Maybe we could all write to Wenger and request that they make chairs that 
aren't for people who are 30 feet tall or more.  I don't for the life of me 
understand what they're thinking.  I remember when our orchestra got a set of 
those damn things.  We had two violinists whose feet didn't reach the floor at 
all.  It took me a long time to realize that those chairs were affecting  my 
playing in a bad way.  I recovered one of the older "normal" chairs and the 
stage hands were happy to make sure I had "my" chair at every service.  Mostly 
because it pissed the management off royally.  I have a friend who brings his 
own chair to freelance gigs.  A pain in the butt, but probably well worth it.  
I have an old Steelcase chair (made in Michigan!) you know, the kind they used 
to have in offices that have the grey legs and the green plastic seat pad.  I 
covered it in black and painted the frame flat black.  It's a great height for 
me and I've
 schlepped it to quite a few gigs.
