The walmart version is great. I have had them for about three years. I use them year round and love them.

LaFuma-great, and I believe that through their web site, they have replacement cord, cushion, etc should you need to refurbish after a few years of use. We've had LaFuma as well as the box store versions. I love LaFuma. That plastic-y woven fabric on so many of the knock off brands now really does not wear well if used often. Try to get a markdown price. We got ours several years ago at Cabela on sale. After a long day's drive and tow, a tall cool drink and a LaFuma...Ahhhhhhhhh ~G

Here is the one I was talking about, and it is under $50. But dont let the price fool you, these are substantial chairs, and comfy.

We have a pair of laFuma chairs that we bought at the Airstream Factory store a few years ago - they are the best chairs ever. It is IMPOSSIBLE to sit in them in the fully reclined position and stay awake!
They are pricey, but WELL constructed and extremely comfortable.

Cabela's has some aluminum rockers that fold. They are also heavy duty but real light weight. Color is black.

Our two favorites:

COLEMAN CHAIR AT BASS PRO SHOP - good lower back support.

This next one is called the Sphere Chair, also at Bass Pro Shop.
Couldn't find it online, but we've seen it at their stores. For a cold breezy night in front of the fire, its great - turn the back to the wind, and its a perfect wind block. Folds up very compact into its own carry case.

We carry a pair of each with us.

We bought some Telescope Casual folding chairs. Very good quality, very comfortable for reading as well as sitting at a table, plus very nice looking (there's a good selection of fabrics).

we use smaller folding "camp" chairs for around rally campfires since
they are lighter and easily moved nearer or farther from the flames.

but for at the trailer site we use 2 of these:

they are multi-postional and locking; and have detachable beverage holders. they are tall and long enough to support your head and feet.

they come in "regular" and "wide" widths. get the "wide" even if you don't think you need it - it gives a nice amount of extra space and really offers more comfort. even comforatable enough for a nap.

these are NOT light, but they do fold flat for transport.

we would not go anywhere without them!

We opted for these recliners by Kelty
They recline, lock, breathe well, clean easy & have cup holders + bottle openers.

My favorite is the first one above. My dogs favorite is the 2nd one. She loves to curl up in under a blanket by the fire. Nice and toasty!
