I have an old oak office chair (probably from the '30s or '40s) with a curved back and arms, I have a cushion tied on the seat - BUT ... I don't sit for hours and hours, it makes my sciatica flare up something fierce. So my iron is in the next room, so I get up to press blocks as needed - and my cutting table is high enough so I have to stand up when cutting or trimming - anything to keep moving so I don't keel over with pain or wind up limping, bent over, from my girl cave up to the first floor of my house. I will admit that even though the chair is wood, it is more comfortable than any office chair I could buy today ... they really knew how to make comfortable chairs back in the day. I have its twin by my computer, and it is just as comfy. I found them both at tag sales, they are on casters, swivel and even have a little rocking motion going. Worth every penny I spent on them, I think I gave $5 each, max would have been $10
