I got this one too. Brilliant chair, does the job without the "astro" label price tag

My handiwork from some years back

I use this Ironing Chair - does the job

I use a Mey musicians chair.

One of my best ever astro purchases.

Very solid, built to a high standard.

It adjusts up and down, and tilts left to right.

Not exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for.

FLO used to sell them at one time, but not any more.

I brought mine from Germany directly. Easy transaction, very reasonable shipping & quick delivery.

HIGHLY recommended.

Not at all; it's a very sophisticated product, developed by a group of avid stargazers, and it's build oozes quality (e.g. all fittings stainless steel)! A real joy to sit on, moreover for guests in outreach situations, or children. Good value for money.

Hi all,

Out of curiosity (and with my router at the ready...) how thick is the plywood?

I see Craig has used 18mm.

[Ullomat]

Hi,

26mm for the magnum Version and 21mm for the standard version. 

For transport add 20mm thickness for the legs of the chair. 

cs,

Uli

Just got one of these, 5 height adjustments, padded seat and very stable:

What about an 'armchair astronomer' chair, for those wild winter nights when us oldies choose a good old classic fireside read rather than freezing to death. ☺

Does this count?

Mine in my night obsy, plus portable chair's, lol.

[Tiago Ferreira]

Mine.
