PDP by DW Drum Throne (PDDT700) in Black

Amazon Customer: I've been using a 23" tall Remo Tubano for a drum throne for years. It's an awesome drum in its own right, plus it makes a good table when needed. But sitting on its hard surface caught up with me last month and I pinched my sciatic nerve real good.
This throne is rock solid ( I weigh 260) and I felt an immediate difference with that 4" padded seat. Again, worth every penny!

Jennifer Bailey: This is a great throne, way cheaper in price than those at music store, but works just as well. Made well, comfortable.

Moese: We picked this stool up to use as while playing guitar and brass instruments. Its adjustability makes it a fit for everyone from our 6-year-old on up. It's sturdy enough that I believe it will last many years. The fact that it folds up makes it very portable.

We have two stools like this, this one, and another. This has thicker cushioning which makes it much more comfortable over time. With our other stool, I only last 30 minutes before I have to get up. This cushion allows me to play for over an hour without getting sore.

For our use, the seat works well but it does loosen up easily. If I was actually using this as a drummer, I would try to figure out how to keep the seat from wobbling. Also, it does not have a swivel, so if you want it to spin, you have to loosen the set screw. This makes the seat wobble as described above...

Overall, for the price, this is an excellent addition to our music room that will be with us for years.

SMSDBA: I got this for playing guitar in my continued quest to find a good seat for extended playing/practice.
I agree with some other reviews of this:

Good:
* Very well constructed & sturdy.
* Good quality metal, good finish and the seat materials seem quite good.
* Quite stable and stays put without any rocking.
* The fasteners secure the legs, set and height adjustments well and they stay locked.
* Breaks down nicely for travel/storage.

Not so good:
* The seat pad is FIRM [and I'm not expecting it to soften up much with use. [My posterior started to get numb after about an hour of practice]. I stuck a foam pad on it as was able to play more. Extended sessions of sitting on this may not be possible for me.
* The lowest height setting wasn't quite low enough/where I wanted it. I'm 5'9" and I want my thighs to be parallel to the floor when seated. I modified the seat post by sawing 2.1 cm off the bottom, then drilling a new hole for the cross bolt. This got it right where I like it. I could see where shorter folks might have issues with the lowest height setting.
* It does swivel even with the under-seat fastener tight, but it looks like...

A. Waldrop: I'll break it down to product/assembly, the use of the item, then costumer service. I'll mention something about height too, just because I know some people who are 6 ft+ might be concerned about items. I'm just under 6'2".

I am very happy with the purchase, and have no complaints (although I just received it today). Actually I only spent about 15 minutes with it, that includes picking the item out of the package, constructing it, setting the height, sitting on it for a few minutes, testing it out for what I intent on primarily using it for. And yes, that was all done in 15 minutes. There is a manual, but it wasn't necessary to read it. There are no separate bags with nuts and bolts, just a few twist knobs, including one with a bolt that you have to manually remove to adjust the height (it also contains a washer, and a small metal piece to secure the connected that particular stand part. The seat can easily stored too. It folds up, and if you are willing, you can break it done into three parts (the Stand, the neck, and the seat)>

Alright, as for using it. As I mentioned earlier, I'm in the moderately tall range (6 feet 1.5 inches.) and I felt the seat felt the...
