu kürzen, und so den Abstand praktikabel zu gestalten...
...was sich aber nach dem Zusammenbau (im Karton in 4 Teile zerlegt: Untergestell, Sitzfläche, Lehne u. Bügel) in Luft auflöste: Den Bügel bis zum Anschlag in der Führung unter d. Sitzfläche eingeschoben u. fixiert, d. Lehne bis bündig rauf zur Abdeckkappe des Bügels u. fixiert - und siehe da, es ist PERFEKT!
Ich sitze aufrecht und habe dennoch festen Kontakt mit dem Rücken zur Lehne - besser geht's praktisch gar nicht mehr - also genau so,...
