Observing Chairs in Aus

Folks I am looking for an observing chair to use with my 16" dob. My old back suffers from crouching or squatting down for low angle observation, and I need a solution. I have searched high and low on the internet and looked at all the ladder types, denver chairs, Catsperches, gas stools, draftsmans stools, etc that people are using. As someone who has never had one of these things before, or used them, what's the go? Is there a simple solution available locally (in Aus), a kit, etc, but something not too heavy. Budget, well I looked at the Bintel ladder chair and I was hoping to get something for half that price. ANy suggestions? It doesn't have to look like a piece of fine furniture (as its going to be used in the dark anyway).
