1) Submitted by T.Boldt, from Las Vegas, NV on 8/4/2009 Customer Rating: I had no problem assembling the stool. I read all the reviews first so I would head off any issues. I did take the advice of one reviewer and I used screws and glue in the top of the leg assembly.

2) Submitted by Vicki Walker, from Antioch, IL on 5/4/2008 Customer Rating: I bought this stool for my son. He uses it to play tympani for a drum and bugle corp. He loves the stool especially after I padded and upholstered the seat. His father put it together for him and also used different screws. Thanks for a great product.

3) Submitted by Dave Edwards, from Cooperstown, NY on 11/30/2007 Customer Rating: Wooden pieces seem to be quality hardwoods Round tenons on the legs seem to be short and not a tight fit, but probably adequate with enough glue. Directions refer to 3 sets of 3 different screws plus a hex tool, however only 2 wood screws were supplied for the seat attachment (there were only 2 pre drilled holes despite the instructions indicating 3)) and they were inadequate. There was no hex tool. I replaced these 1 inch # 6 screws with 1 1/2 inch # 10 wood screws. The other set of screws for the lower wooden disc attachment seemed inadequate so I replaced them with 3 inch deck screws. The screws for the metal ring had a hex head so I replaced them with a similar screw with a Phillips head. There were no wooden buttons to cover the recessed screws holding the lower disc if in fact these screws are meant to be recessed (my deck screws were). The web assembly instructions refers to "3 wooden inserts"--I have no idea what these are. The assembly directions on the web site, taped to the box and inside the box were all similar, but not exactely the same. Apparently the directions have gone thru an evolution as have some parts. Suggestion: don't even open the glue bottle until you have dry assembled and evaluated all the hardware to make sure you have adequate size and number of screws. A trip to the hardware store may be necessary before final assembly. When finished it appears to be sturdy enough for my anticipated use.

4) Submitted by Dan, from Park City, UT on 7/19/2008 Customer Rating: Exactly as Dave in Cooperstown said in his review. Rather than plagiarizing his comments, I'd encourage anyone to read his review. It was accurate in my case "to the T".

5) Submitted by Richard Isaac, from Dahlonega , GA on 11/26/2007 Customer Rating: Fastener alignment was not easy. Adjustable seat does not work easily with the wood on wood screw adjustment. This stool is not the quality you expect. Editor's note: For any wood on wood movement such as the threads on this stool a lubricant such as 10140 Slip-It sliding compound works great.

6) Submitted by Robert Tompkins, from Albuquerque, NM on 9/29/2007 Customer Rating: The hex screws included with this stool are of very low quality and the hex heads stripped before I could even get the screws completely tightened. The stool does not have good balance and is easy to tip over. Other than these complaints the stool works well. The legs need to have a wider spread so that the stool will not tip over so easy, and the screws need to be of higher quality.

7) Submitted by Paul T. Jackson, from Enumclaw, WA on 10/15/2007 Customer Rating: I've used these type of stools[]for the past five years. I use them as a timpani player and some string base players use them as well. They are light enough to carry from gig to gig venues. They are less expensive by about half or more than the metal drum thrones that are unable to go high enough for my needs. My engineer son, to keep the seat from wearing quickly on the screw post, suggested I put a lag screw through the top of the seat into the wood screw post(with a wide washer.) One needs to drill a center hole first. Afterward, put a nice cover over the seat to hide the lag screw and washer. As another reviewer said; it is easy to tip it over but I suspect that depends on how you are sitting on it, and it tips over easily if one accidentally brushes aside it, but that doesn't take away from its utility. Also, I've not had problems getting the hex screws in, nor did they strip...a problem if the hex wrench is cheap or not an exact fit. I use a drill bit. I've had three (well still have three)in various states of repair and use them up to 5 times a week. One is at the school where we rehearse, one is in Michigan for use when I'm at Interlochen, and one I'm carrying around to various other rehearsals.
