What do you guys use for chairs in your permanent blinds?

Folding chairs with cushions on them.
Card table type chairs.

Old office chairs. Or even a cheap new one. They swivel, roll and have height adjustments.

Free or cheap office chairs I find on Craigslist. I like the fabric covered instead of the fake leather. They are quieter and warm to sit in. Chairs with arms are more comfortable for long sits than chairs without arms.

Menards has a $21 office chair. Ditch the wheels. Cats ass. Or buy the $49 magnum primos blind chair that helped fund my early retirement.

We sit on 5 gallon buckets. My blinds are not sealed well and anything the mice can chew on they do. The buckets also make it easier for carrying additional things to the blind if/when needed. We typically have several so we can adjust height as needed. I simply toss a cushion on them and we then simply lean up against the side of the blind. The buckets also allow us to keep some things in the blinds away form the mice (toilet paper) and be able to keep it sealed. As my blind building abilities improve and I can seal them better I will look into old office chairs and the like, like others have mentioned.

I have a really nice executive office chair with a nice back rest and arm rests. It reclines nice so I can catch a nap if I feel the need. It adjusts up and down about 10” so shooting at the right window ledge height is a breeze. It was $10 from a lawyers office. Has one small scuff on it when I got it. Its really comfortable, and I am looking for another one just like it.

I picked up the one on left on sale at Office Max for 69 dollars. The one on right my kids had bought this for me about 7 years ago that I had completely forgot about. I now have 2 comfy chairs.  |

Time to start thinking about this again this year. I'm still a few chairs short myself. There's a hotel furniture surplus store here that carries this kind of stuff used, and in bulk. Couple ideas popped up, this isn't current stock, but I will start asking the dude closer to labor day what he's got for me.   You might remember this is the place where I scored this sweet center piece.  |

bad things happen in hotel chairs. Bad things that deer can smell.

When I filled my blinds with chairs I just looked for used office chairs and found them cheap.

Swivel, armed, leather executive chairs that support your head.....and lean-back are of utmost importance to a proper blind. Sweet dreams. These used chairs are pretty easy to find with a little searching online or garage sales.

I have a really nice leather executive chair. I got it from next to a dumpster at staples. They sliced the back of the headrest with a razor blade opening the box(I assume). It sits in my garage waiting for a permanent blind.

Best seat I have now is one where the boy brought home a seat out of a semi truck....we simply built a base and put some 4" casters on it. Yes...it's red-neck as shit...but...it's VERY comfy as well.
