i have inexpensive office chairs. it doesn't bother me because i get up to take frequent breaks, which is recommended by all the 'experts'. good luck in finding something that helps your situation.

Looks like a secretary chair to me. Office Depot has them around here. No way would I spend that kind of money without trying it out. I get up and down all the time. I do stretches and bends to loosen up after I sit on a stool. When I quilt at a short table I use a folding chair with a cushion. I have bought three office chairs and found none of them were comfortable.

Well, maybe it's worth taking a ride. Can your back handle it? I imagine if it is custom made to your specifications, it may be difficult to return if you don't like it.

I also like my office chair from Staples, which looks like the one pictured, for under $100.00.

That is outrageous for an office chair that you can sit in first. I found my chair at a used office furniture store. I was able to sit in at least 100 office chairs to try them out and was able to select the one I liked best for $35. Another one I liked was only $5, so I bought it too.

Try to find some place that has a lot of chairs for you to try out. I don't think one should have to spend that much on a chair like that.

I really like my office chair I got at Office Depot. It has lumbar support.
Like others have said, go to the store and try one. I would not recommend
anything with armrest. Taking frequent breaks when sewing also help.

Holey moley is all I can say. That looks like every other secretary's chair I have every seen. I have back issues also and cannot see where that would give me the lumbar support and upper spine and neck support I need now. After you go try it, could you report back to us on how it is?

Had to get a "special" chair at work which was $150.00. Love my work chair. It is a Staples standard office executive chair.

I purchased a Horn Sewing chair about 2years ago. I am plus sized and I could tell the cheaper office chairs would not last or give me the support I need over time. I spent about $300 and feel like it was money well spent. The chair is very comfortable.

I took a class earlier this year at my LQS and she had several sizes of the heavenly chair. I really liked the one I used and wished I had known about them before I got my chair. Oh well......

maybe you can find a dealer to go look at them. Good luck!

It doesn't look anything more than a glorified task chair you can pick up at Office Depot and just put cushions on it. Whatever they ask for it plus shipping and you can probably get what you need near a store near you.

This is exactly what I was going to say. Have you considered a saddle chair? I have 2 sewing friends who own this style and they swear by it.
