For those that are heavy set...like 250lbs or more....how is this chair? I'm 6'3" 250 and looking for a chair with a good seat that won't hurt my ass!

I am 2" less - but weigh close to the same - after several months, chair has been great - plenty of cushion and the front edge rolls down - doesn't create the pressure on the back side of the legs. It's sits about 2" higher than most - also nice as found many great chairs that seemed too short. The chair is solid - its heavier than most and assembles simply. Mine gets 8-10 hours of use per day - only wish I had found it sooner as I spent a lot more on the prior chair - it didn't last 3-years before the pot metal gave way. I know how frustrating it can be to find a good chair - good luck in your search.

I am 6'5" 260lbs. I think the chair is actually very comfortable. I've had a good amount of time with it, and I do consulting work on the side so I am sitting down for large amounts of time, at a time and I think the chair is very comfortable. If you have any more questions please ask I'd be happy to give you more information.

Hi John, I concur with the previous answer to this question. I'm a large man - 200+ lbs. As I've said in an earlier review I've basically had to "re-build" the hardware on the chair - lift, wheels, etc. All that started with the wheels going kaput! I still have it, but only because I re-worked it! If I had it to do over, I wouldn't buy this chair for myself...

400 lb. I bought this chair (and I'm sitting on it right now) because I wanted a heavy duty chair with a little extra height. Well...the seat is standard height and I wish the seat were a couple inches higher. Good sturdy chair. It will last a LOT longer then the Office Max chairs I've purchased over the years. Hope this helps.

I bought this chair for my son.He is a big guy. I needed a chair he could fit in and not break. He seems to be enjoying the chair alot in Hawaii. He has used it for awhile now with no problems. I hope this helps.

This is a very wide chair, however I do not know if it is rated for that kind of weight. Also I am not sure it would be comfortable for someone of that size. I weigh 330 pds and I would not want to sit in that chair for any length of time. The seat is narrow once you sit in it and the canvas seat contracts from the weight. I was recently in the hospital and they have chairs for heavy set people. I might try to ask your local hospital or your health insurance if they can help point you to a vendor. Another option is a used jazzy chair I bought one and it fits fine and you don,t have to push.

I've owned it for 6 months and weigh roughly 300 lbs. You can definitely see it is a little pushed down towards the back now, but the chair itself has held up well. It does sometimes creak a little when getting in or out, but nothing seems to have broken. The heavier you are the harder it will probably be to keep the chair in one position though - you might find yourself constantly tightening the knob on the side, as I do.

I weigh one hundred pounds. Other family members have used the chair, but none of them are overweight. I would not rely on this chair for someone over 175#. Just a guess. The chair is sturdy, but not hefty. Depends on the user. It is in the family room. No problems.

To me it has a comfortable, solid feel but it is not feather-light. I'm six foot tall and weigh 200 lbs. My 5'-4" wife thinks it is a little heavy for her. I still love it.

I am 6 foot 5 tall and weigh 280. After assembling a chair and love seat, I subjected them to my considerable bulk in a "drop and flop". Solid as a rock with just enough give in the backrest to be comfortable.

I was at 250 when I first bought this chair and it's very sturdy and roomy. I am probably going to by a pad to put on the seat just because I like it a little more cushy...but it's a good chair.

I would say 175-200 lbs I'm about 175 and it was fine. It might take more weight. Great chair.

When I bought it I think it was 250, I was happy when I bought this chair for my husband, only a year later it came apart!, my husband weights 220 lb, so you may want to consider other options, I will not recommend this chair to anybody!

I'm well over 200 lbs.. This is a really comfortable chair. It's the first chair that has really fit me; I don't hang over both ends while I take my nap. I can't imagine that being it's built for plenty of room, width and length, that weight limit might be a problem. This chair is warranted.

The chair is very sturdy. My husband is 6'4" and over 200 lbs. He has no issues with it whatsoever. In fact, he wants to order 2 more. They are great chairs. Good quality at a reasonable price.

I'm 6' 2", 200lbs, and it seems quite sturdy to me, however, I have seen chairs fail at the 300lb range after a fewmonths. After looking at it as I sit in it, I don't think I would recommend it for that weight class. The castors maybe too light duty for that. Also, I think the armrests will be far too narrow for you. I have 2" inches on eachside between the armrests and my thighs and I am a slender man.
