Bench Seat / Stool Question

[thrillhouse]

Hey everyone! With Father's Day and a b-day coming up, I'd like to get a new rolling stool for my bench and wanted to get some ideas of what you guys may be using. I know we all spend countless hours sitting, soldering, and probing away but the Harbor Freight rolling stool that I've been using for the past 2 years is just killing my lower back, even with getting up and stretching periodically. Anyone find a good rolling stool or seat that they're happy with that they could recommend? There's a lot of options out there but I just wanted to possibly get some first hand perspective. Can't be the only 40 something with back pain around here!!!! THANKS!!!

For many years i've just used a simple wooden stool and work surface is a high bench so not bent over, leaning over my work very much, no back issues. Drum stool only seat in my music space.

I use a drum stool also. Try lowering your stool down so the top of your bench is closer to mid-chest level. This will help avoid hunching over.

Awesome, thanks for the ideas! Never thought of using a drum throne before but it makes perfect sense.
