DTRAB-1118 Drum Stool Pneumat : Good design and quality materials. Poor construction quality.

Good design and quality materials. Poor construction quality.

The first time that I sat on my stool five of the eight screws that fix the hardware to the bottom of the seat pad either came loose or just fell out completely. One of the screw heads had been striped making it difficult to put back. The four larger screws should attach to metal threaded t-nuts on the inside of the seat base but two of the t-nuts on mine were loose.

I left the screws in the t-nut and pulled them while screwing them in to get them tightened. If the t-nuts had got lost on the inside of the seat, which was a risk, then I might have had to resort to something like a piranha molly fixing. I also replaced two of the smaller screws with slightly longer thicker screws.

The result after repair is a really good seat for the price. The only remaining minor annoyance is that the base of the gas lift wobbles slightly in the centre of the clamp at the bottom of the legs but there's still a lot less wobble than with the seat I'm upgrading from.
