Guest MrsR Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Been wondering about getting a easily portable and adjustable chair for my Dob - any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 We have two of these from Amazon - they were only £16 when we bought them: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Ideas-Ironing-Chair-Adjustable/dp/B004SN7IXM We have two cos Di is allmost a yard shorter than me so they're set at different heights. They ain't exactly straightforward to adjust - especially if you're fidling in the dark. But something similar but with easier adjustment would be good for you. If I recall you're quite tall Nikki so you'll be fine at the eyepiece with high objects - but for lower ones you really don't want back strain - Amazon and ebay have loads of alternatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ironing stools can quite often be found in charity shops, as Kim says they can be fiddly to adjust but saying that I rarely alter mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 keep an eye out for the lidl ironing chair, the best accessory you can buy, very adjustable and comfyballowing you to sit at the eyepiece and observe properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I go this one, a bit over priced, but works OK. />http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leifheit-71310-Multi-Seat/dp/B000XQG7R6/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1300477875&sr=1-47 They definitely make observing a more pleasant experience, and save your back no end.

Guest Fluke Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I like the look of that Martyn, another for the Xmas wish list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Doctor Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Martyn, +1 for the stool, I got one of those and it works a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrsR Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 My hubby suggested a drumkit stool ? Do you think that would work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Might be a bit low - and maybe won't adjust high enough - but I'm just imagining it and could be wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrsR Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 From tonight's session I know whatever chair shouldn't be hard to adjust, quick and easy definitely as I was up and down like a seesaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8472 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've just bought an ironing chair for peanuts - and hopefully no more backache. Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fluke Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've just bought an ironing chair for peanuts - and hopefully no more backache. Woohoo! Im still looking, have you got a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8472 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Technically speaking no, as it was used on fleabay. I'm pretty sure it's this one, if you're looking to buy new, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 That's the one we use Kev - got two of them at different heights cos they're a taddy tricky to adjust in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
