[quote author=Jim_J_Solo link=1306249428/15#15 date=1526058865]Jimbo, The link I posted was the shorter version of the same chair.
Here's the taller one.

Jim J -

Thanks.  I didn't know that chair came in a 19" model.  On the other hand, seems to me I had a chair quite like that one some years ago.  Due to its triangular shape, I found it to be something of a "crotch-buster" & could only sit in it for a few minutes without becoming rather uncomfortable.  I'm not sure that chair would be the ticket for me.

Also, re: that alternative "ground sheet" mentioned by ST.  Could be that's a decent deal.  Also could be it doesn't fit the Sunset Chair at all.  I had neglected to mention that, despite my protestations about "price", I went ahead and paid for the silly thing anyway (I'm going on a beach vacation in August where it will come in handy).  Here's what I discovered:  that $30 ground sheet specifically made for the Helinox Sunset Chair (only the "large" will do) is one tough son-of-a-gun to put on!  It's about as tight a fit as you can imagine.  In fact, had I not been warned in advance by a YouTube demonstrator that this would be the case, I probably would have given up & sent the item back.  It took some serious tugging & strength to put into place.  NOT user-friendly!

With this in mind, I suppose it is possible that the alternative, lower-priced ground sheet might actually fit better.  On the other hand, it might not work at all.  Beware!
