Anyone have any suggestions on chairs for control areas that are comfortable and travel well? I've seen a few companies packing third-pack trunks with a pair of chairs inside... I'm looking for something a little more compact! Perhaps fitting four into a quarterpack? Am I dreaming? Perhaps something like this: http://www.officestar.net/Proline/html/84330.html Anyone have any suggestions? |

Dick Rees pointed these out in another thread. Available in 25" and 29" seat heights. The 25" is perfect for me. Tall enough to be about where I would be if I was standing. Sturdy and cheap. $24.99 + shipping http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20059301 |

I have something with the same seat as the roc and soc but it has a 3 leg drum throne stool. Very tall and works great for FOH to either sit in and adjust down a bit, or raise up to kind of half sit and stand before your ready to sit all the way, You can take the seat off and it folds like a drum throne. Tim, easy with the fat stuff, For me its normally a drunk "lady". |

Trying to remember who I saw traveling with a roadcased espresso machine at FOH. |

I think that was part of the "Legendary, Ron Burgundy Case". IIRC. Pat |

At least 2 of my friends in the corporate world have their own touring espresso machines in road cases. I first had one from a vendor in 1991. There is often a mini fridge for milk with the espresso machine. Mac |

Bennett.... As appealing as an armchair with drawers, cupholder and ottoman seems, I'm willing to be that most of my corporate clients might not want to see that at FOH! Either that, or they'll want one too, and that's just more money to spend (unless I can find a way to bill for it!). I'm definitely liking the drum throne idea... I'll have to test a few out and Guitar Center or something to see what seems nice. Those Quick-Lok ones look nice too! And that mixer/speaker/random folding stand looks like a really nice alternative to an EZTilt! |

Sitting on a stool all day with no back is barely better than standing, and a FOH chair that doesn't swivel is off the list. If I'm going to go to the trouble of bringing a chair, it better be worth the effort. Mac |

The next hurdle will be not having wheels on the chair... but 95% of the chairs I get now don't have wheels anyways! |

Wouldn't you want one you bought for yourself to be better than what you have been provided that you feel you need to replace? (wow, that was a lot of "you"s) Staples or Office Max often have the drafting chair on sale for $79 or $99. Mac |

I also picked up one of these for the SC48... http://www.quiklok.com/catalog/?p=productsMore&iProduct= 27&sName=WS-550 I have the console sitting on it now at home and it seems durable enough. I also like that the legs are individually adjustable so I can use it in a raked theater. Well, that's the plan anyway. |

No mater what I take out I return to FOH to find some fat person from the audiance sitting in it. |

Printing FOH on your chair is fairly useless, it seems none of the creeps that "borrow" chairs can read . |
