I like to sit up higher than most chairs, so I confiscated my DH adjustable chair he used for reloading. It's just perfect and I can raise the seat up high enough if I want to use it at my cutting table. I also have a stool that drummers use. I use this at my embroidery machine as I don't sit there very long at a time. Both chairs are easy to get out of and both are very comfortable. BTW, I can get a back for my stool but just haven't seen the need for it yet.
