Studio Designs 13307 Retro Stool, Rustic Oak,19" W x 19" D x 26" H

Awesome stool! It perfectly matches the Rustic Oak Drafting Table I bought from the same company. The stool was easy to assemble. I put it together in less than 5 minutes. It looks great and it is easy to raise and lower to go along with my drafting table. When the table is tilted, I can lower the stool. When the table is horizontal, I can raise the stool to work at the taller surface. The stool is very sturdy and does not wobble when I'm sitting on it. It's just what I needed.

This stool is exactly what I needed. It was reasonably priced, looks nice with a beautiful finish on the seat (as shown) and the mechanism works very smoothly and quickly! I measure the height of the stool down as 19 1/2 and all the way up at 25 1/2. I am barely 5'5" and when the stool is up the foot ring at the bottom is a good height for me to put my feet on. I feel stable. I had a question for them so I called the number on the packing slip. There was a short prompt which took me directly to a real live (friendly) person. He was very helpful and intent on having people happy with their product. I would be very comfortable buying anything else from this company.

I sit a lot for work and was getting pain from sitting in my regular office chair. This stool is great, the height adjusts easily and it is sturdy. I like that it allows (forces really) me to sit up straight and is improving my posture. Great product.

Beautiful stool that was very easy to assemble (less than a couple of minutes). It is fun to sit on, I like the spin, and going up and down is smooth. It actually glides over rugs and floors easily, as if it has wheels. It has a good span of heights, going really low and high almost like a bar stool. The first one arrived with a crack going down the edge that I didn't notice until after I built it. The replacement stool arrived with some dents on top of the wood, too. The wooded seat arrives inside bubble wrap and a cardboard shell, but all of that is loosely wrapped around it, so it still moves around everywhere inside the box. If the manufacturer would have put the seat with the padding taped up tighter to where there's no movement of the seat, I think the seats would have arrived unscathed. Hopefully the manufacturer will see my review and fix that. I do still recommend this, because it's the nicest stool I've found.

This stool is the perfect companion for the Studio Designs Vintage Rustic Oak Drafting table. My stool is sturdy and can be raised to any height. I love it. Put it together myself in minutes. This was my first review but today 2/12/2016, my stool seat broke in half while I was drawing. I only weigh 130 lbs. so it was not because I am too heavy for it. Perhaps I was not sitting directly in the center - I don't know but I fell hard and am nmot hapopy with this purchase today.

I use this little stool for drawing and table top work. It's well anchored, solid and visually very appealing. Now and then, a find product comes out. This is one of them. Thank you!

I didn't even need to use the instructions...NO TOOLS NEEDED...you take the base, you take the arm that holds the seat and then put them together and it is ready to go. Be sure to remove the plastic protector at the bottom of the post off as it is designed to protect the bottom. I didn't take mine off and it cracked and I thought I broke the post. I then removed that part and put it together and I have an amazing stool for my drafting table. Well worth the money and great quality!!!

Edit: I've had it a bit less than a year, and the weld that connects the sleeve to the base that screws to the seat broke. I got dumped on the floor. Luckily I was not hurt. I loved it until then. Examining the weld, it was a bad weld. If you've been on a shop stool, you know what this is like. I've been using it for awhile as both a piano bench and also a jeweler's stool which are very different requirements for height. This works great for both. It is REALLY sturdy, adjusts beautifully, is made of sturdy construction and the seat is a nice wood seat with a comfortable profile. Whoever designed this sat on it and revised and sat and revised until they got something they were content with and then I got the benefit of that. I _love_ quality:) It seems it will last forever.
