I have got a Kampa Extravagance chair, but to be honest after a seasons wear of around 6 weeks awning use its starting to fall apart. The problem is the rivets on the jointing pins are all starting to pop their end caps off, resulting in us having to buy a set of nuts and bolts to hold the hinged joints in place, but now the metal around these looks soft as though its being worn away by the harder metal of the bolts. I lost the original reciept and bought it online from a campshop over 200 miles from my home in Newquay, so its not really possible to return it.
They are HUGE even when folded, and certainly not for someone who was planning to keep them in a standard underbed storage compartment, more suited to a conservatory or patio at home, unless you happen to have a transit van for shifting all your camping gear, or maybe a large garage on a motorhome!

Yes, they both look good. But, my husband is a bit of a tightwad, so I'm sure he'd rather have the President. LOL
I would advise you not to buy this. All these chairs come out of the same factory (different brand names)and have slightly more or less fabric but, and this is the big but, they all have the same aliminium cross legged support with plastic blocks. Look on Google, you'll see hundreds of them, all the same, just different levels of cloth and trim, drink holders etc.
Now, I'm not a fatty, but I'm 6'2" and built like a prop forward and weigh 17 stone. I regularly brak these chairs, the black plastic blocks holding the joints just give way. The chairs are only rated at about 15-16 stone, whatever quality the fabric is made of.
Yes, I'll admit I did kill one chair after a few drinks after I tripped over the lip of the Monty 6 entrance and promptly flattened the chair, but I've also had chairs that I've looked after well, but the plastic blocks still just give way.
I'd get a different chair, or just but a cheap version
<£10 and accept that it's a one season chair.

. Just to add, they are big chairs - therefore heavy if you have to consider packing issues
