Folding Stool - Backless 24-Inch Stool with 225lb Capacity for Kitchen or Rec Room - Portable Indoor Counter Bar Stools by Lavish Home (Black)

I've been using stools exactly like this for decades, bought from Walmart and then Amazon. I'm a keyboard player and use these for gigs. Of the half-dozen I've had over the years, only one failed -- underneath a friend while he was playing my keyboards but he was having too much fun to notice. This particular one, which I see I bought in 2015, is every bit as good as all the rest. I see some reviews that say that the quality had suffered, but those reviews predate my purchase so evidently they have their manufacturing issues fixed.I weigh 175-180 lbs. I wouldn't recommend it for frequent use by someone weighing over say 250 lbs, unless they're pretty careful.The pad is not thick; it's not a cushy comfy stool, but it suits my purpose perfectly, light and folding to a convenient size to pack with all my music gear.Except for the one that failed, all have lasted until they got lost or destroyed. For the price and convenience, you can't beat it.Update: I got another in 2019 after my house burned down. It's identical to the others as far as I can tell, so the quality is still good. Also, it's far more comfortable than my first replacement (which I got from who knows where) because of the angle of the edge of the seat. My first replacement has steeper sides, and is very uncomfortable to sit on or lean on. See photos. The one on the left is this product (Trademark Global), on the right is the Cosco, which looks a bit more rugged, but is uncomfortable as the ridge bites into my thigh.

Great product. compact, good quality.

Used this one as a SASS stool for moving from stage to stage to sit and be a miss counter or just enjoy watching the metal on metal action. It was wobbly and it bent the first time out. JUNK! ONE STAR! I found another one that was "similar looking" with this title"Plastic Development Group ST01 Extremely Portable Lightweight Easy to Clean Steel Frame Black Folding Vinyl Seat Padded Bar Stool"I have used this one for over two years, I hang it on my gun cart and it travels and folds open and closed easily and it has been quite durable. For the intended use it has been a great portable stool. SO, don't buy the one I'm reviewing! But the one named in the text.

What a great little stool, we have purchased two for ourselves and one for my mother-in-law’s tiny home. It supports all my weight 248lbs easily and you don’t feel as though it is fragile, it’s very well made, and with the little mechanism underneath, it can fold up flat for easy storage. Overall a great buy

I got this for an 80something year old man who is quite unforgiving when people try to do a nice thing for him and buy him something he's asked for. If it's not to his majesty's liking, he will quite rudely let you know that he hates it and follows it up with "I just wanted an XXXXX, can't you just find it in a store?"Because of that, when he asked me to get him a couple of stools so he can sit in the kitchen and do more things on his own and be more independent, I was both glad that he wanted to do more for himself, but also quite scared that I'd get something for him that was unsafe and he'd hate it. I was looking at several places- Target supposedly has something similar but none were in stock and as much as I love the old guy, I wasn't going to drop more than a hundred bucks on a stool at a fancy furniture store so I saw this and took a gamble and bought it.It turns out that it's very stable. I gave it a try myself and felt very comfortable on it and the cushion is nice too. The only thing I don't like is that the feet have a hard rubber on them so they tend to slip on a wood or tile floor. I wish it was more sticky. Still, this is a nice stool at a good price.*edit*This was such a big hit that I ordered another one for another 80 year old!

The media could not be loaded. Upon receipt and unpacking, when the chair was placed in the open and locked position, it was very wobbly. The chair has a spring-loaded detent that ensures the foldable chair is fully opened and locked into position so it isn't a case of user error. I took several pictures and videos. Unfortunately, I can only attach one video. Additional videos would depict the wobbly chair placed in several different areas of the floor. They reflect that no matter how the chair is oriented, one leg is about a 1/2" shorter than the others. The home is a new, single story home on a concrete slab. The floors are hardwood or tile. It is not the floors. Other chairs we own do not wobble. The frame must have become twisted to achieve such a result. I would suggest to the seller that the item should have some packing material included to protect it in the oversized box where the item is free to jostle around. I may revise this review if the replacement chair arrives undamaged/undefective. Very disappointed. Update. I received a replacement chair today. What a difference. I changed my overall rating to 5 stars. The replacement chair arrived relatively quickly and was provided with air packs to protect it from rattling around in the oversized box it arrives within. The 2nd surprise was how easily the 2nd chair folds and unfolds as compared to the 1st chair which was very stiff and difficult to open and close. And lastly, this chair sits evenly on the floor. No wobble. I hope the seller learned from the experience. As always, kudos to Amazon for resolving the issue.

Great still. Bought for our camper. It folds up flat to save space.

This stool is very portable and lightweight but feels a bit unstable when in use. It serves its purpose but I feel like I need to be cafeful with it.
