Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been outfitting my home office with an adjustable height workstation, specifically suited for me to stand up or sit down while working. When I saw this item by Learniture I was excited because it was far more affordable than some of the "perching stools" that I had looked at, as well as compact and versatile. The product arrived at my door a day earlier than projected and was packaged very nicely (efficiently and effectively) - thanks Learniture! Pros: - great, fast service/delivery - INCREDIBLY easy to assemble - no tools required and it can be done in less than two minutes (you will take about a minute to double-check that you have, in fact, done everything necessary). - very comfortable and sturdy - the seat is a rounded triangle with a SLIGHTLY concaved center. The base is heavy, but not unnecessarily so (the weight keeps you upright) - adjusting the height is smooth and simple Cons: - Initially, it was a little tough to get the seat to adjust at all. After I actually put weight on it, though, I haven't had an issue. - Although this is far from fragile I also don't anticipate it holding up to a lot of traffic. For instance, I probably wouldn't put this in a shared office space where multiple people use it casually (note: I ordered a vinyl seat, not leather). - I'm about 5'5" (65") tall and the standing height of my desk is currently comfortable at 43" (while standing on a 1" anti-fatigue mat). The maximum height of the stool is 27" so it doesn't really allow me to "perch" while standing. Granted, it doesn't say that is what it's for but I purchased it before erecting my adjustable desk so I wasn't aware of what kind of height I might need. It's not the greatest accessory for a stand-up desk (unless you're 5'3" and shorter ;-)), but it is still a solid, functional stool that is reasonably priced. I'm hoping that maybe there is an "extension set" that I might invest in!
