having the right height bench is essential for good ergonomics i have two models in my etsy shop or comtacr me.

the Louet bench is for taller weavers 5'6" and up a bonus it will push inside the the ch60 loom with the 2" or higher height extenders when not in use.

the glimakra benches are for all loom heights and differnt height weavers. it will not push inside the saori looms ,it is wider.
