    Sewing Chairs?? Ideas

    I need a new chair. It needs to be height adjustable as I am short. Koala? Horn? Heavenly Chairs? I usually but mine from Staples but thought that I would shop and compare.

    hubby gifted me with a red one from Office depo. its adjustable and on rollers. I also have another office chair I use, and now I can't remember why I needed the second one. it is adjustable and on rollers.
    Talk about short? I am 5 ft no inches.

    I have the chair from Horn. Love it! I'm considering getting another chair to use when using my 2nd machine.

    I got one a few years ago and told my self I would not pay over 150 but I went shopping and "tried on" many many chairs. The one I got cost a little more than I had planned and was not anything like I had in my head. But I cannot stress enough how important it is to try them out the seat depth where the back support is cannot be judged any other way. I can sit for hours on end with NO back pain since I invested in a good chair.

    This is good advice... the chair needs to fit YOU!

    I just purchased a new office chair a few days ago at Office Depot. I too am only 5' tall so the ability to lower the seat far enough to allow me to plant my feet firmly on the floor was important. I went to the store and tried them all ... of about 20 chairs only 3 adjusted low enough for my height.

    The chair I chose is a WorkPro quantum 9000. It has mesh seat and back (which I wanted), adjustable height, adjustable arms (two ways, height and swivel in-out, they can also be removed), adjustable seat back height (for lumbar position), adjustable seat back tilt, and adjustable seat depth (closeness to seat back). The other nice thing is that when the seat back tilts, the seat does not - so even tilted all the way back my feet are still firmly planted on the floor. I really can't think of any further adjustments I would want to make to a chair than this one doesn't already have.

    Assembly was easy.

    Here you go ... found the link to the chair on Office Depot site.

    May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

    I have one of the bungie chairs from container store and I love it. Several of my friends got them also and are happy. Just something else to try, when I first saw these my BF and I just started laughing then the sales girl came over and convinced us to try them. We both got one
