Soundseat Update
After a recent thread about challenges in communication with the Sound Seat folks I wanted to share the following. I had spoken to Lois in September and we put together a spec for a chair for me. I then didn't act on it until 9 days ago when I placed my order with Bretta. She said 3+ weeks if they had the seat color I wanted or 5-6 weeks if they had to order the seat. Well, I just got a FedEx notice that it will arrive Saturday! Great service!!

Now that our grand piano has sold and been moved, I need to order another Sound Seat. My living room will then include two Sound Seats and one Pik-n-Glider, plus a Rok-n-Sok bar stool - and some conventional dining table chairs. Of all those options, Sound Seat is my first choice, and a second one will leave us seating for several guitar players plus a few audience members (spouses) on the sofas.
That other thread was initiated by a person from overseas (France or Belgium?). As a very small family business building each seat to order, I can see how they are not giving international business a high priority. Shipping, communication, and payment "across the pond" can be a big challenge (I have the same issues with my small business). Further, I suspect that Sound Seat is selling every chair domestically that they can comfortably build. Sorry for that original poster. Bretta was a delight to deal with about 18 months ago, and I will be ordering again soon. I can only say really good things about the product and the company. Five stars! You do have to call and leave a message telling them that you are ready to buy, and they will get back to you in a few days to finalize the order details and walk you through the options. It seems atypical for them to pick up the phone the first time. |

After a year of enjoying mine, count me as another very satisfied customer. Bretta and Lois were great to work with. They seem to have mastered the under-promise and over-deliver approach when it comes to timing, since mine was delivered around a week and a half before their promised delivery date.
I use mine as a full time office chair, and remove the arms and jack up the height (might take 30 seconds in all) when I play. The foot ring is a really nice addition as well. Enjoy your new seat.
