When I'm by myself, I can't be sitting in the chair and take the picture (I also don't have a tripod). But here's the chair.....a chair my adult kids make fun of because this was their Papazan chair when they were in college. I think they find it funny because in their mind a Papazan is for the young, and not the old....but who knows. I will tell you one thing, that chair is comfortable.
