Nice chair cataclysm!
The key thing that I liked was the fact it is long enough to offer support for your head when you lie down. The more inclined it is, the "wider" the FOV you get when looking up...

You are right on the money Mr Airconvent! The design of the chair allows more recline positions than shown in the pictures by spreading the legs further apart with the help of the supporting struts. In fact, the extended padded head rest was an after thought . Obbing with my giant bino on parallever mount with this chair is a real treat.

Hi Cataclysm, can you post some simple plans for the chair?

Is the wood from Ikea? I think I've got some leftover and might start a similar project soon ..

The sky is pretty good these few days .. so I'd better ob first ..

Hi Jeremy, sorry i don't have a proper plan to present. I just built it, and the design evolved as it goes. Basically i try to keep it as simple as possible.

Yes most of the materials were sourced from ikea.
