K&MKonig & Meyer 14044.000.55 - Performance Stool - Ergonomic Seat Adjust Height/Angle - Adjust Footrest Position - Professional Grade for all Musicians - German Made - Black Durable Fabric

I like almost everything about this stool ... I'm a little on the tall side and most music store staple offerings just are not high enough ... now I can get a stool with a height that suits me which can be adjusted with ease for various applications or when someone else with different physical features wants to use it ... it travels well and is built solid enough to take the rigors of gigging ... the seat is very comfortable: thick padding / size and shape that contours well ... as I said, it appears to be one of the best choices out there for musicians who need comfort, portability, adjustability and durability ...*I have only one negative: The foot rest, while adjustable, it is not a quick change like the seat height. You'll want to find a good setting and leave it there. If the adjustment for the footrest were enhanced to be as easy as the seat, this would be as perfect a stool as could be found, in my opinion.Note: The price is high so if you just need something to sit on without being concerned with the features this stool offers, then save your money. However, if you have been constantly unsatisfied with cheaper offerings out there, like I have, either due to the lack of adjustability or questionable durability, then cut your losses and end your search here ... as I said, very close to perfect for an active musician ...

Yea.. it's not cheap. But it is well designed with top notch materials. Height adjustment and seat adjustment are very good. Seat is actually comfortable. A lot more than a flat bench or stool. And material feels a lot better than a hard surface. Folds up easy and not too heavy to take out to a gig. I use it for guitar and saxophone. Looking into the back brace now. I had high expectations as they were exceeded. Great performance stool.

My husband loves this stool! He likes to be in a sitting position when playing for long periods, and has always been at the mercy of whatever chair or stool was available at the place and time. We finally started looking for a stool for him to have, that was comfortable yet light and easy to pack up and carry. This stool is the ultimate session and gigging musician's stool. The seat is extremely comfortable, angle adjustable and awesome looking. The pneumatic cylinder makes it very convenient to adjust the height, even while seated, and the height adjustable footrest simply adds to the comfort and flexibility. The hardware quality is excellent throughout, and after use, the entire thing quickly folds up into a flat 14 lb. package...well worth every penny.

My son uses this when he plays the double bass. He loves it. It is sturdy. The seat is large and generously cushioned. It's adjustability has allowed him to get a good fit for his playing needs. Although it is collapsible to make it easier to pack into a vehicle, there are lighter weight stools we could have purchased. Nevertheless, he loves it and chose it over lighter models. It is much more portable than a standard barstool, which he had used prior to this. The stool looks very professional and would look fitting in a formal concert hall.

First off...I am a big guy at 6'5" and pushing 300lbs. Needless to say I wanted a stool that was sturdy enough but also adjustable enough. I wanted this for Double Bass, especially when I am standing at long rehearsals. However, I was very hesitant based on the price and looking to go with something cheaper. After a lot of looking (and reading reviews) my wife talked me into this one (which was also highly rated at my favorite online double bass retailer...but they did not offer a version without the backrest). It came well packed, and other than attaching the footrest it was fully assembled. The biggest challenge (trial and error) was finding a good height for both the stool and the footrest. I eventually played it for awhile only to lower it a bit more and bingo...the perfect setup. I can now transition quickly from sitting to standing with ease.The saddle shape and cushion is excellent, as is the build quality. I also love how it folds and is easy to transport. When sitting is it rock solid and I am fully supported. Note that earlier I mentioned backrest. I didn't order one with it due to 1)cost and 2)a review that mentioned the backrest made it less portable. After using this about two weeks now I am glad I didn't buy the backrest. I find the position I have doesn't need it, and I can see it would make it much less portable. Still, I can easily add it if my back demands it down the road.Finally, the adjustability is excellent. I have regular height stools for playing guitar (about 24") and am running this right at 30" and it is perfect for DB. Recall I am 6'5". I could raise this much higher, but even a few inches higher and I was having to raise myself up to get on the stool (I have a 34" inseam). At 30" I just sit back with no issues and easily stand up while playing.So, if you are like me and a bit put off by the price, don't be. This one is totally worth it and will get a lot of use. It has a 5 year warranty that gives me piece of mind as well.

Stool seat is comfortable but rubber legs keep falling off. Contacted seller and will sell new parts but won't replace parts that should stay on stool after 3 months...Not good customer service for a $324 seat and rubber feet are less than $5 to replace...Buy Elsewhere !!!

What a nice seat for a long performance--solid as a rock. It's easy to adjust the seat height, but not so much for the footrest height. That's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. For most of us if the seat height changes then the footrest height needs to change proportionately. This is a well-built product that just costs a lot. I don't think I could ever wear it out. It doesn't fold down very much for transport, and it is heavy, but it's the best performance stool I've seen.

Overall, very disappointing. The seat is uncomfortable and just doesnt seem worth the high cost. It does feel solid and folds away easily though. I won't return it but I would not recommend buying it to anyone else.

Very solid chairconfortableHappy with this chair

Lo utilizo para estudiar con el contrabajo, sentado! Super cómodo, estable, práctico

Solide deutsche, bekannte K&M Qualität. Sehr angenehmes Arbeiten, auch praktisch beim Zwiebelschneiden in der Küche.. herrlich! 100 Punkte .

Ich habe den Hocker erworben, um in der Küche beim Schnippeln der Zutaten an unserem Ausziehtisch sitzen zu können. Alle Klappstühle waren zu niedrig und alle Barhocker und Stehhocker zu hoch und auch noch zu klapprig. Ich wiege 128 KG und der Stuhl steckt mich ohne Ächzen und Knarren weg. da gingen sicher noch 25 KG mehr. Stabil ohne Ende, Stahlrohre und diese wie es aussieht pulkverbeschichtet, absolut wertige Verarbeitung. 5 Jahre Garantie, sehr bequeme Sitzfläche, Höhenverstellbar vom Hocker bis zum Barhocker, da kann nix schiefgehen. Der Preis ist nicht gerade niedrig, aber der Qualität und Verarbeitung des Produktes absolut angemessen. Eines der wenigen verbliebennen Produkte MADE IN GERMANY, alleine schon deshalb sollte man es kaufen... ☺ Wer billig kauft, kauft meistens doppelt! Ich würde diesen Hocker SOFORT wieder kaufen !!!

Excelente banco, en costo es caro, pero la utilidad es lo que cuenta así como la comodidad para un guitarrista.
