Today I received my soundseat and will give my initial thoughts of the chair. The company was very helpful and easy to deal with and delivery was quick even though each chair is built per order. The packaging was fantastic with all components completely protected. Assembly was very quick, 10 minutes including unpackaging. Assembly instructions were very concise with good photos. I ordered the brown which is a dark chocolate color and is very attractive to my eye. I ordered the chair with a back rest, foot ring, and foot rest which are all adjustable. The seat is equipped with a gas adjustable cylinder also. I also went with castors on the chair feet. The chair is well built with quality components and will be used by someone long after I'm gone. I've only played for an hour with this chair at this point but at 68 years of age with a history of back issues, I can honestly say this chair is very, very comfortable for me. I believe my playing time will increase dramatically!
