My craft area is counter height and I bought a drafting chair from overstock.com. I could not find anything high enough until I looked for a drafting chair and it works. It has several height, seat tilt and back tilt with no arms. Works great!

armless, smaller-sized, padded office chair with wheels on a heavy plastic office floor mat (don't know what those are called - maybe they're just called, 'heavy plastic office floor mats'). lol...

That's what I have too!

I have a friend who bought a bungie chair. Hers is armless but they are available with arms. Am on the look out for one because it really was comfortable.

I have both office chairs, one with arms the other without. Mostly I use the armless one for free motion stitching and if I am getting up and down a lot. Also changing the hight can relieve backache

I use a secretary's chair with no arms, an adjustable back cushion and adjustable height. My sewing table is 30" high.

High back office chair on wheels, with lumbar support. I took the arms off - cramped my style.

I have a desk chair on wheels - no arms. Works great for me.

I took the arms off a computer chair. I have long legs, and its easier for me to roll back and swivel around to get out of the chair. Also easier on my bad back. Uncle Arther came to live in my back.lol An old saying my Granny used to say.
