Larry, don't get one of them small triangle chairs, after about an hour that triangle is up your you know what, they aren't comfortable at all. The one I use is one of the smaller folding chairs with no arms supports that could get in your way.

I think a swivel dove bucket seat would be more comfortable than those triangular jokes.

I made my own out of an old bar stool, cut the legs down to the right height and then put a boat seat on the swivel. Works great for me.

I went dumpster diving and found an old office chair that swivels. No creaking/squeaking noises, so it should be plenty quiet.

double bull now has an oversized chair... I highley recommend it.

If its a blind that your going to leave out.

Can't beat the height adjustable office chair with no arms

I bought one of those seats used in jon boats. It is a plastic seat with a back, it swivels and has legs just the right height for the pop up blind. I got it a Gander Mountain over near the section that has the stuff for a duck hunting boat. Good luck.

Go get you a cheap office chair from Office Depot or the like for lik $50 or so. You don't need the arm rests. The swivel is very quiet and you will be confortable for long sits and you can adjust the height perfectly. That's what I'm doing this year. Marty Thomas brought one out last year for using in his pop up blind and they work great.

When I bought my pop-up, it came with one of those 3 legged chairs. After about an hour, I felt like I had been ridin' a horse all day. I use a fold up metal chair. You know, one like the Pro-Wrestlers use.

There ya go. Your set. 270 degrees of rotation and they're fairly quiet. Lat year I put my pop-up out about a week before Bow Season and left it out all season. After gun season started, I went to hunt the pop-up, and cows had got to it, pulled it out of the bushes and roughed it up a little. That metal chair was still in the same spot with a bottle of water sitting on the seat right where I left it. LOL

You are talking about the spider chair. If you google it you will find more. My Academy and Gander Mtn. were both selling them last year.
