By Nick Miles · Updated 2026-08-16 · 4 expert sources

Pros
- +Divided saddle geometry — Salli describes a single polyurethane seat with a groove down the middle
- +Four gas-spring lengths span 400 mm to 875 mm, covering normal desks through standing-desk height
- +Salli's own site publishes a 5-year warranty on the chair
- +Weighs roughly 6 kg, so it moves easily between a desk and a workbench
- +Eight caster types and wool seat covers offered, including ESD and antimicrobial options
Cons
- −Rated to 100 kg (about 220 lb), the lowest capacity among these saddle stools
- −The Basic is the fixed model: no tilt and no swing mechanism at this price
- −Standard seat is bare black polyurethane; fabric covers cost extra
- −Salli's Australian distributor lists a 2-year term against Salli's own 5-year warranty
