Chairs. Damn camping chairs.

I'm tired of camping chairs I can't get out of, chairs that cut off the circulation in my legs or can't sit comfortably around a table!

What do you use?

I just ordered these - Prime Day deal. I'll send them back if they don't work or you folks come up with a better solution! Prime Day deal saves $35.00

What a great title for this thread! So, we have gone through the same issues for good, folding camp chairs. My wife found (on Amazon.ca) the greatest chairs, and they rock...really, as in back and forth.

Mine (I am almost 6 ft tall and 220 lbs) is the GCI OUTDOORS ROADTRIP ROCKER.

My wife is 5 ft and ummm, half my weight...(subtle, eh. For me anyways). She ordered herself a GCI OUTDOORS KICKBACK ROCKER as she can't ever find a chair for her size. These both fit us like no other chair we have tried.

Can't say enough how sturdy they are and stable with solid arms to help getting up with bad knees etc. They were just over $100.00 CAD each, so less down in the US of A.

The director's chairs are very comfortable.  We've also given up on the old bucket chairs.  

Here is what we got - not as fancy for sure, but way cheaper.  250-lb limit though, if that's an issue.

These are the chairs we have, and they are wonderful. We originally bought a couple from OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware), and when they went out of business, we got this, which is a very, very close replica through Amazon.

I just bought one like GG is showing. It's ok, but I'm still looking for better. I'm going to try this one out, though I am going into it with a guarded opinion.

All great suggestions!!

The thing that drew me to the KingCamp chair was it seems to fold down a little smaller than most director style chairs. That HF chair looks like a bargain and I like the aluminum vs. steel. I'm afraid of the rockers and the swing chairs. I'm told I snore rather loudly and they may present a campground problem for me. We'll see this weekend if I think the KingCamp is worth keeping.

I am sending this one back. Super comfortable and I like the remote and massage. Problem is, I just can't seem to figure out how to get it back in the bag!! Wacko

If it can lay flat this type of folding chair is more sturdy than the collapsible type.
