Very good for the price. Very strong .The seat is firm, but gives exactly the right amount of softness to be comfortable and make you feel in control. One of the best 35cm round drumthrones out there. The reason I only give it 4 stars is because the C clamps are not massive and so, the seat will swivel a little bit. It has not been a problem untill now, but its stupid not to make the C clamps massive
