* update: don’t use CavaCide on! Will discolor material on seat. I give the chair with the backrest 2 stars. Chair without the backrest 5 stars. I was not able to review separate. I have used these chairs for a few months. I am a dental hygienist. I looked at a lot of reviews looking for other medical professionals that have used these products, not a lot available for reviews. I prefer the no backrest saddle chair over the saddle stool chair with the backrest. The no backrest saddle chair’s pad is more comfortable and not as hard on the tail bone as the saddle stool with the backrest. The backrest stool is very firm and has very little padding. Makes my reared soar at end of the day. This chair with no backrest is designed wider, with a more gradual curve between the legs, the seams are more flush with the chair but protrude a little bit, the saddle horn area is smaller and has less curve for more comfort. The chair with the backrest the seams dig into my legs and feel as if I am sitting on a ledge at the end of 9hour shift. Both chairs I find I am forced to sit straight and hold my posture better. Both are very stable, however you have to hold the chair when sitting down or standing up to prevent it rolling away. The casters are very smooth rolling on the floors and the height will adjust easily. It was very easy to put together and looks like an expensive chair around the other medical equipment. It is easy to disinfect and has not faded with the cavi wipes yet. I highly recommend the chair without the backrest, as it does not hurt my legs or rear end the way the saddle stool chair with the backrest does. I wish I had two of the no backrest chair and not the one with the backrest because this chair is easier to be comfortable sitting on for 9 hours a day. Also, when practicing I am able to navigate around the patients easier and able to get closer without intruding on their bubble or needing to slide my legs under the patient chair. Keeping my hips better aligned for posture. Highly recommended. I was surprised to find the saddle stool with the backrest has a different saddle design. See pictures. I am 5’3” and female, the Dr tried to sit on it that was 6’ and was very uncomfortable. The other Dr 5’8” smaller body build was uncomfortable as well. Seemed the chairs are both too small for the men I work with. The backrest is removable on the chair however it was the design of the hardness's and sharper curvature that made the chair with backrest uncomfortable after a long day. Read more
Thes saddle stool I've ever had. I do brows and love how supportive this is! The wheels glide so nice too Read more
As soon as I put it together and sat on it at my work-at-home desk, I immediately thought I would love it. I always slouch in my regular office chair causing a tight low back, tight shoulders, and tight neck. The saddle chair corrects your posture from your butt up to your neck. The seat padding is comfortable. The shape of the seat pan is perfect for me (I'm average-sized 5'7" woman). The rubber casters are high quality. When you get it out of the box, the backrest is set all the way forward leaving no room to sit, so you must adjust the backrest even get in it. To adjust the backrest, you must pull up the lock lever, adjust the backrest forward or back to your liking, then push down the lock lever. Update: after a few days of using this chair, I realize that I can only sit in it for a couple hours at a time before my sit bones need a break. I want to sit in it all day because it does align your posture, but my butt just can't handle a full workday in it. I'm going to look into kneeling chairs. Read more
Very easy to assemble. Takes some getting used to because it is a wide seat and you feel like you're mounting a horse, but I like it. I think it's meant for those with wider backside. The wheels are great. Read more
Purchased this stool for my wife who's a professional hair stylist and she absolutely loves it! From the very comfortable cushion to the easy height adjustment right down to the easy gliding and quiet wheels she raves about it! While there was a slight issue, a quick message to Zuoing Furniture got an immediate response from Ella who was able to make things right in short order! Excellent product and superb customer service! Read more
For the past six months or so I've been dealing with chronic inflammation of my SI join, and so I bought this Antlu saddle stool in hopes that it would help ease the discomfort from sitting for long periods. Being an artist, I'm constantly at the table working, and the saddle-like design of this chair, in theory, seemed to have been just what I was looking for. While the chair appears to be well made and sturdy, it is however very uncomfortable to sit in for longer periods. While it does help ease pressure on your back and spine, it instead places it entirely upon your sit bones, and as a result actually winds up aggravating my inflamed joint. The seat does have ample cushioning, but the faux leather covering material is very stiff with little give. Too me it's like a bicycle saddle, albeit wider, and having put thousands upon thousands of miles cycling over the years, I can attest to how uncomfortable those things get after a while. I was thinking that there might be a bit of a break-in period as with a new pair of boots, but after a few days of regular use I'm finding that it's just doing more harm than good. Another problem with it is that your backside is going to sweat. I'm in the basement, during the winter months, and it's rather cold down here, but when I got up to stretch after about an hour last night I found my boxers damp from perspiration. While some may find this saddle stool suitable for their needs, it was a fail for me, despite how much I wanted it to work. If Antlu had made this chair with memory foam and a fabric cover, I think I'd have loved it. Read more
Massage Therapist- easy to put together! The wheels are whispers quite! Comfortable seat and easy smooth rolling around my table! Very happy! Read more
I’ve been in the dental field since 2003 and just got my first saddle stool! It’s so versatile. You can adjust the height and tilt. The rollerblade wheels make it so easy to move behind the chairs. It was so easy to assemble and it’s very good quality! My hips and back have never felt better. Read more
