They're ALL the Same...

Yes, I, too, was tempted to purchase the Fender stool since I have so much product from Fender. But these aren't made in Fullerton; think further west. If you look at all the photos of all the standard one ring stools, you'll note they all have grey plastic caps on the legs. Same swivel, same padding, same size too. Coincidence? I think not! Due to the construction, they all wobble, they all have seats with a bar code that states that they are made in Vietnam. The Road Runner style uses GC as a prefix, the Fender has an F, and so on. So any flaws in the framework are random, not because you paid more or less for the product. This stool is only available from GC and their affiliates, and for the 31.99 plus tax I paid its a screaming good deal. So you can pay 90 bucks for the Fender or Gretsch or Zildjian label, or save some cheese and get the same stool with a B-A star on the seat. Only recommendation I'd make it to pick up 9 washers to put behind the nuts, and use your socket set for assembly; the wrench that comes with is shabby.

Cheap * Cheap * Cheap

Does not assemble well and I assemble things frequently. Does not spin easily. Has a cheap plastic permanent Saran-wrap like cover over the red/white/blue star logo. The person who helped me misled me; I pointed to a solid black leather-seated stool in the Braintree store and he handed me something in flat box and said "All you do is stick the cushion on." Hardly. Two hours with a half dozen pieces and about 36 nuts and bolts. Directions were a pictorial only and impossible to read the bad quality of this one-sheet do-it-yourself technical writing instruction. If you're going spend $50, invest in a quality brand for the same money. I should have gone to Bed & Bath.

    I had bought a cheaper 28" stool from a different vendor thinking the height difference wouldn't matter...but it turned out to be way too tall for my bedroom playing purposes. I'm 5'9", and I needed something shorter just to position my guitar properly and reach amp controls and pedals comfortably. It would've been neat to have something branded with "Gibson" or "EVH" or something, but those licensed stools are twice the price! And they appear to be the exact same thing! This stool is perfectly adequate. The cushion is a bit stiff but not terrible. The only thing is that it's very challenging to put together without your own tools. I highly recommend using a decent Allen key set and a socket wrench set, because tightening the locking nuts is very difficult with the tiny tools provided.

  • Great seat, just needs washers

    I wanted some stools for my practice space, this was on sale, so I grabbed one. These can easily come loose, so you need to add 1/4 inch washers between the locking nuts and the frame, these should really come with washers, so not 5 stars. Assembly takes some time, but you definitely need to use a socket wrench to tighten things up well. With washers and the right tools, it came out rock solid, reasonably comfortable and I bought two more to spread around my rehearsal space.

  • I would buy this item again.
