Tough 1Spectator Seat Stick, Black

This 2 in 1 product was great for travel. It provided just support for walking on different terrains -- smooth streets, cobble stones, dirt , dirt roads, and rocky paths. The seat came in handy because sitting on the ground was a far way down from standing

I bought this for an upcoming vacation during which I anticipated activities that involved more walking and standing than I can normally tolerate. I tried a couple of these "seat-sticks" and this one is the only one that really worked for me. Although it is a tiny bit heavier and not-as-easily collapsible as others, it feels sturdier and is definitely more comfortable than other similar items. Whereas others have criticized this item for being "cheaply made" and other similar comments, I did not find that to be the case.I really liked two things about this item: 1) The fact that the seat area is like a saddle, made of leather and flexible. This made it way more comfortable to use than other similar items. 2) I also liked the fact that, when the seat is folded up, you can use it as a cane or sort of walking stick: The top becomes a sort of handle.I would definitely recommend this for anyone who (like me) has trouble walking long distances or standing for long periods of time.

Once you get it adjusted for height properly this is a sturdy reliable seat cane. Initially it shifted in place a little but lining up the screw better took care of that and its very solid. I got rubber post for end. Very happy with it. Useful.

There are grinder marks on the metal like it was left out in the rain and rusted and they had to clean it up with in the first 10 feet the top came off so I drilled it out and added a bolt to hole the top together and then the leather started failing within a week so I had to replace it just waiting for the next thing to go wrong. Great idea poorly executed but with some backyard engineering it fits its purpose.

Got this for use in guided tours where I might want to sit while the tour guide yammers. Also ordered PaceMaker Stix pair of extended life rubber tips - which fit perfectly over the spike so I can use it indoors as I need to.This has a lot of metal in it, but isn't well machined. Adjustable length with holes for the screw tightener, but couldn't figure out how to be sure you're at a hole. Maybe not a problem as the screw seems to be sufficient. Seat is too small, but adequate for what my needs are.Comes apart in two sections which fit easily in a standard size piece of luggage which is nice. Can't speak to the durability yet.

I attend horse shows, some of which take place all day across miles and miles of fields (Eventing). I needed something lightweight to carry, but also comfortable, to give my feet a rest. I purchased this item based on the reviews. Arrived quickly with Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping. The only recommendation I would make for this product is some sort of strap to carry it around your shoulder. I attached a clip on luggage strap, which did the trick. The seat is comfortable, I sat on it both sideways (like a regular seat), and length ways (sort of bicycle seat style), it was sturdy either way. I liked how the seat rotated, allowing me to spin around as I was seated to turn around to catch horses coming in the opposite direction, or to speak with someone behind me. Seat is sturdy, chrome/steel shaft collapsed easily when transporting it, held strongly when in use. Folded up easily, I used it as a walking stick while crossing the horse fields. Very pleased, may purchase one for my husband for our future outings hiking in the woods, or at horse shows.

IT MET MY NEEDS FOR A FIELD TRIP. OTHER USERS HAD WARNED THAT THE LENGTH SET SCREW MIGHT BACK OFF. BEFORE EACH USE I TIGHTENED THE SET SCREW AND IT DID TAKE UP ENOUGH THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK IT.

I have used and have worn out similar seats so please ignore reviews of instability and rubber tips. These seats are clearly one-legged and should be used in turf. The seats should be durable and function well. This model, unfortunately, does not open to exactly perpendicular. When open, the seat wobbles a few extra degrees so it flops to right or left and only sits straight when the user is careful. A better manufacturer is certainly out there and i will be searching for them. I would suggest saving your money for a better seat. It would be worth it.Note: I would have returned the seat but use it in time for the return window.
