Vestil CPRO-800LP Steel Height Ergonomic Worker Chairs 18.5 In. to 35 In. 220 Lb. Capacity Black

Great little chair. I use it for astronomy and have two different mounts I use it with. It has a small footprint which in the photos make it seem like it might be unstable. It really isn't. For astronomy this is actually a plus as it has to work its way between tripod legs depending on your vantage point to the eyepiece. It is light and very simple to move and readjust in height which you will do a lot during a typical night of observation. With the seat positioned where it is you have somewhat of a footrest with the lower support bar below it. It feels like a bar stool allowing a 270+ degree arc to swing your arms through because it has nothing on either side of you in the way.I weigh 200# and it has no trouble holding my weight throughout the height range. To adjust the height you just tilt the seat upward and move it to the desired position and let it fall back into place. It is held rigid by friction due to your weight. The last huge plus with this model is the fact that it folds flat like an ironing board. You can easily place this in the trunk of the smallest of cars.Highly recommended.

Outstanding! Comfortable seat, but the best part is the brilliant mechanism that allows one to easily adjust height! I can literally be seated at the telescope eyepiece, and when I have to move the scope to a different height for viewing, I simply reach behind me with one hand and move the seat up or down! It then locks back into place. No hydraulics or other fancy mechanics. It just hooks and unhooks and slides up and down. It also folds down very well for traveling. The only downsides are that it is a tad heavy (solidly built!) and there seems to be no easy way to grab it to move it, say, across a field. A little awkward that way, but I'd buy it again in a second. It will save me many nights of neck aches from craning my neck to view the heavens!

Purchased for a contrabass clarinet player. Very sturdy and easy to adjust. However; it is also easy to flip up by accident if you stand a bunch to adjust your position, and this makes the seat fall. If you get up you run the risk of seat coming up and unlocking itself. I wish there was a lock other than gravity,

Purchased this chair for visual astronomy in my backyard. I own a 10" dob, 3.5" refractor with az tripod mount, and a 5" newt with an eq mount. Im 5'11 and 150#.First off, packaging was okay. For the price i would have liked to see bubble wrap around the whole chair. Instead it was cardboard basically molded around it with a plastic sleeve in the shipping box. The seat was secure so it probably didn't wobble around too much during shipment. Thankfully mine was fine with no dents, scratches, etc, and no missing parts.Comparison- I was looking at the vestil 600 mostly because of more seat padding. I didnt like design of the 600 chair which would only do 2" increments. Wanting the option of minor adjustments I went with the 800 over the 600 version.The other comparison was with the SB chair. I liked the idea of sitting lower to the ground with my tripod or dob mount. This would keep as many stray lights below the fence line as possible. The two are very similar in the way the seat adjusts. SB chair is more padded and doesnt have a foot rest.Ended up with the 800 because it was a little less money. Figured i could live without the extra padding and makeshift something if it wasnt enough. For me, the padding is fine! Im usually up and moving between a couple of scopes and bringing the chair along. The standing break probably helps, but I have been seated for a good hour and have zero issues with soreness etc.To sum up, very happy with this chair! Use it almost every day unless clouds or weather dont allow me to. Surprisingly stable on a slight decline! I don't feel like I'm going to fall forward. The footrest is well worth it for times like this for stability. Also, when the chair is almost at its highest point my legs don't have to dangle below.This chair can easily fold in half, is light weight, and can be carried in as one piece. I cant say the same for the 600 version since that seat seems to be separate from the frame. Have never used the 600 but something to look into.The ease of seat adjustment on this style frame is so easy! I literally move my butt off the seat and can make an adjustment without having to stand completely up, turn around, and move to the next increment.Ive read a review about the seat rollers wearing over time. I agree, for the price of the chair they could have designed something a bit more durable. For me, i do see indentation spots from my body weight over time. But i should be able to take apart and rotate these to a new spot (see picture). (Lose 1 star for this and repurposed seat).There are chairs that can handle more weight, but this is perfectly fine for me. I wouldnt hesitate to purchase this chair again if need be. Prices are going up and from what ive seen rarely if ever go on sale. Hopefully this review will help you make a decision.

I don't know what else to say! It works, and wonderfully. Such a load off my back and neck on those long sessions at the telescope. I simply cannot stargaze without it anymore. Also a godsend when hosting star parties; 2-3 seconds max to adjust the height in complete darkness. Maybe not as important if most of your viewers are adults, but we do viewings for lots of childrens groups and every time we do the line at my scope is so much longer than all the other guys' because the kids actually have a chance to SEE. VERY sturdy, but don't be an idiot and try to adjust the height with any weight on it and DO NOT try to exceed the weight limit; the device works on friction alone. It does NOT fold down *completely* flat because of the footrest bar; the folded dimensions areapprox 45" vert by about 13.5" wide with a max clearance at the footrest at just a hair over 4". The seat is 10" by 13.5", as stated in the description.I have recommended (successfully!) this exact chair to two other stargazing friends, and now recommend it to you!

I tried using this for astronomy. It's a good chair if you don't weigh 200 lbs like I do. The seat slides down and the mechanism used to hold the seat in place is cheap plastic that will wear out. It is lightweight and the seat easily detaches, which means easy to transport, but also means lack of sturdiness, and the seat itself is thin and uncomfortable. If you're intro astronomy, spend $20 more and get the Starbound chair. So much better than this one.
