What type chair in the reloading room?

[wv109323]

I just spent 6 hours in my reloading room loading up some ammo. I have a small folding wooden chair. After a while it gets quite uncomfortable. There is no cushioning and it is only about 12 inches wide. So ,what do you find comfortable and has back support?
It needs to be movable because I have 5 presses and need to move to get in an ideal positions in front of each press. I can not imagine that an armchair would work.

I just have a wooden stool. I seldom sit while loading or casting.

I use an old office desk chair. It seems to work well.

A good quality office type rolling chair. The one I use has built in lumbar support. Makes a HUGE difference. YMMV. - Caster

My bench is fairly tall so I use a stool like you would find at the old auto parts stores.

I use a wooden stool for my reloading bench and a metal folding chair with a cushion for casting. If my wooden stool gets uncomfortable I throw a pillow on it.

One is a goodwill stool that I added to an old base with wheels. The black one I bought off Craigslist for $10. It is tall with a footrest. Total outlay for both, $25. Both ware quite comfortable.

Office chair. But then again I am a one legged reloader/caster.

Mine is an old banker's chair I found in the basement of an office building in Concord, NH over 35 years ago - it was abandoned and broken. I replaced the base, casters, and did some repairs on the swivel mechanism and it's still going. My son (240lbs then) had it at college for a couple of years and I had to do some rebuilding then, too.

Like Flailguy, my bench is a bit taller than normal. I designed it to be comfortable when standing beside it. My choice is a wooden stool like one used to find in a counter-top restaurant. That stool dates back to 1970 when I bought it new. It has held up fairly well over the years, including a few residence moves. The spindles between the stool legs are really handy to hook and rest my heels. I have repaired the seat section a few times because of fractures (to the seat, not me). My next improvement will be a completely new top panel over the existing seat. That old stool is light enough to be quickly moved around to either make room or to be used where needed. SWMBO has cast the evil eye at it a few times but I remind her that the stool has been with me longer than she has, by about a year. Hope she leaves it alone, I'd really miss it.

i bought 6 high quality office chairs with lumbar support as well as the "up / down" piston for height.

i took 2 of them and removed the seat and mounted 20" tables to the wheel section.
...one for left side ...one for right side.

p.s. these were $275 each chairs ...i got all 6 for $15 each.

My bench is a little taller than the ordinary work bench as I find it easier to work on. I have a wood stool - bought at a flea market years ago that I use when working on things on the bench top. When I work on my presses, which are mounted at bench height on the edge, I have an older rolling "secretary's chair" that works well. You can get a decent rolling secretary's chair at Office Max for a reasonable price. I like it as mine is on rollers and if I need something that is out of arm's reach on the bench, I can just roll over and get it and roll back and continue on the press.

Hi...
I have a large office type leather chair in my reloading room, I only use it when I am sorting brass or looking through my reloading manuals.
I do at least 90% of my reloading standing up.

Office chair here. But my casting/reloading area is also my computer room.

Easily adjustable for height, swivels, rolls fairly well as long as the floor is clean.

In my other man cave, the fly tieing area I use a computer chair with the back removed. Runs into less stuff, arm's don't get in the way.

Costco shop stool with an adjustable gas strut. High for reloading, low enough to see the spout casting. $40.

I have an old repurposed dinette chair from the early 1970s. It works fine for me and is just the right height for my bench. It looks something like this one. Its made of heavy pine.

I have an old office chair also, rolls around well enough till you hit a stray wayward primer, that’ll stop it in its tracks. Helps to remind you to keep floor swept at least once a month or so, luckily the wife doesn’t visit too often.

Yep.
I have a very very old (circa 1940s?) swivel Office chair made of wood with cast iron screw/height adjuster. It is form fitting (my form at least, LOL) and quite comfortable, I removed the vintage wooden caster wheels as they were too worn to function. I use it without casters, it is heavy and has a very solid feel.

An old solid oak office chair and mostly I use a stool from the shop made from an old tractor seat.
