KOA 510

So.. first and foremost. I am a dental hygienist of nearly 5 years, and I have to say that I am upset I didn’t get this chair sooner! I have had lower & middle back pain, and hip pain for 3 of the 5 years of practicing dental hygiene, and this chair in a matter of two weeks has changed my pain from daily aches/tightness, to none at all. I was skeptical about buying a saddle chair from Amazon since I was told by other fellow RDHs that they didn’t work for them. I decided to give this a try since it was a design I favored (having the back rest) and seeing it changes height. I am 5’9 and I am able to sit high for proper ergonomic positioning, plus having the option to lower it for lower set patient positions. I found this chair is COMFORTABLE and solid quality! It is very easy to assemble (took me 3 steps) and it was ready for use (no tools needed). It rolls very smoothly & quietly. I bought the chair April 7th I believe, and I have been able to confidently say I feel better about my spine and back issues due to the nature of our job. I only experience some aches in the lower back because of how straight I’m keeping my back! Your body will get used to the chair, trust me. The foam seat is very comfortable, yet firm. Doesn’t feel like a hard, plastic chair seat or feels too soft where it will deflate after 10 sitting uses. 3 hygienists and 2 doctors I work with sat in it for not even 3 seconds and all immediately said “where did you get this, send me the link”. I don’t normally do reviews and talk it up this highly, but this one I had to share to the world so other people like me have an honest product to invest in. I may purchase another chair as a backup in case the cloth/leather material begins to deteriorate from wiping it with Cavi wipes (not sure about returns or anything, but I’d rather have another if I’m doing this for 25+ more years while they’re in business!). For it being under $200 while other “saddle chairs” run $300+, this is a great alternative. The chair itself in circumference is short-tall and narrow, so it does navigate well in semi-narrow quarters (for instance: I don’t have room behind me when a patient is fully supine- but in this chair, I am not backed to the wall like I used to be in the regular dental operator chair!). The back rest does bend very far back, and a good amount forward to keep your back straight, this is great for having an actual back rest with actual support. One downfall- the saddle chair itself does not pivot forward or back like some out there do. But, it does keep you feeling like you won’t slide forward and off of the chair. The horn on the chair doesn’t pinch or ride your crotch. Only body ache I am now used to is the inner thigh/leg position it keeps you sitting in for hours for the day, but that goes away (feels like you’re stretching like a sumo wrestler a little). Dental professionals, at-home desk workers, or someone who needs a better chair for posture health, this is a great buy. 5 Stars!

Love this chair!! I got it in the shade Vanilla. As an esthetician, I was previously using a saddle stool that just wasn’t very supportive or great quality, so I decided it was time to invest in something better. This stool is truly worth every penny I can’t even explain how comfortable and supportive it is! I’ve already noticed a huge difference in my lower back pain and even better sleep overall. The wheels are amazing too super quiet and smooth. It also goes up to a great height, so if you’re tall, this would be perfect. I’m only 5’1, so when it’s at full height I’m on my tiptoes trying to roll around 😅 If you’re thinking about getting it you won’t regret it!

I love this chair it is exactly as pictured. I use it for tattooing and I find that I do have to switch to my normal stool on occasion as this chair doesn't go as low and I'd prefer but I still love it otherwise. I love that the back is adjustable to either move with you or lock it in place and the wheels on this chair are so beyond amazing everyone who sits in it talks about the wheels haha. The cushioning is a little firm and definitely took me a little bit to get used to it but now that I am its as comfortable as ever. I also sit on it 'backwards' and its just as comfortable if not more comfortable sometimes!

I spent a lot of time figuring out what chair to get for myself at home. My requirements were that it be small, mobile, and provide support to my back. I'm also a petite (short) person, so often have a hard time with chairs being comfortable. I wanted to be able to use it at my computer desk, my studio table (for watercolor painting), or at a taller height so I can use my standing easel (it's s full-sized French easel that I use for watercolor painting). I also have issues with back pain, so getting the right fit to to support my spine and hips was important. I also know from my medical school education and training that our lumbar spine and sacrum are most stressed when you have to sit on regular chairs (because of the 90 degree angle between your legs and back). This led to me discover saddle stools, which open up the angle between legs and back considerably; this helps to better distribute your body weight and places less pressure on your spine. I compared saddle style across dozens of different brands, but this one in particular had a seat that best matched my anatomy. Because I'm petite, I knew I wanted to avoid a seat that was very wide or very deep. The seat on this stool was narrower than any others I found, so I took a chance and ordered this one. It fits perfectly and I love it! It's very comfortable and if the seat had been any wider that would not be true. My only regret is that this chair doesn't come with a ringed footrest. When I'm working at my easel, I have to go full height with this stool. It's the perfect height, but because I'm short, my feet can't rest flat on the ground. After painting for 4 hours yesterday, my inferior pubic rami (aka butt bones) ached something fierce. I contacted the seller about this and although they don't make the footrests, they went out of their way to find one for me that works with their chair that I can purchase and add to the chair. Awesome! Chair is packaged well and is high quality in person. The moment I first sat on it, I felt immediate relief in my back and felt fully supported. It works at my computer desk, my art table, and with my full-sized French easel. I'll update this if things change, but I'm very happy with this purchase! It's now Feb 2024. I still love this chair and use it daily! No problems at all and it still looks as good as the day I bought it.

Not a bad chair for dental professional. Fabric could be better and is obviously it is not a leather seat. Will it hold up to cleaning is the question. It glides smoothly on the floor with the roller blade type wheels and the pneumatic features seem to be pretty decent. If you're a RDH, this is a decent compromise to the dental company chairs.
