I bought a couple of compact plastic stools ($6 in an el cheapo shop) - searched for a while to find something suitable. They weren't too bad to practice balancing on your tailbone.

I've also bought another stronger, but lower and with a back, chair. It's a kids chair from Freedom - cannot remember the name but it was $12.95 or $14.95. I had planned to, but haven't tried it, yet. I planned to use if for high altitude viewing only - with legs stretched out in front of me and leaning against the low back.

Whatever you get, I think you need something that can get in close to the tripod - and allow you to stretch your legs out under the tripod - which helps with balance.

Of course, for lower altitude viewing, my old office gas lift chair is fine.
