The Type S Shop Stool with Backrest is a versatile, adjustable-height seat tailored for garages, workshops, and similar spaces. Mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and shop owners appreciate its practical design for tasks at workbenches or counters, offering a stable perch higher than standard stools.
Standout features include 360-degree swivel for easy movement, a square footrest accessible from any angle, and smooth height adjustment from 22 to 28 inches. Users report effortless rotation between tools or machines, with the padded faux leather seat and low-back lumbar support providing relief during long sessions. Reviews highlight its comfort in sewing rooms, garages, and even adapted shower use post-surgery.
Build quality shines with a heavy-duty tubular steel frame supporting up to 250 pounds, non-slip caps to protect floors, and simple assembly in under 10 minutes. The black finish and L-shaped design add a professional look suitable for industrial or home settings.
Drawbacks include the gas lift occasionally failing after months and the lowest height proving high for petite users. One buyer noted a misdrilled hole requiring a replacement screw.
Overall, this stool delivers reliable performance for taller users needing durability and mobility, making it a solid choice for workshop productivity despite minor longevity concerns.
