Just bought this throne for playing guitar and synthesizers at home. I could not be more satisfied with the quality. Despite the fact that these thrones are sold primarily for drummers, they are perfect for guitar playing (I found out this by watching a popular British youtube channel, where they use two Tama thrones with backrests for guitar playing). I could also see someone using this as an office stool for computer or any other purpose, where such a stool is needed.
The build quality is very high and the product is well packed for shipping, easy to assemble, has tight tolerances and fit of parts. The throne feels sturdy and stable, is built using thick materials, and is suitable also for a bigger guy like myself. The operation of the gas strut is smooth and feels heavy duty. The strut has a large adjustment range between low and high positions and it does not retract much when you sit on the throne. The seat rotates freely. High quality materials have been used everywhere. The seat is large and consists of a relatively stiff ergonomically shaped foam and a combination of leather and fabric. Often overlooked feature that I want to mention is that the rubber feet and the fabrics used do not have any "new chair / furniture smell" or odor. Therefore this product is suitable for people who are sensitive to such smells and the chair can be taken into use immediately after unpacking it. I bought the chair without the optional backrest, but it is good to know that it can be installed afterwards, if needed.
Great product, highly recommended!
