Is the Kelty lowdown chair with a 12 inch seat height low enough to sit in front of the sound booth?

So this had me second guessing myself because I've been using this chair for forever for Festival and I was really concerned that I was being a jerk with a 12-in seat height. So I just pulled mine out and measured it sure enough it's 12 in at the actual seat height but once I sit in it my bum is about 7.5" off the ground which still fits well within the basketball rolling parameter.  I've never had a negative comment about being too high and some of the chairs like the helinox mentioned above are definitely taller but still okay for the lowback section.

We had a guy behind us last year come up immediately after we put up the kelty low loveseats we have and say they were high back and had to be moved. We said we had been using those for years and they are perfectly fine. He was mad, got security and they said to him "those are ideal low back chairs" Kelty just added a lowdown couch this year, which I might have to add to the collection.

My husband and I both find this lightweight chair VERY comfortable.  I love that you can easily adjust it to camp mode or beach mode.  (Costco currently sells it online for $59)

Thanks Travelinghiker. I really like the look of that one. So much so that i just ordered one for this year's TBF!

I have a Helinox and a Kelty low back. Love the Helinox for its lightweight packability. Takes a minute to set up, but worth it sometimes. Love the Kelty for nice sturdy comfort. Armrests with drink holder, etc. I got the mesh because I am usually always too hot. I can throw a blanket under me if it's cold. Still bulky and kinda heavy if walking a long ways.
Happy TBF!
