I bought this for practice at home- Iβm not a giant or very heavy but not tiny and light either (180cm, 80kg) , so it suited me down to the ground. Iβve read from other reviewers that it broke easily or seemed flimsy, but mine one is sturdy, comfortable and it is great to sit on and play. I feel like Iβm on a 70βs tv show and could sit and play on this stool all day! The guitar stand on the back is super convenient and again, is sturdy, adjustable and balanced. Highly recommended!
