I have sciatica & can't stand for long periods, so I needed a stool in the kitchen to do tasks at the counter/sink/stove while sitting. This was the only thing in a reasonable (...) price range. Good quality materials, cushy seat. I was a little concerned that the foot rest would interfere with movement, but now am Very glad of it. In order to be high enough to work on the counters, I really need it to rest my feet on, cause I'm short (5'2"). But if you don't want to use it, you can just leave it off (Very Easy assembly). I bought the model with castors for hard floors (very smooth motion), but it does Not roll on carpet, so be sure to get the one you need (different castors for carpet). The seat also is able to tilt about 30 degrees forward.
The only reason it didn't receive (...) stars, is that it's NOT really a true "saddle" seat unless you are a really BIG/TALL person?
The seat measures 16" WIDE! and has only a gentle 30 degree incline to the sides, which makes you feel impossibly BOWLEGGED it you try to use it like a real saddle seat with your feet pointing forward. Because of this, if I try to incline the seat forward, I still can't touch the floor with my feet and so slide off (the saddle part is not angled high enough to keep you from sliding off).
But maybe, it's not such a bad thing, because true saddle seats with smaller "footprints" put more pressure on your tush and are less comfortable (like bike seats). So despite this one major drawback, it's still a great, comfortable stool in this price range and there's nothing else remotely close, so I'm happy enough to keep it.Get more detail about OSPST205 - Backless Stool, Saddle Seat, 22-1/2x22-1/2x25-35, Black.
