I use one of those old kitchen step-stools that the seat flips up and you have a couple steps to reach the cabinet over the fridge. Sitting at the very edge of it puts me at just the right height to sew with no back or neck aches at all. My kid used it at mealtime post-highchair and pre-grownup chair...thirty some-odd years ago. Guess I just prefer harder surfaced seats than most. :oops:
