Folding Musician's Chair Standard

It arrived today, set up quickly and I gave it a spin with the cello. I’m able to easily adjust it to the same height I’ve been using at my lessons - 18” front and 20” back. I wanted an adjustable chair because as a beginner I’m not yet sure of the best height. The chair cushion is firm, which I like as I feel secure and comfortable. It feels sturdy. Another review mentioned that the back legs don’t adjust. They do adjust. Simply unscrew the bottom rubber piece and slide them out. I also like the way the chair looks. All black, unobtrusive. Glad I made the plunge. I selected the folding version because my house is small and I might want to tuck it away sometimes. Or, if I get good enough, travel with chair & cello. Adult beginner.

I was a bit hesitant to purchase a chair that costs this much but after seeing so many musicians collectively agree this is a great chair, I took a shot because we don’t easily agree on much. Given that we no longer need physical therapy visits, it’s kind of paid for itself. It really was like night and day the difference. No more pain. It’s nice enough to use to perform and it’s adjustable so really short folks can put their feet flat on the floor and tall folks get the extra height they need. It’s a bit heavy but it’s sturdy so that’s a trade-off but one that’s ultimately worth it.

I didn't want to spend the money for this, but I needed an adjustable and comfortable chair. This was easy to set up and it doesn't squeak unlike my other cheaper bench. Appears durable, so we'll see how it holds up in the future.

As a harpist, I need to sit at the right height to play my large instrument without hurting myself. This chair is absolutely perfect. It is very well-made and sturdy and has a large variety of heights to adjust the seat. It is a life-saver. Highly recommend.

I first saw this chair when looking at a video for an instrument demo (cello) and thought it would be nice to have for myself. I first used it when at a stringed instrument shop playing some cellos, and I was glad they had an adjustable chair there so I wouldn't have my seating position be a hindrance to my instrument evaluation. After comparing prices and considering getting "the standard" for cellos (the Wenger Cello Chair), I opted for the Adjustrite primarily based on price, portability and ability to be adjusted.I got it, set it up - no real set-up, just adjusted the height - and was up and running in no time. It's a heavy chair, definitely felt pretty sturdy and seemed to be well-padded. I didn't put in the hours like I used to back at university, but it performed well during my practice sessions. But for me there two things that bugged me (well, three to be honest, but #3 is definitely subjective): 1) the chair was kinda small for me - I'm over 6 ft tall and it was tall enough, but it felt a bit small for me as far as the actual seating area. 2) the back isn't tall enough to offer full support for my back - this actually bugged me the most when I was resting between pieces, though it is nice to be able to scoot all the way back in a chair when playing cello and have support. 3) honestly, the chair never looked quite right for me. Yeah, sounds stupid, but it's just didn't seem aesthetically pleasing. The nicest folding chair just typically doesn't look as good as a good non-folding chair, and cross-supports and smaller diameter extending legs keep it from looking very clean.The look of the chair actually bugged me the most from the start, but #1 and #2 are what caused me to actually return the chair. I tried to like it for almost 4 weeks, but I knew that I was never really sold on it. I forked out more money for a Wenger cello chair and took care of all three of my concerns. If seat size and back height weren't an issue for me, I would have overlooked the appearance of the chair, but I got more and more nervous as the return window was closing, knowing I really wasn't happy with it and was trying to make myself like it. It was a 4-star product for me based on my needs, though it could easily be a 5-star product for someone else.

Best investment ever ! Finally the harp leans into my body because the chairs can now be adapted to the correct height for balance. Money well spent

Like some other reviewers, I was pretty reluctant to pay $200 for a chair. I mean, how good can it be. Well, I received mine today and I'm here to tell you that it is that good. It's simple, it's sturdy and most importantly it's a joy to sit in. I'm a guitar player and my previous $10-ikea chair was simply torture to sit on. So happy I pulled the trigger on this one.

I am unable to adjust the back legs. On the front legs, there’s a button to push to release each leg to slide out. On the back legs I can find no such button.
