Hi Peggy,

    Since I work at a couple different benches I've found that my taller
    bench is much more comfortable. If possible try placing 4-6" blocks
    under your bench to raise it up rather than lowering the chair.  It
    doesn't eliminate fatigue completely but it helps to promote better
    posture. 

Mark
