SwampNut Posted Saturday at 04:40 PM Posted Saturday at 04:40 PM I'm spending a lot of time at my bench, for various reasons. This general purpose stool is killing my back. I'm going to start googling now, but if anyone has specific recommendations, please tell me. Basically near office chair suitable for an hour here, either using a computer or fixing/building things that take a long time. So it can't be bar height, nor normal seat height. This stool is the right height but needs a larger seat and back support. Edit: Oh, and no, not that fucking Vyper at $500. Yah nah, if it's expensive I'll just weld up an office chair instead or something. Quote
SwampNut Posted Saturday at 04:56 PM Author Posted Saturday at 04:56 PM Amazon search: Ergonomic shop chair Lightning deal 43% off, delivers in a few hours, and I had six minutes to get the deal, soooooo.... But it's Amazon so I can still decide on something different, and still listening. But this might be the thing, I'll take the arms off. Quote

Would love that it’s lowest it will “tuck in” under my bench with the arms under the bench? Quote
DaveK Posted Saturday at 05:08 PM Posted Saturday at 05:08 PM I see the arms fold up so now to find out how low the seat bottom measures when in the lowest position. Quote
SwampNut Posted Saturday at 05:49 PM Author Posted Saturday at 05:49 PM Yeah I didn't even look at measurements, I can cut shit if needed. I'll measure it when It arrives. Quote

SwampNut Posted Saturday at 05:52 PM Author Posted Saturday at 05:52 PM Oh, it's there, and is perfect. My current one tops out at 24 seated and that is perfect. It MAY be useful to be at 26 sometimes. This gives me both. It's going to be annoying to store when I only need the small one. Quote
DaveK Posted Saturday at 05:55 PM Posted Saturday at 05:55 PM So the ass part at its lowest is 24”? Quote
SwampNut Posted Saturday at 06:00 PM Author Posted Saturday at 06:00 PM Looks like 20.5. My existing one is 24 at its highest. Quote
DaveK Posted Sunday at 02:12 PM Posted Sunday at 02:12 PM Quick review on the chair before I hit buy? Quote
SwampNut Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM Author Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM Probably do it. It's a good chair for a couple hours. I removed the arms, that's not good in a shop. I'm also going to shim the back to push forward more. You can use washers. I'll design and 3D print some wedges at a precise angle because it's legally required that if you own a 3D printer you do two hours of work to print something five times to get it right, instead of using an existing 5 cent item and two minutes.

SwampNut Posted Sunday at 04:43 PM Author Posted Sunday at 04:43 PM It can go pretty low and pretty high. It may become my primary stool. I also got a mat since it won't roll on the foam tiles. Quote
