As others have said ... test drive first is always best!
Some stores will let you return it if it doesn't work in the home setting. So it's good to check about first, as it may influence where you want to shop.
For me, I went for a drafting chair. It's lowest setting is about the highest setting of a standard steno/office chair. Gives me variation at the sewing machine, and if I want to sit up to my cutting table to work on a project, I can raise it right up. (I'd never cut from it, but I do use the cutting table for other projects.)
There are so many options with these chairs. Only you really know which ones are important for you, but adjustability is well worth the extra cost.
Good Luck!
