Stool arrived today - very promptly after only a couple of days all the way German to England. Impressive. Easy to assemble although the spanner provided was a little inaccurate, size wise, so I used my own. What I didn't realise when I ordered this item is that it 'revolves'. That seems to be a good idea although I have ONE reservation - the material covering the seat is obviously durable, and easy to clean, but is incredibly shiny and slippery. With shiny trousers on I could well see myself spinning and sliding off the stool if I get carried away with my guitar practice! A suede type of finish would perhaps have been a better choice, although looking at the other stools on offer, on the website, they do all seem to be similarly covered - except perhaps one, which appears to be leather, but double the price. Only time will tell whether I survive, or need a seat belt !!!!! Overall quality is as one might expect from Thomann - superb.
