I would love a chair to use with my big dob but a shortcoming I see with yours is that adjusting height would involve some mucking around.

The best designs IMO are those where you lift/tilt the seat front up toward the back rest to adjust height, and drop it back to horizontal to lock the seat height.

See "denver chair" and "catsperch" observing chair designs.

Also best stability on uneven ground comes from legs giving 3 points of contact on the ground.
