Interstuhl "Fit Chair" knockoffs?

My kids are in love with the Interstuhl Fit Chair which, as far as I can find, costs roughly one bazillion dollars. Has anyone seen a more reasonably priced version?
Yes, I know knockoffs are evil; let's presume I feel bad about this and move on. I live near Seattle and would rather buy this in person, but am willing to shop on-line if needed.

Came in because I thought of that very same waffle chair from Target! There is also a bungee chair based on the same idea.

I thought of this http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10239652/. Still not a dupe of what you linked to, but you could get it in person.

The Ikea Locksta has the stretchy fabric over a metal frame thing going on but looks more like a traditional chair.

I just saw a few chairs at REI that might fit the bill.

Jane is probably referring to the Alite chairs that come in gotta-balance and four-legged versions. They are quite comfy but designed to be light rather than durable.

FYI, the Fit chair doesn't hold up to a ton of abuse. I know this from professional experience. Be warned against buying a knockoff and winding up with a saggy, snagged and dirty chair in short order.
That said, your kid may be kinder to furniture than the public situation I put it in.
