    We've got a staples chair for way too much and one from a charity shop that looks similar for £5 !

    Les, your chair in mesh sounds wonderful and I bet its really comfortable too.

    Oh yes and they are armless too.

    I have a terrible short stool. with the legs cut off because my bench is far too low. It is a really bad arrangement and is on the 'to do' list for next year. Ssssue, your stool sounds interesting. gotta link?

    Medusa, can't remember where I got it but if you search for 'saddle stool' online you should find them. Mine has gas lift adjustment and castors. Cost me around £40 I think. I'm away at the moment and only have my iPhone so I'm limited in what I can post - internet connection is very iffy here. I tried to attach a picture to my original comment but the forum wouldn't let me as I'm very new and haven't posted enough. Will get around to introducing myself properly when I have better access.

    No, the arm rests don't get in my way, but I do have it high up. Those 'back saving' stools are awesome, but way too low for anything in my studio.

    I like the kneeling posture stools as I have a habit of slumping when I'm working on very detailed things. I use one at my drawing board, and am trying to see if I can get a table the right height so I can use it for chasing and repousse too. My biggest bugbear is I'm quite small so find most desks too high for me in relation to chairs for good posture. With an adjustable office chair sometimes my feet are off the ground so I can get it to the right height, smallness is an advantage for the right sawing height though!

    I use a kneeling stool for computer work, but there's a real issue using them for jewellery work - foot pedals... Chasing & repousse might work.
    Most of the time I use an office chair, but the castors can mean the chair shifts if I'm doing anything that requires some force.

    Haha! I've zoomed myself backwards stone setting on more than one occasion!

    I also have an office chair, but am a short arse and sometimes it doesn't seem high enough for my bench, so I might try one of those height adjustable breakfast bar stools next.

    Took me a while to find the correct link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Casino...item53f7c2efda I have the white one - I'm swapping it for black after I move as mine is now filthy from silver dust/polishing compounds etc etc
