Bonjour Karen,

    Did you consider removing (permanantly) the bottom drawer and
    replace it with a bench skin? 

    It does the job and it is comfortable. 

    I am very tall and when I bought my first bench height was a
    problem. I found a 93cm high bench with a very small drawers and a
    bench skin. I have an adjstable chair plus I keep a very low stool
    (around 35cm high) in the workshop when I need to work with the bench
    at my shoulder level. 

    Another suggestion is to try one of these back freindly stools, the
    type where you actually kneel on.Your knees won't be in the way
    anymore. It is adjustable in height and it is padded on the kneerest
    and the bottomrest. I tried one of these stool at a freinds desk and
    found it very comfortable. 

    I hope you 'll find a solution since it would be sad not to use such
    a beautyful bench
