mojave Report post Posted October 15, 2014 Hi, My name is Howard and I'am trying to learn two things, #1 leather working and #2 my computer. So, To my question. I would like to get a comfortable chair for my workbench, which is 38" high. i have looked here and haven't been able to find a thread on setting. I am thinking about buying a solon chair because it has a good base and is adjustable. I would be interested in what other leatherworkers are using and why? Thanks Howard FA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted October 16, 2014 Best place to go is somewhere like Office Depot or Office Max, . . . try out every one they have. I have three chairs and two stools, . . . all of em sit above 24 inches. For your 38 inch top, . . . I'd just put one or two of them on a box on wheels, . . . 5 good swivel wheels at Harbor freight should set you back $35 or so, . . . and it should be plenty safe enough if your floor is fairly smooth. Just be careful of the mounting and dismounting. But then again, . . . I'm just a cheap old coot, . . . been making do for so long with home made contraptions, . . . don't know how to do it any other way. May God bless, Dwight.

WyomingSlick Report post Posted October 16, 2014 If you live anywhere near to a large urban area, I suggest you check out a used office equipment store for a quality built office chair. They often will have vey high quality chairs that are not only built to be comfortable for extended sitting, but are fully adjustable, and are built to last unlike most of the cheapo imports you see at conventional stores like those mentioned. You may be able to pick up a 3-400 dollar chair for under a hundred bucks just because it has some cosmetic damage that made it unsuitable for some fancy-pants lawyer or executive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
