This allows for instant adjustment of the padded seat to whatever height you need for observing with your telescope.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this worth the extra $55 over the vestil cpro-800lp ergonomic worker seat/chair? https://www.amazon.com/dp/b0052pjfcw/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pc_ns_ttl?_enc**
A: Whether it's worth the extra cost, I can't really say.  All I know is that it is really comfortable and easily adjustable while viewing.

**Q: Can this chair be used indoors in an apartment for star gazing?**
A: Yes it may be used indoors or outdoors. It's a folding chair that is height adjustable and sturdy.

**Q: Can this chair be used indoors in an apartment?**
A: I could say yes, but this chair was never meant for general sitting.  The intent was to provide some relief to astronomers using their equipment.  It will never be as stable as a chair made for the household.  There are many better alternatives, in my opinion.

**Q: How wide is the seat?**
A: Seat is very wide and comfortable.
Very nice that it's adjustable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arguably the most essential telescope accessory!
*by T***S on September 11, 2016*

I began my voyage into amateur astronomy two years ago when my four year old son asked me to show him where the aliens live. (My answer to him: Possibly around Kepler 22b) We ended up getting an Orion XT10G Goto Dobsonian telescope and began down the path that so many others do by purchasing other accessories for our scope. At the time I had a three foot step ladder that I took with me from my garage and used when we viewed in our backyard or went out to our dark site (about 20 min outside the city). In that first year, I didn't concentrate much on chairs because I was busy thinking about lenses, power packs or filters.But, this past summer, I went on my first astronomy camping trip with several other gentlemen from here in Northern California to a very dark site in central Nevada. Several of these guys had layouts of high end equipment including some nice chairs like the Catsperch, the Vestil 600 and the Televue stools. After sitting my lazy butt down on a few of these to look through their scopes, I was immediately hooked. Sadly at this star party, no one had a StarBound chair. But, I did get to try the Vestil CPRO 600 chair which was well built and very sturdy. The only downside of that chair was that you have to remove the padded seat and then rehook it into a higher or lower rung before you can sit back down.After a bit more research, I ran across some reviews for this StarBound chair at places like the Cloudy Nights forum. Since everyone had glowing things to say about the StarBound, I decided to give them a shot (and with Amazon's warranty at my back). The chair came about seven days later (shame that it does not qualify for Amazon Prime shipping) and was boxed very well. Installation took all of five minutes and I was up and sitting my big butt on it in no time.The only thing I do not like about the chair is that it comes with standard flat head bolts. This means that you must either use a wrench or the correct socket with a ratcheting wrench to finish the setup. I would prefer to see this changed to the far better and more user friendly socket head bolts that use an Allen key. Another point worthy of consideration is that the height only goes up to 33 inches at the highest setting. That means that if you have a big dobsonian scope, you are going to need the Catsperch chair (which has a foot rest and can go up to 48 inches high) Other than those two minor concerns and I love this chair. The best thing about the chair is that you simply take your weight off the chair's cushion for a moment, slide it up or down to where you need it and apply pressure from your rear end and keep on observing. It is really that simply and takes much less time than the Vestil or Catsperch chairs that I used at the star party. You spend more time observing and less time futzing with your chair. The base is also great and the is stable even on titled ground. The chair is rated for up to 350 pounds so hopefully it can cover most everyone out there. (for my 182 pounds, the chair is rock solid)Company Seven even offers this chair with white rails so that you can see it easier in the dark while observing if you want that option. For myself, I have had no trouble with my black finished model at my rural site. I can also say that the finish on the rails appears good and does not easily scratch off and the cushion is well made and comfortable. I only have two months on my chair so far but it has been an excellent addition to my hobby. It is actually far more useful than many of the other lenses or filters I have. And when you are rock steady, you can actually see something just a tad bit better. So, believe it or not, this chair has actually improved the seeing of several of my favorite targets (like M31 and M42). Overall this chair is easily five stars and I can highly recommend to anyone else getting into astronomy. Clear skies!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Addition for Telescope users
*by E***5 on September 13, 2020*

I purchased a relatively large telescope a few years ago with one of my main goals being planetary viewing. As anyone who gets into this hobby knows, purchasing the telescope itself is only the beginning as you find yourself continually spending additional dollars on equipment upgrades, better eyepieces, filters, etc. in order to enhance your viewing experiences.While trying to improve my views of Jupiter and Saturn in particular, I have literally spent thousands since buying the telescope itself and have enjoyed some increasingly amazing views for having done so.So far, one of the best improvements I've had in viewing the planets and various deep sky objects has come from purchasing this chair, which was something I did not expect.I had purchased the chair simply because spending several hours looking through a telescope can be a little tough on the neck, back and legs if you're standing the entire time, so something that would allow me to look at planets while seated would obviously solve that problem.What I did not expect is the secondary benefit that I got by making myself more stable during the viewing session. Details on Jupiter and Saturn were so much easier to see because I've now added much more stability to the last element of the optical chain, the person who's looking into the eyepiece.Additionally, the chair's height adjustment is very quick and easy it's very sturdy, well balanced and comfortable.I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys long nights under the stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great viewing chair
*by C***  on October 10, 2014*

Very sturdy chair and easily changes position for different scope heights. Additionally, its far more comfortable than my camp chair! :) My only gripe is that the front legs aren't flared as well. Being flared would perhaps add a bit of stability and would help immensely on adjusting the seat height.
