In general, what is the desired height of the seat of say a rocking chair? I ask this because years ago I made an Adirondack chair from plans. I was very proud of the finished chair. It looked good and was very comfortable. Unfortunately, I could not get up from it. The seat was too low. Too close to the ground. It sits unused in my garage for the last ten years. Now, I want to build my second chair. This would be a rocking chair. I plan to follow the plans outlined in Fine Woodworking (April 2018). The plans show the base of the upholstered seat sitting only 11.5" above the floor. If I follow the plans exactly I will build a second chair I cannot use. Because of my Neuropathy, I need a seat that is raised higher from the floor than most furniture that is manufactured. I am wondering what I can do. You just can't make a chair with the seat height any height you want to have it. The design of the chair might be ruined. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
