This was definitely one of my more capricious buys but I have to say I love having this stool in my home studio (and often the living room)! It's the perfect combination of a comfy second seat in the studio which doesn't take up too much room, and when working standing up it makes bouncing from one section of the studio to another a breeze, which really helps the workflow. It's also super convenient when DJing, especially during longer sessions, since when it is fully extended, you can just rest your weight on it while still (almost) standing. I've had it for about 4 years now and it is still in fantastic condition - great build quality all around. :)
