Camping chairs as into keep in a caravan, not weight weenie climbing levitation jobbies.
The last set looked good initially, but fell to pieces over a couple of seasons.
Not too concerned about price as long as they are good.
I need something sturdy and comfy to sit in.
What you got?
Edit - the last set were eurohike moon chairs from blacks/millets.
I've had several other the years, but this is my current chair: http://www.coleman.eu/UK/p-23479-deck-chair-with-table-khaki.aspx although I have it in a different colour scheme, cup/beer holder in the fold out table, pockets for important things a bottle opener lives in mine.
I can happily sit in it for hours when camping and it's robust, I'm a heavy chap and it stands up to the task very well.
Not as cheap as sum but the extra money seems to be worth it as it is standing up to the use without breaking.
I use my fishing chairs when camping, very hard wearing and comfy! Spend a little extra and get the recliner types, just not the large bedchairs!
Money no object and want relaxing comfort...

Money no object and want sturdy, small pack size, and great for eating at a table, then,
After a decade of travelling overland with groups, these are the only 2 chairs I see take any sort of abuse and last more than a couple of years
Thanks guys.
I see decathlon do some too. I may have a wander down there for a gander.
Bought some Outwell chairs 8 years ago, had 7 hard camping seasons and 1 is still pretty much perfect 1 is looking a bit tatty but still totally useable. Model looks exactly like the "[url= http://www.outwell.com/en/Products/Furniture.aspx ]Black Hills...[/url]" but not sure if it is exactly the same. On the basis that it is I would buy again on the caveat that they're not the most space efficient camping chairs out there. I think comfort and pack size are probably inversely proportional.
Fishing chairs are far better than any camping chair I've ever sat in.
They're more comfortable and last a lot longer too, I've had the same chair for over ten years now and I still use it.
There are several different makes including Fox, Nash ,JRC and Chub. Most of them will recline and have adjustable legs for uneven ground

We have a couple of these from go outdoors , we spent the first few years of camping on cheap 2 for £12 chairs that fell to bits quickly and we're glad we splashed out on these. They take up loads of room in the back of the car but that won't be a problem if you're keeping them in a caravan.
