Next week Lidl supermarkets are selling an adjustable ironing stool that
looks to me as if it might be usable as an observing chair. It's only 13

I bought one of these some time ago and, in my opinion, it is not very
convenient as an observing chair. The main problem I found is that the
seat height is not readily adjustable and the stability is not quite good
enough, Then, I am 77 and have some arthritis.
