MEEDEN Artist Wooden Drafting Stool: Adjustable Height Art Stool for Studio

I love this little adjustable stool. I use it at my make-up table. It works in a tiny space and is a beautiful wood tone. It was easy to assemble.

First semi-comfortable seat I could find for drafting, or for doing almost anything else from a sitting position, since it's flat, sturdy, and height-adjustable. The first one started wobbling after about a year of daily use. The wobbling began where the central metal rod had been fused to the circular metal plate as one piece. Fortunately--after I'd gotten another of these stools in the beech color and then read the enclosed Meeden product warranty--their customer service team responded to my e-mail within a few days. The agent was friendly and accommodating, offering a whole new stool when the replacement part I'd needed wasn't available. It came within a week of my confirming that I wanted it. The photos show the broken walnut stool being used as a coffee table and footrest (not sure if I'll end up keeping it for that or not), the newer beech stool, and the replacement walnut stool with the lifetime warranty. I wish there were also a version of this with height-adjustable armrests and a 90-degree, upright backrest. This minimal stool is useful for many things, though, and can fit into narrow spaces thanks to the tripod-style legs.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I liked the fact this stool is not cumbersome. No five legs, no wheels, no back support, just the round seat with three legs. Very easy to put together, comes with all parts and tools so you don't need anything else, seems to be very well made, we'll see how long it lasts. Very east to adjust up and down by rotating the seat. The adjusting metal screw appears to be very strong, no worries here. Once you buy a round snug cushion (available at Amazon) it is very comfortable. The design is great, as I mentioned it is very unobtrusive, easy to get on and easy to get off, excellent rotation. Very light and you can easily place it under the the table. If you will be drafting all day long then I recommend you get a high chair with all the bells and whistles. This stool is convenient for quick projects or if you need to be on and off constantly. I recommend it.

The stool itself is well made, except in my case unusable because one of the screws will not tighten as it is shorter and the nut is defective [machined at an angle]. These screws are what stabilizes the stool so once built with the defective screw assembly it will be unstable and unusable. I paid $70 for what I thought would be a quality piece of furniture but, alas, a single screw assembly prooved me wrong. Would be great if I could get a replacement screw and nut.

EDIT: after 17 months of use it has majorly cracked, squeaks, rocks and feels bad. My unopened boxes of soylent provide better cushion and function than this ------ Ordered this in July and it cracked 8 months later. Originally loved the design and the wood but it's always been slightly wobbly and too sharp around the edge for constant sitting like I need for work. It would swivel down when not sat on, and produce endless wood dust for the first few months. But it is fun to rest a leg on, and it has good height adjustments. and I wish the edge of the seat was smoother. For reference I am 110 lbs and It doesn't feel 100% supportive

I just received my stool and it’s a great addition to my art furniture; you may calculate in the pic how it looks next to the easel if you are an art enthusiast. I’m very happy with this stool; it has a solid construction and very fine details; excellent sturdiness and the wood had a well finishing. The one good thing this furniture has is you can adapt the high of the seat; I recommend it to any one looking for a good quality art stool. It worth the money!

I Love this stool so much I purchased two of them. Easy to assemble and sturdy. Love the adjustable height. Tucks out of the way when not in use. A little pricey for a stool, but my happiness is worth it. I say, “Buy, buy, buy”😊

Perfect for my easle

sera pratique avec le bon chevalet
