Chair In The Sewing Room

Hello all, I ducked off for awhile as I had a lot of stuff that needed my concentration. Yesterday I got back in the sewing room and my chair broke!

It was an old office chair - I actually can't remember how I aquired it, but I know it must be 20+ years old and it's not repairable, even by my skilled husband.

For now I have a perfectly OK dining room chair. However, I do miss being able to scoot, and given all my arthritis issues, I think a chair with proper back support would be best.

So I thought I'd seek the collective wisdom on the chairs you use, like and why.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Horn sewing chair, which I love. It is fully adjustable and supports my back. There are different fabric options.

You've made me think about what I sit on when I sew! I've never thought about it before, but actually I switch between my paternal grandmother's old wooden chair (for cutting out and pinning) and my maternal grandmother's kitchen stool (at my machine). Both were home seamstresses and the thought that they might have sat in those chairs to sew too has made me well up!
