Hi,
May be you can show the picture of the chair at different height.
Have a nice day.

Mi Mickath, Very nice design. Did you come up with the design yourself ? Any thoughts on making it more portable by say folding in the back leg and maybe the seat ?

Hi Kohjb,
Actually my design is a collection of ideas from the internet plus my own
ideas. The holding bolt idea is my original idea. So far (touch wood ) I have not seen anyone out there has used this idea.

Hi Kohjb
Actually the shorter leg can be folded behind for storage purpose.
I am now thinking of modifying the seat strut to be folded as well.
Thanks

Hi MicKath,
Oic. But I guess that's accomplished by taking off the bolts on the horizontal strut ?
How heavy is your chair by the way ?

kingKong,
No problem, as long as you do not make mass produce and make business out of it.
Thanks
