I have always wondered when someone would come up with that idea of swivel seat for steel players,in fact I thought trying to build something like that at one time ,that's a great idea,hope you sell a million of em'.

now this is cool! i bought a seat last year from another manufacturer and expressed concern about the stock height being too low for me...and unfortunately it is. Thats not really a big deal because i understand everyone is built differently and for 95% of people it probably is.. What I don't like is getting blown off by the other manufacturer when I wanted to order legs that were one inch taller. A phone call yielded the ol' "send me an email". 2 emails later I still havent heard a response so that guarantees that he will never get a dime out of me.

I really like the way you think Joe, very cool ideas! I may have to put mine up in the classifieds and make an order!

[Joe Naylor]

Thanks John - I have several on order currently that are 2 to 3 inches taller than what is standard plus one or 2 shorter.

My idea on the height is - I make the legs and it does not matter to me if I through away 2" or 3" of scrap material.

After owning steelseats a few years I have found people want different options so I try to offer them if possible.

Adjustable height, adjustable back rest, SideKars, any color (some I do not want to look at but I only look at them for a few days and then ship them )--- now the swivel. I am making steelseats for a lot more than steel guitar players.


I have recently sent a seat to a guitar player that is the deep Original model with a SideKar - he puts his effects unit in it plus CD's so he has everthing on one place.

I also have made long legs which are bar stool height for bass players, guitar players and a stand up steel player or 2.

The swivel came out of conversations with keyboard players and people that play more than one instrument.

On the Original models also offer telescoping handles and wheels for rolling around rather than carrying it.

Thanks for the note - let me know what you want and I will try.

No heated seats (yet) or refrigerators (yet) -

SWIVEL SEATS! What a great idea Joe. Almost makes me want to un-retire so I can buy one.

I was one who once thought an upside down coke case on a folding chair was innovative.

[Joe Naylor]

Well Gene I actually attended engineering class at OU

Just kiddin from one Okie to another one.

Thanks for the note.

I had had someone ask me to make one a couple years ago and the problem was that most swivels are too light duty - I finally found on in late January and took this first one to the show in Dallas - that one actually is in Roy Rosetta's house now. Roy talked about wanting a swivel and he got the first one.

Several steel players liked them and ordered them in Dallas too. Some play a couple instruments and will be happy to not have to get up and move to another seat.

One guy had back surgery and said that once he sat on a steelseat he was fine (the firm cushion was what had helped him for the last couple years) he said that he actually sat behind his steel during break because getting simply hurt too much - he told me that this was the ticket.

thanks again for the note - just trying to build what people want

The last seat I bought was back in the 70's with the squeeze rod type legs. I always wondered why no one made one with the back rest, adjustable legs, and most importantly the swivel seat. I contemplated building my own, but settled for an old style office chair that does it all...personal opinion, I even like the mobility of the roller legs.

Now I feel justified in purchasing a new seat. Goes to show, if one waits long enough good things will happen. Good going.

[Joe Naylor]

Thanks Ray and all besides the forum notes I want to also thank all those that have emailed me as well.

Several on order and several inquiries.

This like most of the options are a result of people asking for different things. Some take longer than others simply because it is not always easy to find the right parts. This swivel was a 2 year project - simply could not find a heavy duty enough swivel.

Thanks again for the notes
