Hey Rod - This sound like a nice cheap (interim) option but no longer available

This one from Bintel is very good. Bit more expensive but will last for ever, much more comfortable than you'd think and will make observing an absolute pleasure for your back.
Andrew - I think you are right. I may just have to bit the bullet and purchase a decent chair. I called Bintel today and they quoted $25 delivery - making total price of chair $204.

Thank you for this link. Plans always come in handy if I feel a project coming on!

Thanks Bill - I gave Geoff a call this afternoon & he confirmed that they have all been sold. Shame as I would have purchased it! He also stated that a local shop was selling the exact same items for $259 each. At this price I would prefer the Bintel chair.

Cheers
