I just ordered the Shappell chair you linked above - thankyouverymuch - and look forward to using it

I look forward to your review of it. I downloaded the pfd manual for it, and from what I could see, I think you could drop some weight by drilling out the adjustable legs ( honey-combing) between and at 90 degree angle to the push-button holes.
I bet you could do the same for the upper arms as well. Say 1/4 holes every inch side/top but not next to each other if you know what I mean.
Maybe get under 3# or lower with a little MacGivering. ;)

I'm doing that to a aluminum Coleman director type chair and if I can get around 3#, I'd be more than happy.
