A good deal at H Mart!

#1

Post by Seeker »


For those of you lucky enough to have an H Mart nearby I picked up this heavy duty anti-gravity chair today for $49.99. Lots of bino users, including me, like these.

I paid nearly three times this price online for another one with the exact same frame rated for 440 lbs.

I should have bought two but I don't need more! Saved the other one for YOU!

I have one like that, except dark blue fabric, bought at Dick's Sporting Goods, for maybe $60 on sale a few years ago. Mine is a really nice, well built, chair that I have used for two of the Astronomy League binocular projects. It worked out really nice for that.

I still set it up sometimes when I think I am going to need to scout out an area first with binoculars before going after some object with a scope....need to get it out more than I do. It has proven to be a very useful piece of equipment.

I have a couple of similar ones from a few years ago.

I added a third party cup holder which turned out to be very useful for keeping bino/eyepiece caps

I have found that strapping a couple of empty amazon shipping boxes to the armrests using bungee cords, helps in resting my arms on them at a higher level.
