I just want to know what `microphone height' is.
It does look comfortable and I am guessing the crossbar on the front is a nice height for your feet ... in the end, if it results in a sale then maybe `guitar chair' is effective marketing.

Mandolin chair in the classifieds....

Ok, it's a stool but it's still pretty cool.

Now THAT's a mandolin chair!
Looks more like an end table to me. A flat surface like that tends to be uncomfortable for sitting after ten minutes, even less. And the price on that makes the guitar chair a bargain in comparison.
I assumed that what the term "guitar chair" signified was simply a chair with no armrests, thus accommodating the sitter to hold and play a guitar without that obstruction. Mandolinists can usually manage to play adequately, even comfortably, in such chairs. I've done so plenty of times. It meant having to sit up straight with my arms close in and the mandolin more vertical than customary, but still at around a 45° angle. So something like this - just a chair, really, nothing too special nor intrinsically guitar-oriented about it - may be being marketed toward that audience, with perhaps in the seller's mind a somewhat higher price tag. IMO, NBD - and NFI.

The guitar chair is a thing. I've seen them with classical players and other fingerstyle folks. That one is a decent price if the height works for you. (A lot of them are custom height for the player).
And Hank's pick-n-glider is a nice thing, too. Was really tempted on one when I was just a guitarist. Couldn't get myself to pay the Elderly price, though. A friend has one and it's really comfortable.
If that chair on Amazon were cheaper, might get it for my band mate. He needs a higher than normal chair because of serious back problems. That one would work.

I'm not sure what constitutes a mandolin chair but I bought an adjustable piano stool for practicing oud which works great and is much more comfortable for longer playing. Maybe with the smaller size of the mandolin this might be less of an issue, but I'm sure someone could design a chair/stool especially designed for playing any instrument.

I bought a folding chair with a 2" padded seat and a curved back. It was way too tall for me so I started cutting the legs 1" at a time until I got it where it was the right height. Now it is comfortable for me. As Red Green says" any tool can be the right tool".

Is a stool a chair?
Are they acoustic or electric?

Yes. A chair, generally, is something a person can and will sit upon. In other words, something someone can put his or her sit-upon upon. There are many variations, and one without a back or arms is often called a stool. I'd post a sample, but I think it's unnecessary.

I've had a "Sound Seat" for years. Adjustable backrest, height, swing-out foot rest, swivels, on castors. It's also my desk chair! Hundreds of avid users over on the AGF. The inventor has passed on, but his family still runs the business.

Highly recommended.
Ah, but you all missed the exquisite curved bars on the back of the chair. These have obviously been specially designed to improve the tone in the lower registers, and I imagine new versions will be brought out tuned to other instruments. Surely a market too for a matching wooden microphone stand made exactly to "microphone height"?

Exactly John, it’s the graduation of the seat thickness and tuning if the back splats which makes it “special”!

Pricey? Yes. Kinda like a Collings compared to an Eastman. Worth the money, IMO.
