I tried to make one of them, but couldn't find an office chair with a low enough base - ended up sitting too high even on lowest setting

Then got some self tapping screws screwed the base onto the bottom of the turb seat bolded it back on the swivel bit then bobs you uncle one mint seat

Nice.
I told the missus I was gonna sort one of these when we get our new computer desk as I'm currently sat on a low stool: get leg ache after a while sat cross-legged on the floor almost but she won't let me do one

Gonna have to try to bully her into it

Who fitted that carpet!

I'd go for the budget option which would be bolting a seat to a stool!
