Best Guitar Stools of 2025

“I found this footrest to be perfect. The metal build feels solid, and I appreciate the 6 adjustable height levels. The non-slip design keeps it secure during long sessions. Plus, it's lightweight and folds easily for storage—definitely worth the price!”

“After hearing great things, I decided to give this stool a try since I broke my left leg and ankle. After about 25-30 hours of use, I can say it works well, supporting my leg and guitar with no issues. The rubber feet are perfect for bare floors and it doesn't slip at all. While the construction seems a bit shoddy, it’s still pretty stable. I’d give it a 4/5 star review overall—it’s a great addition to my guitar gear.”

“I am new to guitar and was struggling to hold it steady. This foot stool has been a game changer! It’s very sturdy, folds up compactly, and is easy to adjust the height. I highly recommend it.”

"I purchased this stool because I needed something easy to transport for my upright bass rehearsals. After using it for a couple of weeks, I’m really happy with my choice. It folds and packs nicely, and the padding is decent, though a larger seat would be ideal. However, it supports my weight well, and to my surprise, it holds my offset bass without any issues. My only complaint is that the lower arms flop around a bit, but I found a simple workaround for that."

"As someone who's too heavy for typical guitar stools, I was a bit skeptical at first, but this stool has proven to be solid and sturdy. It’s comfortable enough for at least an hour, and I can easily carry it from my car to gigs. I’ve only used it with my acoustic guitars so far, but it seems like it would work just as well for my electric ones."

"As a music therapist, I was thrilled to discover this stool! It’s lightweight and collapsible, making it perfect for my needs. After receiving a slightly damaged chair initially, they quickly sent a replacement. The height is just right, and it’s super easy to carry around. I highly recommend it to fellow guitarists!"

"This Donner Guitar Foot Stool has been a game-changer for my practice sessions. The sturdy metal construction feels both durable and lightweight. I love the adjustable height settings, which help me find the perfect angle for comfortable playing."

"I use this footrest all the time and can adjust it to a comfortable height no matter the situation. It collapses down to take up very little space in my gear bag, making it an excellent product I would recommend for both professional and casual use."

"I wish I had discovered this little gem sooner! I used to make my own foot stool, but it would always slip around. This Donner product fits perfectly and stays solidly in place, providing a comfortable feel and great stability for my guitar."

"I've been using this foot rest, and it's perfect for my needs. The height adjustment aligns perfectly with my short stool, and the scissor mechanism makes it stable at lower settings. It's lightweight, folds up easily, and is made of substantial steel. For the price, I couldn't be happier!"

"I'm thrilled with this foot rest! It's incredibly sturdy and doesn't slide around while I play. The rubber surface provides great grip, and the wide range of height adjustments is a huge plus. It really helps with my posture, especially during classical pieces. I highly recommend it!"

"This foot rest is a game changer for me. It's comfortable and well-made, allowing me to keep my foot in the right position without straining. I can adjust it to my preferred height, and it folds up nicely for storage. I wish I had bought one sooner!"

"I really appreciate that the stool came already assembled. It feels very sturdy and is easy to use."

"One of my band members was struggling with a heavy kitchen stool. I needed something lighter and portable. This stool is easy to fold and has padded comfort. He was totally satisfied with it."

"I've found this stool to be just the right height for me. I play much better while sitting, but I do wish it felt a little sturdier overall."

"This stool is incredibly comfortable for playing guitar, especially during performances. It feels solid and durable, making it worth every penny. However, for extended practice sessions, I prefer the ROC-N-SOC drum throne since this stool can become tiring after about an hour."

"I was searching for a decent guitar practice stool and decided to give this one a shot after reading some positive reviews. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it's comfortable and the length is just right. Plus, it came fully assembled, which is a huge bonus!"

"Having owned this stool for a while now, I can confidently say it's one of the best purchases I've made. As someone who plays acoustic bass and is of a larger frame, I can sit on this stool for hours without discomfort. It's built to last and offers excellent value for the money."

"I really appreciate the portability and the guitar hanger. It’s great to sit up higher while playing."

"I purchased this chair primarily for comfort because my back tends to hurt after extended use. It definitely allows me to enjoy playing my guitar for longer periods."

"After using this for gigs, I can say it’s made a significant difference. I upgraded from a $12 Walmart stool, and this one's solid as a rock. The wider seat and backrest are so much more comfortable for my hour-long performances."

"I use this to raise my leg for balance while playing my Taylor acoustic guitar. It's much easier and sturdier than a guitar stool, plus it's a great price!"

"For an affordable footrest, I find it to be quite effective. At the maximum height, it can be a bit tippy if I press too high, but it's sturdy enough for normal use. It folds flat for easy storage and transport, making it a decent option for hobbyists. However, if I were a gigging musician, I'd consider investing in something better suited for frequent use."

"As a double bass player, I needed an elevated footrest for one foot. I usually carried yoga blocks, but this footrest is a promising alternative. It’s plenty strong and folds completely flat, saving space. While it is a bit heavier than foam blocks, it’s manageable. I’m still getting used to the slight wedge shape, but so far, I’m satisfied!"

"I found the individual pieces not looking particularly buff, but once I assembled it, it was rock solid and really attractive. The picture instructions were idiot-resistant, and I had it operational in about 30 minutes. My acoustic guitar fits well, and the footrest is a handy storage shelf, although it could be a bit wider."

"I really can't say anything bad about this stool. Compared to other options, it looks better, has top-notch quality, and a weight capacity of 400 lbs. It’s made of real wood, adjustable, and even has a holder for my guitar, all for $80. This is definitely a no-brainer!"

"This stool looks great and is well built for playing my guitar. However, I found it not very comfortable for long periods, so I had to return it. Overall, it was a lovely piece but just didn’t fit my needs for extended play."
