neat idea for stool/chair seating position

I was getting a back ache everytime I sat down to practice throwing, so I
searched the ClayArt archives a few months back, and many people suggested
raising the back of the chair or stool or raising the wheel on blocks. I did
both. This helped a lot, but was a little awkward if I turned around or
pushed my chair back. I was surfing my local supplier's web site
(http://www.brackers.com), and one of her customers, Diane Heptig, had
suggested a shower chair. A shower chair has 4 individually adjustable
legs, is plastic, so easy to clean, and has 8 different height levels.
I thought this was a good idea, so I surfed some more and found an
adjustable legged shower chair with a back for under $48.00 (including
shipping and handling. It was delivered today, so I put it together and
tried it out, and I really like it. It is very stable and I can put the back
legs up as high as I want in relation to the front legs.
Maybe this will help someone else.

Thanks,
