Lightweight, Stable and Smart

I really don't understand the negative reviews for this throne. I spent a lot of time searching for every piece of info available online for this throne and comparing it to other currently available lightweight thrones, and finally made a decision based on what I could find (which wasn't much). This throne allows the drummer to sit quite high, which could lead to some instability (however I haven't tested this personally), but when set around 59 cm of height (roughly the middle of its range), it provides plenty of stability for a 80 kg, 180 cm tall person. It is definitely possible that a lot of the reviews that claim a lack of stability could be coming from people that are either very tall, very heavy, or both. In my opinion, this throne might currently be the best gigging throne available, as it is lightweight, stable, very quick to setup / tear down, and impossible for it to slip down in height due to the drilled hole system for height adjustment.
