TommyRude Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Sorry to create a likely redundant thread! Looking to find a lightweight / foldable / easy-to-transport stool that's roughly barstool height. Anyone found the magic stool? I have a foldable high stool, but it's heavy and kinda bulky, not so easy to throw in the car.

analogika Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I've repeatedly harped on this: I"ve used the IKEA Nilserik office stool for twenty years now. It"s got a wobbly bottom which allows me to tilt it towards whichever keyboard I"m playing, has a good height, is dirt cheap (50 inkl. VAT), and the wobbliness keeps my lower back mobile. Unfortunately, it doesn't collapse, though you can pull off the seat. But it's reasonably light-weight.

drawback Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I found this one but may not fold down enough for you. But I love the bench aspect. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills Dude Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I've used one of these in the past. Its cheap Walmart crap but it folds up very flat. Walmart folding stool Quote Mills Dude -- Lefty Hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokely Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I mentioned in the other thread, I have a barber stool that maxes at 32" tall, can change height easily and swivels, and has a foot rest...all good stuff. It is heavy and awkward though. It's dying so I'm looking at drafting chairs. These don't look very convenient though to say the least, but they do look very comfy and can be very tall on the plus side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obxa Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 During lockdown while the orchestra was on hiatus at one of the church's I work at, I poached the conductor's chair to use with their B3. Was the most comfortable I've ever been for long rehearsals and playing. Probably not something that's easy to tote though. Still basically a drafting style chair. https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/product_info/pfam_id/PFAM11291/products_id/PRO28806?sc_cid=Google_OSP-DC517V&adtype=pla&kw=&gclid=CjwKCAjw3_KIBhA2EiwAaAAlilwxzmPLcNmSYpx1LN_PPZC38ItXr3HVvjiycS3HYUtxH_e84KUrNhoCC_kQAvD_BwE Since then, I've been experimenting with some of the taller Drummer's thrones that have pneumatic lifts. One of my drummer friends is 6'4' and let me try his "big n tall" Roc-n-Sac that goes higher than the standard. Not sure I love the tractor style seats, but love being able to adjust as needed for comfort. You might consider "shop stools" Amazon has this, which I've been thinking is a pretty good cheap workaround and only 12 lbs: https://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-86992-Adjustable-Swivel-Stool/dp/B06XCPS7PN/ref=asc_df_B06XCPS7PN/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=331778451017&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4564939878577516450&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010869&hvtargid=pla-648920540521&psc=1 Quote Chris Corso www.chriscorso.org Lots of stuff.

MathOfInsects Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I have used this one forever. Folds flat, adjusts easily, has a nice high highest setting. https://www.restockit.com/alera-il-series-height-adjustable-folding-stool-num-alecs612 Quote Now out!

TommyRude Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thanks all, very helpful. I think I have one of those WalMart chairs stashed away somewhere - have to dig that out and give it another looksee.

Morrissey Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Resurrecting this zombie thread to give a heads up that Monoprice is having a one-day discount on its Height Adjustable Sit-Stand Dynamic Stool. Similar to the Ikea stool @analogika recommends. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=36641 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
