ALFORDSON’s saddle-seat salon stool sits at $59.95 with the highest rating of any single-unit ALFORDSON salon stool we’ve checked — 4.4★ from 10 reviews, every single one from an Australian buyer. Amazon files it under “Barstools,” which is a category mismatch worth flagging upfront, but the product itself is a genuine saddle-seat salon stool. Here’s what the reviews actually say.
Quick take: Chrome-finished alloy steel five-caster base, 36cm saddle seat, gas-lift height 50–64.5cm, 150kg capacity, rounded footrest included, no backrest. Small review sample (10) but a clean, entirely local one — no cross-border noise to filter out. The one recurring caveat: at the very top of its height range, it’s just short for taller users.
ALFORDSON Saddle Salon Stool: quick specs
Build and posture
Azizeh Jaberi Ansari’s review is short but on-topic for what this stool is designed to do: “Keep my posture really good… Very good product and strong.” Caroline echoed the practical side, calling it “comfy and easy to roll around on,” with height adjustment that worked well across two different work benches, and noted delivery was quick. The one real limitation shows up in Callum Macdonald’s review — he’s disabled and uses the stool specifically to help him cook, rating it highly for value, but at 6’3″ he found the stool “extends to be only and littlest bit too short” at full height. That’s a useful data point: at 64.5cm maximum, this stool comfortably covers average and below-average heights, but very tall users should measure their workstation first.
Who reviews it, and why
What stands out about this listing compared to others in ALFORDSON’s range is that all 10 reviews are Australian — no cross-border noise to filter out, no guessing whether US or Canadian buyer experience translates locally. It’s a small sample, but a clean one. Between mobility use (Callum), general comfort and posture (Azizeh), and multi-bench work use (Caroline), the reviews span a reasonably wide set of real use cases for a 10-review sample.
Who is this best for?
Buyers who want a straightforward, no-backrest saddle stool with a fully local Australian review history rather than importing trust from overseas reviews. It suits nail techs, hairdressers, and anyone alternating between standing and sitting at a bench — just check your height needs first if you’re on the taller side.

How does it compare to other ALFORDSON salon stools?
Here’s how it stacks up against the other ALFORDSON salon stools in our comparison:
ALFORDSON Salon Stool Backrest/Footrest
$62.95 · Alloy Steel Frame · 28 reviews · 4.2★
A few dollars more for a backrest and a much larger review sample — the better pick for full workday use.
ALFORDSON Salon Spa Stool (Declan Black)
$55.95 · Alloy Steel Frame · 17 reviews · 4.3★, Amazon’s Choice
Slightly cheaper with a backrest included, but a narrower 33cm seat and a couple of firmness complaints.
Which should you buy?
- This stoolif you want the cleanest, fully-Australian review history and don’t need a backrest.
- Backrest/Footrestif you’re sitting for full shifts and want somewhere to lean back.
- Salon Spa Stoolif you want the absolute lowest price with a backrest and can live with a narrower seat.
Our verdict
With the highest rating of any single ALFORDSON salon stool and a review base that’s 100% Australian, this is a safe, well-priced pick for anyone who doesn’t need a backrest. The only real caveat — height range for very tall users — comes straight from a reviewer’s own feedback, not from us guessing. For most buyers under 6 feet, it’s an easy recommendation.
