gemini generated image sbvvcvsbvvcvsbvv

This is VEVOR’s backrest upgrade to the saddle rolling stool already covered in our top pick review — $100.90, with 147 reviews and a 4.3★ average. Here’s whether the extra $21 for a backrest is worth it.

Quick take: Iron frame, PU leather saddle seat, backrest added, SGS-certified hydraulic gas lift, 5x 360° PU casters, height adjustable 55–71cm, 450lb weight capacity. 147 reviews at 4.3★ — slightly lower than the no-backrest model’s 4.6★, but includes at least one genuine Australian review, unlike several other backrest options in this category.

Build quality

This carries over the same iron-reinforced base, SGS-certified hydraulic lift, and 450lb weight capacity as VEVOR’s no-backrest model, just with the backrest added and the frame material listed as iron rather than metal (VEVOR’s spec sheets vary slightly between the two listings). One reviewer in France noted their unit arrived with visible scratches on the wheel support and worn lettering on the height-adjustment handle, saying it didn’t feel genuinely new — worth inspecting on arrival, though most other reviewers across multiple countries describe it as sturdy and easy to assemble.

Comfort and posture support

Reviewers consistently describe it as comfortable for work use, with a Spanish reviewer specifically noting it’s great to work on for extended periods, and a Belgian reviewer calling it very comfortable with good value for money. An Australian reviewer — one of the few AU-specific data points in this entire Rolling Stools category — rated it a straightforward 5 stars simply as “a good rolling stool.” The backrest gives you somewhere to lean periodically that the no-backrest model doesn’t offer, at the cost of a taller, bulkier footprint (100cm height vs. 71cm).

✅ Pros
  • Backrest option most other budget rolling stools don’t offer
  • 450lb weight capacity carried over from the no-backrest model
  • Includes at least one genuine Australian review — rarer than it should be in this category
  • 147 reviews is a solid, trustworthy sample
❌ Cons
  • Rates slightly lower than VEVOR’s no-backrest model (4.3★ vs 4.6★)
  • $21 more than the no-backrest version
  • One reviewer received a unit with cosmetic wear suggesting it wasn’t genuinely new
  • Taller, bulkier footprint than the no-backrest model

Who is this best for?

This suits buyers who specifically want occasional back support and are willing to pay $21 more and accept a slightly lower (though still solid) rating than VEVOR’s no-backrest model. If you don’t need a backrest, the standard VEVOR remains the better-reviewed, cheaper pick.

VEVOR Saddle Rolling Stool (No Backrest)

$79.99 · Metal Frame · 143 reviews · 4.6★

Same brand, cheaper, and the highest-rated rolling stool in the whole category — the default pick if you don’t need a backrest.

REDCAMP Rolling Saddle Stool (with Backrest)

$109.99 · Steel Frame · 49 reviews · 3.6★

Costs more, rates nearly a full star lower, and has a recurring backrest assembly complaint.

KKTONER Rolling Saddle Stool

$68.99 · Steel Frame · 3,812 reviews · 4.4★

No backrest, but far cheaper with the largest review base in the category, if backrest isn’t a must-have.

Which should you buy?

  • VEVOR (Backrest, this one)if you specifically want back support — the best-reviewed backrest option here.
  • VEVOR (No Backrest)if you don’t need back support — cheaper and higher-rated.
  • KKTONERif price matters more than the backrest.

Our verdict

VEVOR’s backrest model is the clear pick if you specifically want back support in this category — a solid 147-review sample, a 4.3★ average, and rare confirmed Australian feedback. It rates slightly below its own no-backrest sibling, so only pay the $21 premium if the backrest itself is something you’ll actually use.
