Flash Furniture Taylor Vibrant Orange Tractor Seat and Chrome Stool

Nice all around
Looks great. Seems that it’ll last a good long while. Super easy to assemble. I got it on a flash sale so the price was well worth it. Regarding comfort, compared to similar ones this is comfortable. It has a nice wide seat that conforms well to human curves. This is not comfortable compared to padded chairs but I like it more than padded stools that tend to collapse over time.We have ours on a covered porch, out of direct sunlight. I really believe I’ll have this stool for decades.

Wonderful for some tasks, good for most
Overall, this is a great chair for the price. The plastic seat is durable, the up/down works, and it’s visually pretty if, like me, you get a snazzy color like orange. Now to complain. Assembly is dead simple, but the four Allen screws work loose over time. Plan to keep that little wrench in a nearby drawer. Next: no brakes. I’m on a hardwood floor, so I bought a plastic office mat to slow things down after noticing this, but in short, this little seat really scoots around. That’s good if you want to throw yourself across a room while seated, but it’s annoying when you reach for anything on your desk and glide backwards a few inches. I sit with my foot under one of the wheels, which I bet I regret someday. Finally, the shape and contours of this seat are comfy at first, but they also “lock you in” and don’t allow for any real shifting of position, which can give you a sore spot here or there if you sit all day. I realize the holes are imitative design (vintage metal tractor seats) but the lack of any “contact” ventilation could result in… unwanted humidity (?) if you sit all day in a warm office. On your bum. I know, sorry. But a few other people I know with these have reported similar findings. If you don’t mind tightening screws once in a while, this is a five-star product if you have a frequent up-and-down sort of job and a surface such as very short carpet.

Amazing quality for the price
I was a little skeptical of this stool because of its low cost compared to similar products, but it is great! It doesn’t roll very smoothly when you’re sitting on it, but since I’m using it at a singular, stationary desk, I really didn’t want it to be rolling around. It is very sturdy and easy to put together, and I love the choice of colors (I got the orange one). I have a very small space and this is the exact right size, much better than a conventional desk chair, for 1/5 of the price. I couldn’t be happier.

Check colors before you decide
If price is important to you, CHECK PRICES BY COLORS!!! If you can live with orange or violet, it’s $27; other colors of this otherwise identical stool are (as I write this) $29, $38, $41, $42, $44, and $50. Between $50 for “orange red” and $27 for “orange,” I was very happy to select “orange” and save the $23! These prices may be different by the time you read this review, but there still may be very significant differences.As for the stool itself, I am over 250 lb and feel comfortable on this stool. (It would help if its seat were larger, but the real problem there is that MINE needs to be smaller, this stool has a generous and sturdy plastic seat.) It is great to be able to swivel and roll when working at my desk, and the small footprint of the stool in my very small desk area is a big improvement over the chair I used before.

Orange colour is bright and fantastic. Chair was very easy to assemble (even for someone like me who failed LEGO in JK!) Chair is quite sturdy (and supports 200+ lbs with no issue), and up and down peddle works well. We are very pleased with the quality and how quickly it was delivered.
