Oh how true ... I have always wondered who designed folding chairs, as I have yet to find any that are comfortable or at a right height ... for anything!!
A good chair is valuable as a sewist ... less strain on your back, plus the height adjustability is important according to the task.
I have a drafting chair, which at its lowest is about the highest a standard chair goes. The low setting is perfect when I am straight stitching, yet I like it a little higher when I get into quilting mode. Higher still, I can sit up to my cutting table if I want to sort patterns or design PP patterns, etc.
