I needed 1 more chair for a ground blind. It had to have adjustable legs for uneven terrain & some kind of back rest. I couldn't find the chairs I bought last year, especially nothing at acceptable prices. Darn squirrels ate the fabric off back rest of one chair last year.
With a nice cushion, I'll see if this works. Light weight, 7lb. If not, guess I'll have to pony up $100+! At least I'll have a shower chair i can use a few years down the road...

The chair has ... 30,500 "ratings," which means they sold ten times that amount. That's a bit scary that all those people can't stand up taking a shower. :oops:

I used ... an old wooden chair for years. Uneven? Just dig a little hole for the high leg. Easy peasey. Somebody wanted to steal it? Be my guest...LOL

It's hard to find a cheap chair that is also quiet. I finally gave up and went with the *** Platinum 360 chair. It's not cheap but it is quiet and heavy. The fewer moving parts/bolts/screws the better.
I've got several good chairs that I use. This will be a half a$$ venture to find a cheaper acceptable option.

I'm thinking ... of pulling the Tidewe blind chair out of my Sportsmansguide 4x4 elevated ground blind because it's fairly heavy. I'm shooting two bean fields 180° apart and I found myself shifting my tripod from one window to the opposite depending on targets and shoving the 23lb chair to the other side in that small blind. Perhaps my Millennium 8½lb G100 chair being a lot lighter could make that operation a tad easier.

I have found when quiet comfortable easy and light are needed it's hard to beat a simple cheap bag chair. If you need to level it dig holes if its to low add a inner tube cushion.

More permanent stands a office chair is very nice.

I have a set of trigger sticks in my blinds that don't have a rest. But i'd say 75% of the time i just shoot freehand. I have shot farther but seldom shoot much over 40 yards if i shoot that far.

I'm a huge fan of Re*Neck but after using that chair a few times while hunting I found it very uncomfortable in my opinion.

Says 16ib, my scale says 13lb without packaging.

But my scale tends to lie when I stand on it 😂

Definitely not a lightweight sneak hunt chair. But perfect for throwing in ground blinds & leaving there for the season.

Seat is very cushiony & swivels (seat only, not back rest). Seat & back cushion covers are removable to wash.

Seat came fully assembled, just having to attach the 3 leg extensions (snap in)
