Build quality is good, it has a memory lock, which is really cool thing to have... It works good... Biggest issue is the the wing screw for attaching the seat, it uses two screws. So, I like to keep them lose, so you can move around, but after while they get too loose and the stool gets wobbly.. If you screw them tight, there is no problem there. Overall a good stable drum throne, there are better options there, but they cost more.
