I went to Staples and bought my first chair. It had arms on it and they always got in the way. So it is now at the computor. The chair I use for sewing has no arms and is ajustable to height. Also I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought bed risers for my cutting table .So that is the right height to cut so my back doesn't hurt. But I tried the chairs out before I bought them. Marge
