Workshop stool/chair?

Nov 30, 2005 11 Replies

I have been looking for an adjustable height padded chair that is tall enough to use at the workbench and swivels and rolls. Are there work shop chairs like this? I havent seen anything in the tool catalogs.



any thoughts on where to find one?


Office supply. Some call these workbench stools or drafting stools. Put on casters as needed. I have one in my shop.

Saw the perfect one yesterday in Costco. Made with a motorcycle style seat and, IIRC, 5 casters. $85.00. Sat on it for a while and liked it - seemed fairly heavy duty. I'm mulling over going back to get one.

Typist/office chair. Height, back, adjustable. Padded Casters. $5 used.

JOAT A rolling stone gathers no moss...unless it's a hobby he does on the weekends.

'd have to put casters on it to meet your specs.

I stop in at the local St Vinnie's once a month or so. Just about every time, I see stools like that, in various conditions. A lot of 'em look pretty heavy-duty.

I've been using a drafting chair for over 20 years. It has height adjustment, back support, swivels, rolls around, cushioned, and has a foot rest. Of course you can make a custom (less comfortable) wooden one.

Or you could go the DIY route - Lee Valley has a piano stool mechanism and plans:

intend to make the stool this winter - I have an upholsterer friend who will pad the seat for me.
