One of my most used items is a humble garden chair much like this one
only with that woven plastic stuff as a seat for my 12" dob

I reverse it and lean into the sloping handles at differant points to get at the eyepiece , yes your still standing but I find I can keep my back and shoulders fairly straight and hold a steady comfortable view for quite some time , one knee sometimes on the seat for a little lower height , or steadier view ,and its easily flipped around in a second to sit in the sucker or moved completely out of the way with one hand .

I made one of those denver chairs and while it worked fine
I never found it a joy to use and it eventually got claimed by the garden
