Works perfect ... plus I can adjust it higher to sit comfortably at my cutting table or ironing board, when I have a sit-down job and am working at them.
ME TOO!!!
I have short legs, though, so my DH built me a platform for under my sewing machine so my feet are in the right place in relation to the rest of me when sitting. I like the foot rest bar on my chair, too. The higher chair gives me a better view when sewing, because of course my shorter height also makes the table too high.
The drafting chair/platform pairing is perfect.
