    1. Malachi

      The design is excellent, but as a 5′-10″ tall male, I wish it was about 1.5/2″ taller. I simply added a cushion on top or underneath to make up the difference. Highly recommend.

    2. Ernesto Alonso Contreras Salazar

      Too short and therefore very uncomfortable especially for an elderly person.

    3. MIKEL

      This product is too short for me (male, 5″10′). It’s best suited for someone under 5″3′. Despite the height issue, it’s sturdy and comfortable, so I’ll use it for traveling. Books stack better than pillows on it. The photo shows the stool next to a standard size bench, reaching up to my ankle.

    4. Mitchell Pearson

      I inadvertently sat in the wrong spot, causing the seat to unexpectedly pop back into the folded position, hitting me in a sensitive area.

    5. Neil Evans

      This portable seat is small, strong, and light, making it perfect for traveling mediators who need to pack light. However, taller or larger individuals may find it too low to the ground when deployed. I’m 168cm and 73kg, and I think I’m at the upper limit for this seat. It would be great if they developed larger versions for bigger people. A bit more incline in the seat for better posture would have been nice, but overall, I find this product ingenious and satisfactory. It would be ideal for…

    6. Kacee

      I have been meditating for a long time and struggled to find the right support for my body to achieve a meditative state. I have tried various pillows, blocks, and seats, but this one is the best. It is well-made and offers excellent support that helps with body alignment. Despite usually not liking plastic products, this one is an exception. It is efficient, effective, and convenient as it can be easily carried anywhere due to its collapsible design.

    7. reader999

      The product has a brilliant design but is suitable for a child or a very small adult. If it were at least half again as tall and proportional, it would be the ideal travel meditation bench. However, it is not suitable for a normal-sized adult.

    8. Elijah Bickmore

      I use this product for meditation in seiza outside of my home, particularly for my Buddhist sangha’s meetings and book club. It is portable when folded down, yet sturdy enough to support my weight (about 220lbs) comfortably. While I wish it were slightly taller for added comfort (I’m 5’11”), it still greatly eases the strain on my knees during seiza.

    9. A Passing Lady

      I was initially impressed with this product as I could bear all my weight on it despite being overweight. Sitting on it like a bicycle seat is possible and it can correct posture if needed. It is most ideal on top of a zabuton on a tatami mat. It’s great for those who struggle with the seiza position, especially in formal situations. However, for practical purposes, other seating options may be more comfortable. Overall, it’s worth buying if you anticipate needing to sit formally, but make…

      As a long-term meditator, I’ve found that all beginner benches are uncomfortable until your mind settles. I bought this bench in early 2023 and had to add height using an old bath mat folded multiple times. Now, after gradually adjusting the height, I find it comfortable to use daily. I appreciate its design for direct contact with the sitz bones, though there is minimal padding. Initial knee pain was a challenge, but I’ve overcome it.

    11. Zachary Buser

      I’m thrilled with this purchase. I use it daily for meditation now. Seiza is the only posture that works for me, but the pain was unbearable until I found this seat. It transforms seiza into a comfortable and stable way to sit. I currently meditate for 15 minutes at a time, but I feel like I could sit on this for hours. It’s sturdy, portable, and highly recommended.

    12. MIKEL

      It collapses under my weight and is too low. 5’4” 180lbs.

    13. Spidermandy

      I am unable to squat low enough due to my knees, preventing me from sitting on this chair comfortably. This chair would have been ideal for me if I was shorter or had lost weight.
