It takes a mere matter of around one second to clip it and unclip it to a ring soldered to the back of the thumbrest, although you can leave it fitted for the time you're playing and gravity will naturally let it swing into position to rest it onto a chair seat. There are some models that have a memory setting so they will set themselves to a predetermined height.

I also use it for cor anglais because of the unnaturally awkward angle the right wrist is bent into because of the length of the instrument. Mine is the original Quodlibet FHRED version which I bought for an elderly clarinet player recovering from a fractured right shoulder as well as arthritis which she was very grateful for as she was about to pack up playing - she got around a further ten years of playing because of it.
