  1. How would you make this chair 15" taller? https://imgur.com/a/u2FA8io
  2. Would you put something between the top of the chair base and the bottom of the chair seat?
  3. How would you design the base?
  4. What would the dimensions/materials be?
  5. Would you remove the casters and attach the chair base (star looking object) directly to the base you create?
  6. If so, how would you attach it, as the casters have a stem that looks like this?
  7. Is there a chair that already exists where:
    1. you can lean back
    2. it has a headrest
    3. it has foot supports for when you are sitting upright
    4. is 15" taller than a standard office chair? Thank you.

Thank you!

Try "counter height office chair" on amazon. The chair base material needs to be stronger (i.e. more metal). The extra height would sway the chair a lot when you sit on it and crack the plastic base.

That might work! I'll have to look into that. Are you referring to the material from a counter height office chair, or the one I have at the moment (which is a type of plastic)

That isn't something you can reasonably DIY, IMO. Raising the center of gravity that much would be hard to compensate for. It would need a lot of weight in the bottom, and need to be much wider to keep you from tipping over. I don't know how much, or how wide. An engineer could probably figure it out, it would take ma a lot of trial and error. I don't know of an existing chair that fits those requirements.
