Dear Mary,

For my own studio, I am very happy with the Capisco chair by the Danish company Hag
http://officechairsusa.com/hag-capisco-h8106-saddle-seat-w-back/#sthash.xriBj8Ta.dpbsI

the height can be adjusted - there are three sizes for the telescopic lift, + lots of other features, worth every penny.

with best wishes

Has anyone looked into suppliers for ergonomic chairs for textile lab work recently? I would be interested in hearing about successes—and failures!

There were some discussions a decade or more back—have they continued to hold up? Are they still comfortable?

 

Ergonomic chairs appear to be expensive and I would prefer to get something that adapts to people of different sizes.
