I got a new chair from Amazon
 
A while back I was looking for ideas for a sewing chair. I wasn't thrilled with my previous office chairs (for sewing) but nothing else is sold around here and I wanted to test whatever chair I got, so I got one anyway and it was okay, but not great. I spent more $$ to get giant wheels for it because it wouldn't get quite tall enough (none of the ones I tested would) and I'm pretty short. So anyway one of my kids needed a new computer chair so I decided it was time to get something better. Based on reviews I ordered this chair. I prefer to test them but our Staples closed so there is no one around here that sells any type of office chair in the store. Anyway so far I really like it! It has a greater range of height adjustments so I can even sit at my cutting table with it. At first, it felt weird because it's not shaped like the seat of an office chair, but after using it for a few hours it's very comfortable. I am going to cover the seat and back with cuter fabric (slipcovers). It is called the Caressoft Medical Stool w/Back.

Thank you for this review!!! Just changed my sewing table and it is taller!! And my office chair will not go up any higher, so all the sewing I did this week was painful after just a short time!!! To get the right height on my old table I just shortened the legs but that is not an option on my new one....so thank you again!!!
One question.....do your feet touch the floor when it is raised up???

No, they don't. I have a couple of pieces of wood to elevate my foot pedal and I rested my other foot on one of those bars (that the wheels are on).

Every office chair I've ever owned had a plastic bottom thing where the wheels are. This is the first time I've had a chair with a metal one.

Had to go to website to see as your attachment was removed......I found one very similar from an Office Depot several yrs ago, but it was called a drafting chair...now it also has a new name....quilters chair!

That's awesome! I just added it to my Amazon wishlist!

What I look for is excellent back support. High price doesn't automatically equal comfort.
