I have an Alite Mayfly, an older model that is relatively heavy but I won't hike without it. The luxury of sitting with my butt suspended off the ground has very much become worth the weight to me. For many years I hiked with a chair kit on my Thermarest. It was a cushioned place to sit but you ultimately were still sitting on the ground.
Alite went out of business a couple years ago but I really like the design of my chair. It has flat bars that touch the ground vs. poles that could sink in. Also due to this design it is still stable if you enjoy rocking it back on the rear support like I do. It is low to the ground, my legs lay out not down, but I've found that makes it comfy while tending to the stove and talking with unfortunate others who are without a chair and sitting on the ground.
Looking now it appears the hammock company Grand Trunk bought Alite's designs and is now making them. Neat! Here is the Mayfly, hopefully the quality is the same as my old one:
