Darkroom stool, what are you using?

[Eric Woodbury]

I'm getting ready to live in my darkroom. I'd like to be able to sit occasionally. Now I have a 1950's industrial stool with no back and not much else. I'd like a stool that has a full back, that I can sit in at counter/sink height when I have a moment. Can't afford a Hermann Miller. What are the rest of you using?

Thanks

Barstools from Ethan Allen. Tall enough to sit on or lean against.

I use my friends darkroom and he has a nondescript office chair. His sink has a knee area so it works out well. The chair is on casters so you can roll around if desired.

I have a very generic wood stool I bought about 30years ago. I only use it when processing film and when looking at negatives.

i don't have a stool myself. i would say a cheap one from ikea would be good.

I use a yard sale special.

If I find any stool in my darkroom I have other problems to worry about.

Since you mentioned it, I happen to have a 30 year old Herman Miller desk chair in my darkroom. Come to think of it, I have one of their tables in there too. There is also a $99 adjustable height, upholstered stool at the wet side that I bought from Office Depot. I am not sure that anything upholstered really belongs in a darkroom but so far they do not seem to contribute significant dust.

If I were really indulgent I would have one of these. But I would cry if it were to be stained.

I use a smaller style, padded stool intended to sit down at a buffet eating area. It's about 25" or 27" in height. I usually stand, but once in a while, it's nice to relax a little.

I have a padded rolling draftsman's stool. I didn't like having a back on the chair, I like this because I can hit it from any direction while in the dark...EC
