Antlu Saddle Rolling Chair with Back Support Review: Worth It in Australia?

This is Antlu’s backrest upgrade to their saddle rolling stool, priced at $381.94 with only 9 ratings and a 3.7★ average so far. It’s the most expensive rolling saddle stool in our comparison and the one with the thinnest review sample — here’s what that combination means for you.

Quick take: Aluminium frame, faux leather saddle seat, backrest positioned closer to the spine than Antlu’s older model, 350lb weight capacity, height adjustable 21.5–28.5in (55–72cm), smooth-rolling wheels. Only 9 global ratings (none from Australia) at 3.7★ — genuine praise for back support and wheel quality, but a repeated complaint about thin seat padding on longer sits.

Antlu Saddle Rolling Chair (Back Support): quick specs

Build quality

This is positioned as an upgrade over Antlu’s earlier backrest model (ASIN B08BFK45KX), with a repositioned backrest and what the brand describes as “one of the best wheels on the market” — and reviewers back that up specifically, with one noting the wheels rolled so smoothly the chair drifted away unnoticed after standing up. The aluminium castor frame is light but rated to 350lbs, a little lower than the no-backrest Antlu model’s 400lbs. Assembly is tool-free and takes about five minutes per the listing.

Comfort and posture support

This is where the reviews genuinely diverge. One buyer, a nail artist who sits all day, said her back stopped hurting after a couple of weeks of adjustment — a real, specific improvement. A second reviewer independently confirmed good back support. But the padding is the recurring complaint: one reviewer with an otherwise 5-star experience said the seat padding was too thin for comfort over hours of sitting, and another reported discomfort after less than 30 minutes despite finding the backrest itself “almost perfect.” If seat padding for long sessions is your priority, that’s a real trade-off to weigh against the backrest quality.

Who is this best for?

Hard to recommend broadly at this price and review count. It suits buyers specifically sold on Antlu’s repositioned backrest design who are willing to pay a premium and accept a thin, non-Australian review sample — and who can tolerate or plan to add extra padding for long sitting sessions. Most buyers will get better value and more proof from the VEVOR backrest model or REDCAMP below.

How does it compare to other backrest rolling stools?

Here’s how it stacks up against the other backrest rolling saddle stools in our comparison:

Which should you buy?

• VEVOR (Backrest)if you want the best-proven backrest option — far more reviews, higher rating, quarter of the price.
• REDCAMPa similarly-rated, cheaper alternative if VEVOR’s sold out.
• Antlu (this one)only if you specifically want this backrest design and are comfortable buying on 9 global reviews at a premium price.

Our verdict

The backrest redesign and wheel quality get genuine praise from the handful of people who’ve bought it, but 9 reviews at $381.94 is a thin foundation to recommend confidently, and the repeated padding complaint is worth taking seriously if you sit for long stretches. VEVOR’s backrest model delivers a very similar spec sheet with 16x the review volume at a quarter of the price — start there instead.
