Hey there Donn :) Seriously, I never thought of that. And there is some sense to your point when you first mention it. Tho I suppose one could overcome this problem easily enough by squaring the seat a bit and providing some kind of a locking mechanism to the swivel. I wonder how many students and teachers actually have that one worked out vs those who are just following the beaten path. In anycase... we arent buying any. I still like the idea of the Japanese adjustable chairs. We used them at the acadamy and they get beat to death before they start with any real squeaking and squaking. Tho I'd still like a picture of these <<stretcher>> benches. Thanks and Cheers RicB Don wrote: >Hi Rick, > >The reason for not wanting swivel stools is simple.
