    Looking for a decent chair

    I have a Skyshed Pod observatory.  It is a 7' diameter structure with a hard floor.  I am currently using a secretary's chair on wheels, which is great.  The obvious problem is that it only has about 6" of height adjustment.  It doesn't go low enough, and it doesn't go high enough.  I am looking for a chair or stool on wheels, that will go down to about 12" and up to about 30".  Has anyone ever seen such a thing?  I have a standard "astronomy chair" that is built like a step ladder that the seat slides up and down the rails, but it takes up way too much space, is very hard to move and the seat has a tendency to go to the bottom every time you move it.  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Florida guy.
