Recommend an observer's chair ?

I recently bought a Celestron refractor 90 mm diameter with the GO-TO function. I now need a chair with an adjustable height.

Bintel sells one for $179, http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories...oductview.aspx

and Andrews Communications sells another one, Skywatcher-branded, for $169, http://www.andrewscom.com.au/images/...s/sw-chair.jpg

In my opinion, they are too flimsy for that price.

Is there anything else ? Do you use something else, like a step ladder ?

To be honest, I find a need for a chair to be only mild. I am not sitting while changing and manipulating eyepieces. Then I focus onto a planet or constellation, marvel at it for few seconds, and move on to the next item on my agenda. What am I doing wrong ?
