Adjustable viewing chair was created by Nephin
Hi everyone.

Not sure if this is in the right section or not.
I find that my back begins to ache if I'm observing for a while. Do any of you use or would recommend an adjustable chair or stool? I've been looking around but can't find any chair that you can adjust the height.

Thanks.

I'm glad you posted this.
I've been on the look out for one also,
I think John O Mahony got one in a hardware store?
John?....

Hi,
A number of years back I bought an ironing chair, it has an adjustable height seat, perfect for viewing with my auld SCT, never saw any ironing action though.

I use a drummer's stool with my portable setup, but something with even a short back provides more support.

Here's a picture of my rolling observatory chair -- even that short 9 or 10" back helps considerably.

The ironing chair is a good idea.
I was thinking about a drummers stool but as you say a bit of a back support would be better.

I use a Brabender ? ironing chair that I bought from Atlantic Homecare. It cost €50. It works very well and folds away taking up very little space in the boot of the car.
