i am 5’2” and have that chair. It fits me perfectly too and it the most comfortable sewing chair I’ve used and I’ve cycled through a lot of different ones. I have it set at a good height in relation to the machine.

I love my saddle stool! It's got no arms or back, but you don't need them when sewing or quilting, as you are reaching forward. The seat design keeps you sitting upright without even thinking about it. I never think about my back when working... it never hurts. But if I sit more than an hour or two, sometimes my butt needs a break. It's a great design for working at my sit down longarm.

I have a great chair but my cat, Mookie, is always going for it the second I get up! :D

I also have the adjustable steno chair (without arms). It's worked well for me for almost 20 years now. I've found that the most important thing for me as far as neck/back/shoulder pain is to not work too long without a break. I put my ironing board on the other side of the room so that I have to get up and walk over to press. Its also good for my ankle to keep moving around. The last thing my physical therapist told me was to keep active and I'd be fine. A year after my surgery, it looks like he's right on many levels.

I bought an office chair from a thrift store and use it daily while I sew. I wanted a chair that was adjustable and no arms and had a hard time finding one in the office supply stores. It is adjustable and small but it fits my needs and I only paid $5.00 for it. What a deal!!

My sewing chair is simply the stool that matches the No.40 Cabinet i use on a (almost) daily basis :eek: Just feels right to use it and not too bad comfort wise on this auld set of bones :thumbup:
