Cane Chair

A Cane Chair simultaneously provides the advantages of a cane for support and stability plus (reportedly in a matter of seconds) a seat for resting. As a cane, it generally weighs 2-3 pounds with ergonomic handle and non-skid feet; and as a seat, it’s reportedly ample in size for most people with a weight-bearing capacity up to 300 pounds. Brand names include Ta-Da Chair, Darza, YaYaYo, BigAlex, Honmido, Switch Sticks, Shikiy, and they are readily available from online general-merchandize outlets.

Cost: $50-$150
