Howdy! I do not like scissor chairs or popup chairs because they make it hard for me to lean forward when eating (I've got a hip implant). I would love some kind of foldable bench that I can just set up. Doesn't have to be ultra-light or anything, metal and wood would be OK, or plastic and metal tubing. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like the bench to be at least 18-20" high.

Not exactly what your looking for but I have found a Yeti bucket works great. Right height and size keeps my drinks handy to boot so I don't mind the space it takes up. Also since I have the drinks I can keep tabs on qty left.

That's a good idea! I could probably also use my Yeti knockoff cooler for this purpose.

I tested with a five gallon bucket with the gamma seal lid, it's sturdy, but too low to the ground. Let's see what ideas others have!

If it‘s just for one person then you could try a drum throne. They’re somewhat light, portable and can adjust to the height you want.

I forgot entirely about directors chairs.

My friend recommended these as well, which would allow me to lean forward over a table and still kick my leg out.

I really liked the idea of the aluminum work platform. It'll have dual purpose, I can use that around the house as well.
