5 out of 5 starsBeautiful piece. Excellent workmanship . Not only are the height and slant perfect, but every detail is just right—from the smooth edges of every piece and the high-quality hardware, to the way the legs—when folded—fit perfectly beneath the seat, and the holes in the legs which not only provide an interesting appearance but also reduce the weight of carrying the bench from place to place (in a backpack, for example). The packaging job (for safe travel through the mail) was also exemplary—the bench was well padded and protected, and arrived with no dings whatsoever. Additionally Saigyo was very helpful and cooperative regarding my delivery date & address, which required some additional coordination. Highly recommend this seller and his products.

5 out of 5 starsI actually got the white oak folding bench and it is truly special. It was a pleasure to deal with Tom, select the particular piece wood used, and open the well-packaged parcel with the finished product inside. It's beautiful and a perfect, comfortable height for me. I'm so happy with it! May it improve the consistency of my practice! Thanks very much Tom!

5 out of 5 starsIncredible, monk-like craftsmanship. Beautiful piece of cherry, clean finish. Its simplicity and quality make this a really stunning piece. Height and angle are ideal (5'11" moderately flexible). Thank you, Tom! May you find enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.
