OK so this is really too soon to write a review but I really wanted to comment on the "expert assembly" that is offered with this product. At the time of this writing they ask for over $65! It took me longer to unbox this chair than it did to assemble it - and that without the need for any tools! Seriously folks, if you have at least one opposable thumb, you can assemble this in about a minute - unless you take the time to read the instructions - then it might take a little longer.
The chair comes in 3 pieces: 1.) unfold the leg 2.) slip the seat bottom over the back post and position it in one of the holes 3.) slip the seat back over the back pole and position it as well.
Oops! I lie. I said no tools needed. You will need some scissors or a pocket knife to cut the zip tie that holds the foot rest during shipment.
OK since I am here I can offer my initial impressions on the chair. Weighing in at just under 25 pounds as measured with my luggage scale, some might find this a little heavy. (but for heavy steel construction what else would you expect?) The chair is VERY easy to assemble/disassemble for transport with no tools needed. I like the many positions that are possible. It is very quick and easy to adjust the backrest which might come in handy during a gig. You could use different positions to change up your posture/back support. You pull the know and slide the rest up or down to the next hole. You could even do this one handed, and without looking.
The construction looks pretty solid (I am close to 300 lbs and feel secure).
The seat feels just wide enough for me. The foam padding feels a bit stiff just out of the box, but that may be a good thing in the long run, as the chair gets broken in.
If I had to complain about anything it might be the design of the rear post that slopes at close to 45 degrees. The results is that the higher you place the back rest, the further back it also goes. In its highest position you may find your tailbone resting against the lower part of the back post when you sit back. That said, I am over 6 feet in height with a long torso. in the highest position the back rest is a littler higher than directly between my shoulder blades. That may be higher than most will really need. I actually find the lower positions preferable as they do a good job of supporting the lumbar region.
Another reviewer commented that the chair tended to tip forward when he leaned forward on it. I guess that may be true with the seat in the lowest positions, but it does it in a very predictable way, much like an ordinary chair. In the highest positions I couldn't really get it to tip forward at all. If you need to reach down to the floor to adjust pedals or pick up instruments, you may possibly need to exercise a modicum of care. I wouldn't be too worried about it though - certainly not enough to let it affect your purchase decision. I really don't think it is any better or worse than any other type of this chair.
Guitar players: the foot rest can be set from 4" to 11". There are 5 holes/positions, but by going past the bottom hole you can get a 6th position at a 4" height.
So that is my opinion after owning this chair for about an hour. Very satisfies so far. I'll try to revise this after I have some gigging experience with it, and get the chance to see how it holds up.
UPDATE: Played a gig with this chair for the first time. Did a couple of 45 minutes sets. You will never confuse the comfort of this chair with your grandma's overstuffed armchair, but it does perform well at a gig. Basically I pretty much forgot about it throughout the gig, except for one moment when I wanted a little more lumbar support and was able to
quickly make a very effective adjustment. At the end of the night nothing was sore or tired, so I guess this is a pretty good chair for keyboardists (me) and guitarists.
It was a little awkward to pack and move, even without the seat and back in place. One of the foot rest plastic grip thingies slipped off the foot rest a little too easily, but I remedied it with a few dabs of rubber cement. Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase and would buy it again. Perfect? no, very adequate? yes.

comfortable, extremely versatile, folds up fast
I use this seat as a lab stool at my kitchen counter. I work at the counter so much, on both cooking and cosmetics preparation and experimentation, that I would be on my feet the whole day if I didn't have a seat. I searched for a long time for an appropriate stool, and tried several kinds before I found this one.The issues that I needed to address, and that this chair fulfills, are these:comfortable seat for long hours of workease of getting onto and off of the seat (in other words, armless)fully adjustable seat height with a wide range of heights WITHOUT pneumatic mechanismfully adjustable footrest that could be put out of the way entirelyhigh backrestsmall footprint for my small kitchencollapsibie (again, for my small kitchen)vegan-friendly (no leather)allergy- and kitchen-friendly (no cloth upholstery)not completely hideousThat is a long and very difficult list of requirements to fulfill.One thing I really love about the chair is that I can fold and unfold the back legs with one foot while tipping the chair forward with one hand, to make more space to walk around in the kitchen. I can just lean it forward into the counter and leave it there. I can also just leave it free-standing like this if I leave the legs just slightly apart. See my photo for how small the chair becomes in this quick storage configuration.I have several work tables in addition to the counter, and these are lower. I am 5'8" so I need a very high seat at the counter. So it's fabulous that I can adjust the seat to table height and to counter height. I haven't found that feature in any other chair or bar stool.The chair is pretty heavy. I would have preferred a chair that I could easily pick up and move with one hand while holding a bowl of something in the other hand. If not that, then slidability comparable to my wooden stools with their plastic feet. The feet of this chair are VERY grippy, making it impossible to kick the chair out of the way when both hands are full. I can see this as a good feature for people performing on small stages, of course. But I am looking for harder nylon feet that would make it easy to slide the chair over the tile.Since I am not using the chair to commute between gigs, I don't have much of a portability issue. However, I can say that the chair fits easily into the passenger seat of my Toyota MR2 (a two-seater) with the legs folded but WITHOUT removing the seat from the post.I had some difficulty with the chair at first. The seat slides up and down on the support bar, and the parts fit together so tightly that the seat got stuck near the top of the support and I couldn't budge it. I emailed Quik Lok but their solution was to send the chair back for a replacement. Especially since the chair wouldn't fit in its original box like that, their solution was more trouble than asking my boyfriend to apply more force than I could muster. I chose the latter strategy and it worked. So if your chair gets stuck at first, get a strong friend to help you. It will loosen up with a few uses. If it doesn't, a little silicone spray or similar slidey stuff will also work.
