Apologies in advance if this is common knowledge but Bugger me if an upturned plastic milk crate is not the perfect height to sit on while swinging spanners under a Beetle engine lid🤪
Was just bustin my already rooted knees replacing the manifold boots on my 1600tp and tried sitting on one, Perfect. Now all it needs is some wheels😎

Get an old office chair, take the back off it and set the seat at it's lowest setting, ideal and has a padded seat and wheels

Only 4......I just hope the milk-man NEVER looks in my shed.🙄
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

They are a bugger on the lawn though & get bogged easily!😂😂

I've had these for years now, but only because the backs were breaking off our computer chairs! Put them down in the shed and found them to be very handy.

a little bit off topic, but in my old place in Sydney i had a whole cellar wall filled with milk creats on their side , cable tied together, and bracketed to the wall ....... best wine rack EVER.... and it only cost about $10.

Your original idea is the best - a milk crate.....but it needs to be casterated.

get some caster wheels from a hardware shop and bolt them to some falcadore seats and then you got the perfect work shop low rider seats for doing jobs like that
