YEEZEE Saddle Stool Review: Worth It in Australia?

YEEZEE’s heavy duty saddle stool sits near the top of the no-backrest budget bracket at $159.07, with the second-largest review sample in this comparison — 116 ratings at 4.3★. Here’s the catch worth knowing upfront: its height range is noticeably shorter than every other stool here.

Quick take: Alloy steel base with a gold-plated finish, height adjustable 16.5″-21.5″ via a 4-level SGS/BIFMA-certified hydraulic lift, 2.5″ memory foam cushion with a 16″ wide seat, dual steel ball-bearing wheels for quiet rolling, no backrest, 400 lb capacity. Reviews are largely positive, with one recurring complaint about the wheels struggling on textured wood flooring.

YEEZEE Saddle Stool: quick specs

Build quality

The base uses a gold-plated alloy steel construction with dual steel ball-bearing wheels rather than the simpler casters found on cheaper stools — Shea Giardini singled out the wheels as her “absolute favorite part,” saying they roll so smoothly compared to previous stools she’d owned. Daniia, a massage therapist, called it “sturdy, well-balanced, and very well made.” The one recurring build issue: TJ (3★) found the wheels too small for textured wood flooring, getting stuck in the grain grooves and squeaking on movement, and ended up replacing them with larger-diameter wheels — after which they said it would’ve been a 5-star product.

Comfort and posture support

The shorter height range is the headline trade-off here, but for the height it does cover, comfort feedback is strong. Shea Giardini, who works in the beauty industry, said it made a “huge difference” in her posture and comfort, reducing lower-back tension by the end of long days. Daniia praised how easily she could raise or lower it to the ideal massage-therapist working height. Abby (4★) is still adjusting to the saddle position after a short time but likes the wheels and seat — though she flagged one unresolved issue: the stool sank down by itself once while she was sitting on it, and she’s watching to see if it recurs.

Who is this best for?

This is a strong pick specifically for lower desks, massage tables, or beauty/salon workstations where the 16.5″-21.5″ range is actually appropriate — Daniia and Shea Giardini’s professional use cases are a good match for that height band. It’s the wrong choice if you have a standard or standing desk, since even at full extension it tops out well below FRNIAMC’s 29.5″ or VEVOR’s 28″. Worth pairing with hard, smooth flooring rather than textured timber, given TJ’s wheel experience.

How does it compare to other no-backrest saddle stools?

Here’s how it stacks up against the other steel-frame, no-backrest saddle stools in our comparison:

Which should you buy?

• YEEZEEonly if your desk or table sits low — its 16.5″-21.5″ range is a hard limit.
• FRNIAMCsame price, far more reviews, and a much taller range — the better default choice.
• VEVORcheaper with a taller range if budget matters most.
• Towninglightweight and quiet, but the thinnest review base of the four.

Our verdict

YEEZEE’s saddle stool is a genuinely well-built option let down by one specific limitation: its height range simply won’t reach standard desk height for a lot of buyers, let alone a standing desk. Where it fits — massage tables, salon stations, lower work surfaces — the ball-bearing wheels and certified hydraulic lift are real upgrades over cheaper stools. But at nearly the same price as FRNIAMC, which offers a much taller range and a five-times-larger review base, most desk-bound buyers will be better served elsewhere. Measure your desk height before buying this one.
