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.

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.

Have had some issues with the seat being wobbly and it doesn't go as low as I would like, but for the price it is great and the backrest is good to have between songs

Good offer!
I bought this chair mostly because of backrest, and because of great price for chair like that.
I often been the case that hurts spine during playing, so I need a chair with a backrest.
The biggest problem with these chairs is that the seat is too hard. Quality is good, but there are few worse things made ??, which is not such a big problem. The chair would be solid only to improve the seat.

works
High seat. Not for player who like sit low. In my throne was little screw issue but i get fixed this after little modification. Throne upper connector might little more better finish to turn throne. I smoothen rough edges and put some oil and now it turns smoothly. Main screw lock is handy to fix seat hight. Backrest is also good for long playing :D
