You could do the work yourself, I’m simply offering the service for those that do not have the time, space or tools.
Most people have been using Meco model #33 chairs. Unfortunately those made for Lowe’s and Staples have had a shorter distance between the front and rear legs since about April of 2014, resulting in a less than steady chair. I have a small supply of the longer based chairs without a front crossbar, in flat black for $60 each. Wood Halasana Boxes coming soon… just kidding. No plans to add them, but you never know. Pune belts / straps – $7.99 for individual belts which I can include with a chair order or USPS priority mail shipping will be $5.75. Regular chairs with front crossbar – much higher quality – for now the same price at $55 per chair. I don’t have any in stock but can place an order if you want chairs made. Tall backless chairs start at $135, and bulk discounts are not available. I started making Tall Chairs in 2008. Having a room where I could leave a Tall Chair setup ready for supported Sarvangasana is what made it so I could easily do inversions every day, even if I was tired.
A simple chair is what I credit for establishing my home practice. For that reason I thought others should have access to such a simple tool. The legs are internally reinforced with heavy tubes fit to the leg extensions with a hydraulic press before being TIG welded together. Yes, this is overkill. I looked at epoxy but the preparation time is about the same as welding. In either case, the original plastic feet are used which allows the chairs to move across the floor when needed, such as in supported Viparita Dandasana. If you don’t want the chair to slide, put it on a sticky mat. Here is a photo taken in July of 2014 at Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, in Pune. It shows the height of the tall chair in comparison with the tall chairs made for the Institute. Maybe you have used them before and want a comparison. It is my chair in the foreground. I am not willing to make the backs taller because they become oversized for shipping which will double the rates. It would also add two hours of labor per chair, and an few $ in parts so it starts adding up very fast.
If you need these made you should consider contacting a local welder and give him a sample chair so he can see how thin the material is. Very few people can weld material that thin. I met the gentleman that makes the tall chairs in for RIMYI in Pune and can forward your contact information to him if you are interested in negotiating on pricing but you should be aware of import fees on folding metal chairs before investing much time. It is called a “dump duty”, originally placed to reimburse American corporations but now those are international. Last I checked, the Meco chair division is owned by a Luxembourg based corporation, the American jobs are gone. I’m not sure who is getting paid with the supposedly collected dump duty taxes. If flying back from Pune a tall chair would be over the airline size limit but sometimes the airline does not measure. I should also mention the folding chairs from Pune do not actually fold flat. The boxes I use are technically too large for airlines to handle at normal rates, but have been allowed to check them through on a few occasions.
If the price of $135 is out of your budget, I have a contact on the east coast that makes a very simple version which will cost much less. Spare plastic parts are available for older Meco chairs. I do not rate the weight limits for my chairs. If someone else has rated their chairs to a certain weight, who performed the test? I am 6′ tall, and have practiced with these chairs when weighing as much as 190 pounds. I intentionally broke one by jumping on it repeatedly until the soldered brace on the leg which is soldered to the front leg came loose. This is the pivot point where a pin it attaches the leg to the seat. I have seen one customer’s chair fail at this point. I have not had a customer contact me about other failures in over eight years of making tall chairs. I will be reasonable about warranties if the issue ever comes up but neglect, abuse, or misuse… let’s be fair – I don’t actually make money on this. It doesn’t cover the workshops I pay for with the Iyengar teachers I study with.
I have a practice, and this supports it. If you have found a source for another tall chair I would advise you to check the distance between the front and rear legs. I do not allow that distance to be less than 22 inches for a tall chair with a seat height that is usually around 20.5 inches. Here are a few random chairs I have accumulated while looking for other suitable models. Grey tall chair with front cross bar – these are pretty good and would recommend them. They have a front cross bar, as all future chairs are likely to have. It has primer only right now and is awaiting paint and chair feet to be reinstalled. Distance between front and rear legs is 22.25 inches. This is a very poor picture, but it shows the distance between the front and rear legs of an older regular height chair and the Chinese prototype chair. Note 19 inches – almost 50cm. Note less that than 19 inches on the other chair which has a seat height and back 20% higher. Height greater than base…
