Hi Karen,

    One way you can find out what height suits you is to get hold of a
    simple, old fashioned typists chair - one on which the centre
    spindle is screwed and will wind right down low. Now with the chair
    wound right down, sit on it up to a normal table and mess about with
    a few things as if you were making jewellery. Then wind the chair up
    a bit and try again. Repeating this will tell you where you want the
    bench in relation to your upper body and, at that point, you can
    measure the height of the chair seat. Now move away from the table
    and wind the chair up to a height where your legs are comfortable -
    maybe sit and watch TV for a while to make sure you are going to be
    comfortable sitting for long periods like that. Again measure the
    height of the chair seat and, adding the difference between the two
    seat heights to the height of your table will give you the ideal
    height for your bench. (If you can't get hold of a chair that winds
    down far enough, put blocks under the table legs to start with). 

Best wishes,
Ian
