I have one of those Doctor stools like they sit on and roll around. It has four legs and adjustable height. It is comfortable and very sturdy. Sometimes I roll around the house on it You might check a used office supply store and see if they would have one. I don't remember just how much I paid, but $20 or less The rollers are really stout on this one and rolls so smoothly.

'Scuse me if this seems, um, indelicate, but won't your, um, you know, hurt after sitting on this for a couple of hours? Even bikers don't "sit" on their seats for long, they kind of stand on the pedals, hunkered over.

I can just feel my tail getting busted. 3 legs won't work. You fall over every time. Some office chairs with 4 wheeels will fall like that too. See if you can find a mechanics stool. They have more legs. I have seen them at Sam's Club.

Any chair that has less than 5 wheels, can be dangerous. Ask me how I know. I now have a steel rod in my leg because a chair with 4 wheels fell over and broke both leg bones.

wish you were in TN. I just threw away 5 or 6 roller chairs away. Some were high back desk chairs, and regular desk chairs. Wheels were good on all, but had upgraded. Why is it no one wants the extras til you get rid of them... someone else said they would have taken a couple of them.

Instead of Home Depot, try looking up your local Restore shop. It is run by Habitat for Humanity, where they sell donations that can't be used in construction. It is the fund raiser for the program. I bought a screen door for my home there and it only cost me $10. We have 3 near me, and they have every style of wheel you could want. Even if you figure in the gas, you will still get an extreme bargain. Good luck.
