Wanted: good Tisha bav chair / stool for shul

[Let3]

Should be easy to stack / store ,
And a good price for a few dozen or so would help as well

[yungermanchik]

I took a regular outdoor plastic chair and measured 10 tefachim down from the seat and sawed the legs to a drop less.

I assume you mean 10 inches?

I meant 3 tefachim (which is approx. 10 inches)

[drosenberg88429]

Btw, don't take my word for this (AYLOR, particularly being as these are considered normal chairs and it's very possible according to many shittos that just that alone is enough to make them assur), but I've found your average camping chair to have less than 10 inches from the bottom of the seat when you are sitting in it to the floor.

Is the shiur 3 tefachim?

Never heard a shita like that before.

As a practical matter beach chairs would gain more popularity for Tisha B'av if they were black. Perhaps the kosher lamp company or shayna coat company will come out with something.

? Many shuls have regular chairs that aren't black. Some even have light colors

I'm opening a can of worms, I know, but what happened to the good ol' sitting on the floor?

[Ver hut gazugt]

very very uncomfortable.
It's not a new phenomenon as you infer.

[dm123]

If they would only give out the milk crates with the milk bottles...

I'm opening a can of worms, I know, but what happened to the good ol' sitting on the floor?

Can of worms should fit right into the cupholder in the beach chair.
That cupholder always did grab my attention on Tisha B'Av.

[monoso]

I have yet to see someone sitting on the floor when they are sitting availus, and hilchos tisha bav are learned from there.
