Hello Melissa,

    I recently had exactly this problem to solve and decided to go with
    an inexpensive three-legged piano stool. It's made of cedar, has a
    seat that is mounted on a threaded shaft that "screws" into a matching
    threaded platform below it. So mine meets the "swivel" requirement
    and has about 8 inches of height adjustability once I'd cut it down a
    bit. Sorry, no wheels. 

    FWIW I knew I wanted mine pretty low to the floor so I got one that
    had lots of extra leg that I could cut off to get it down to a comfy
    height. As it sits the minimum height on mine is now about 13 inches
    without the cushion that I sometimes use (that seat can get a little
    hard on the tush after a while). 

    All in all it's proven to be a pretty decent solution for less than
    $30 and about an hours labour for the adjustments.  It took me a
    while to get the wooden screw to stop squeaking when I swivelled on it
    but a couple dollops of multi-purpose "moly-slip" grease on the
    threads solved that problem nicely. 

Cheers, 
Trevor F.
