Due to back issues I need to sit as much as I stand in the shop.I 'm looking for a height adjustable,stable, rolling stool. I've been looking at saddle stools and they seem like just the thing.Have you used one like this?

Re: saddle stool
I have no back issues, I tried one in my office and for sitting at a desk it wasn't what I expected.
I couldn't find the correct sitting position for working on the PC etc., but it's probably better for working in a shop ( different working positions).

Re: saddle stool
Willy, just be careful what stool you purchase is 'stable' - I once had one toss me to the ground on a raised computer room floor as I scooted across it..

Re: saddle stool
the design might allow your posterior to slide off the back when trying to roll backwards
this is not a good scenario
specially in a shop environment where there are all kinds of heavy cornered items for your head to bang into
larger diameter wheels and a seat covering that hangs onto your butt are strongly suggested
no need to ask how i know

My barber has one with a bicycle seat. He's into bikes deep.

I would THINK ( no experience) that a tractor seat might be better.

Herself had back problems when she was writing a book— long hours sitting. She bought a Salli saddle chair.
It helped somewhat, but she missed having back support. (Looking at their website, I see that they do offer back support.)
I use it at my workbench for restoring fountain pens. It's not bad, but I'd not be happy sitting in it all day.
