DEWALT DXSTAH025 Stool

This is a well built and sturdy piece of equipment, except for the casters. After having this for 1 year, one of the casters began to separate and lose ball bearings. I replaced the casters with heavy duty casters rated at 500+ lbs each and it now glides across the floor.

It was very easy to assemble, it’s sturdy, easy to move around, but there must not be any padding in the seat. IT’S SO UNCOMFORTABLE! I’m very disappointed! I got this for my husband for his shop because when he stands a long time, he has hip and back pain. This has not helped because he doesn’t use it much because of the comfort issue. I will be modifying it with a nice pillow, I think.

I was looking for a good stool for my workshop that had a large seat that would fit my double wide derriere and this one works well. It doesnt tip and wheels easily. My only complaint is that the the black plastic pieces that fit in the corners of the tool tray at the bottom were all chipped and broken in the box, but I suppose those are just decorative anyway. But still I would think for the money all the parts would be good.

I looked at a lot of shop stools online and kept coming back to this one. Even some comparably priced stools seemed to lack the sturdiness of construction. So I went all-in and bought this DeWalt, and Im glad I did. The stool is solid and steady, and even without the casters, I can move it around easily on the tight-weave indoor-outdoor carpet.

Its expensive, but I dont think Ill ever need to replace it. Its built like a tank and its comfortable!

This is a fantastic stool. I brought mine to work and sometimes I sit at a bench almost all day. My back used to hurt so much that I couldnt sit any longer. But this stool with the variable hight allows me to change my position and give my back a break. The padded seat is much more comfortable than the stool I was using. In addition the wheels and the spinning seat cut back on the stubborn movement of the old stationary stool. If youre thinking about getting a work stool, and you will have days when you sit for hours at a time, I would definitely reccomend this item. Comfortable seat, easy to move back and forth and side to side, and the spinning seat, which surprisingly is something that I would have a hard time living without now that Ive had one. No more standing up and then reaching down to scoot my stool a few feet to the left or right. Comfortable, ergonomically designed and definitely a time saver when you consider all the manual stool positioning and adjusting that I no longer have to do, and how uncomfortable it was to sit in one spot, unable to maneuver to get my work done. Its an A+ product, and those are few and far between.

Good product. I like it.

20220407: I love DeWalt stuff, and wanted to give this 5 stars, but the base is not wide enough. If the seat is raised up it is _very_ easy to tip over. The wheels are a bit stiff, so trying to slide around with a higher seat tends to make the seat tip over. Lowering the seat and using your legs more keeps it stable, but DeWalt could have done much better by simply making the base wider. The base is almost exactly the same width as the seat, so the entire unit is less stable, tall and skinny. Assembly was extra-easy. The units comes in three pieces: the seat, the neck, and the base. Put the neck into the base, place the seat on the neck, adjust the height once, and it is ready to go. DeWalt provides some flat feet if you want to remove the casters. I did not use them, but maybe there is some scenario where that would be useful. Construction: the base is steel with DeWalt-yellow baked on enamel. If I read correctly, DeWalt has an accessory system that probably allows some small items to be attached to the base. The U-channels have a pattern cut into the steel that seems to be for attaching something. Ive not looked into that too much, so cant say any more about that. The wheels are about medium size, and heavy, but they dont turn as easily as I would have liked (see my comment above on tipping too easily). The seat is solid and comfortable. Overall, it is a good solid work stool.
