I need a good shop chair. I want something comfortable that gets me up above the bench a little bit. Swivel would be nice. Padded arm rests maybe, definitely a sturdy footrest. Currently I have a tall kitchen stool and two really cool low diner stools, the old fashioned kind with chrome bottoms and cheesy naugahyde covered seats.

Anybody found the ideal shop stool?
 
That's kinda what I had in mind Kit. Maybe for the ultimate chair I would want arm rests that swivel up and out of the way so that they were optional. I wonder if such a beast exists?
 
Peter, you are only about 40 minutes from this place:

I go here at least once a week. He's got tons of chairs and other office stuff. A chair like what you want would probably go for 50-75 bucks from him. He also has some machines too. I have purchased a few machines from him over they years. Right now he is loaded with the lots of tooling and metals from an old clockmaker's shop. Might be worth a look.
