Fishing Stool Foldable Chair

Post by Gary »

Bought this foldable chair from Carrefour suntec yesterday:

Image

Dimension: 28 x 27 x 29 cm when opened. 5 mm steel tube.
Price: $4.90.

Super compact and easy to collapse/deploy. To give you an idea of how small the blue sitting area is, imagine 2 DVDs placed side by side.

Please try seating on it before buying. Might be too small for those with big butts. :P

Will be using this as an observing chair in an open field until I can find a proper one with adjustable height. Also checking online if anyone constructed a cardboard chair with adjustable height. :)

Wha!! Cardboard chair....must be pioneer of IKEA furniture design!!...HAHA!

Adjustable height may come at a cost of added weight though!

I got a reclining type with fits into a small tube bag,..also has a 'beer can holder'..hehe at the arm rest! Cost me $10 from Carrefour! Bought that when I did the F1 last year...and will be with me again this year! No fun standing from 11am to midnight!!!
