What is a saddle stool and is it a good alternative to an office chair?

Saddle stools at OfficeFurniture2go.com are specified as supplemental seating in active sitting environments, clinical settings (dental, lab, exam room), and for users whose occupational health assessment recommends position variability. They are not a primary chair replacement for 8-hour knowledge worker use — the absence of back support creates fatigue over extended periods. We specify saddle stools with height adjustability (22–33 inch range to accommodate standing desk alternation) and appropriate load ratings for the user. Call 1-800-460-0858 for active seating specifications.
