Far from what it should be
I had no expectations of this being the sturdiest throne, because I know good ones (I own a Tama and a Gibraltar as well), and I also owned some very basic/flimsy ones too. I suspected some issues knowing the price. But it did not meet my already lowered expectations. The comfort is okay, no real complains there. The back support is a bit weak, I can alter the angle of it just with my arm (with some force, but still). Not sure how it would behave under my full weight pressed to it. Not sure I want to find out either.
And it is wobbly as hell! I constantly have to retighten the screws, and the legs have no option to tighten them on the lower side of the throne-base (where the legs horizontally connect to the shaft in the middle). When I sit on it, it is wobbly, not really stable at all.
I altered the throne quite a bit to have a somewhat usable throne. Drilled a route for a winged screw to tighten the legs at the bottom, which improved the stability. I just cannot - in good conscience - recommend this! Not without some minor upgrades. And what is frustrating that with 2 minor tweaks this can be a decent mid-tier drumthrone. Stronger support for the back and a screw to make the legs stiff(?). For the price and for a beginner, this is okay(ish). But would I recommend to someone who wants to use it on the long run? Absolutely not! If you have the know-how and the willingness to modify it to work as it should, than go for it. I admit, I had worse thrones in the past! But as I grow older, my tolerance for design flaws... well... you know what I mean.

You get what you pay for
The Millenium brand can be a hit or miss sometimes. Some of their products, I absolutely love, but unfortunately this was not one of them. The quality of the material seemed to be really good, but something in the design made it a wobbly a lot of the time. I ended up selling it within a few months and replacing it with a Gibraltar throne.

A cheap, no-frills drum throne that can handle the road
I bought this throne because I like bicycle seats and wanted a backrest without breaking the bank. At 60 Euros I suppose it's a bargain, but it's lacking in some ways.
All of the turning parts and screws became very threaded within about 5 weeks on the road. The wingbolt that fastens the seat to the stand is almost locked in place because of the threading problem. I also have to be careful how I set it up, because if it's facing noon it leans downward, and if it's facing 6 o'clock it angles upward. Not ideal.
The backrest is easily put on or removed depending on your preference. I found it to be quite comfortable for longer gigs, but it's really about the best thing I can say about this stand.
Pros:
- Cheapest way to get a bicycle-style throne with a backrest out there
- Overall robust feeling, spindle is solid
- Backrest optional
Cons:
- Bolts and other 'connecting' hardware wear down very quickly
- Noticeable "lean" or angling of the seat depending where it's facing
- Lowest height may be too high for some players.
Not bad for the price, but it leaves me wanting more.

it held me up
yes, it works. it held me up. however i honestly didn't like this stool. the molded seat was hard and a bit uncomfortable and the post that held the saddle itself wiggled in the base causing noise. i'll get something else next time. it's ok. it will work but it's not the best.

so ggod.
hahahaha, i took delivery of throne and immediately used it for my gig.
it's so strong and solid,
grips firmly whether on floor mats or bare floors.
height is easily adjustable and the saddle makes it more comfortable during playing time.
Apart from that the leather is strong and soft which makes sitting on it comfortable. the stands are wide enough and so you don't get toppled up when playing and allows you to get a greater range of motion whiles playing.
The front cutaway of the seat also allowed me to play completely unimpeded and with a full range of motion with their thighs. overall i am happy for buying this and will recommend it to others. Price is also cool.

Good value but not great
These stools are great value but for a long session are not comfortable .Spend a bit more for the sake of comfort. I replaced mine after a short while

Solid
This throne is solid. It has stood up to relentless gigging and practices, being thrown around, collapsed and set up, knocked over, had drinks poured on, pretty much everything has happened to this throne and it doesn't seem to want to give up and break. However the bach rest does feel flimsy, and more like one taken from an office chair rather than designed for a drum throne. Luckily it's detachable and other than this I would say this is well built.
Stemming from its well build frame is its stability and yes, this thing is as stable as it is solid. once set up and locked into place the throne doesn't rotate unless you want it to, nor does it rock. after about a year of constant use I did notice some wobble but it then disappeared one day.
My actual issue I had was this is that its like a rock, literally to sit on it feels extremely hard for something made of foam and as such is not the most comfortable throne to use.
Looking past this though for the price it's at, it's a wise choice I would recommend.
