I've had an Octbox for maybe 6 years, and there's a lot to be said, imo, for the stripped down stool + two drawer D25 configuration I mostly use. But along the way I've thrown away a side-tray which on its own weighs almost as much as the frame, legs and shallow fibreglass base on my Boss compact box, and jettisoned a good few other clunky ancillaries. I made a back rest for my Boss box that involves two pieces and one fixing point. Have a look at the weighty scaffolding for the Octbox back rest; W Heath Robinson would take his hat off to it.

Btw, I bought the impressive-looking Octbox feeder arm. Fix it to the leg of a 2 drawer compact version, itself no lightweight, and your box will topple forward under its weight if you stand up. A good box, but add-ons are massively over-engineered.
