I'm over 400 lbs and this chair is very sturdy. Very heavy and durable. I've only been using it for a week, I'll update if anything goes south. I'm also 5'10" and at the highest setting is too tall for me!! It doesn't have a lot of cushion, so if u are looking for a plush chair .. this is not it.

Absolutely LOVE this chair! Had a few doubts that it would be this good, but they are gone, this chair is what it says it is and more! Very sturdy, roomy, nice fabric, rolls nicely, good lumbar support. I am thrilled that I chose this chair, I think you will be too!

The chair is not design to rock or recline, it is a heavily made chair and is made for people with wide posterities. The wheel base is metal and of heavy construction. The overall weight of the chair is what has surprised me the most. You will have to put the chair together, but everything you need is in the box. For the money this is a chair that will fit most large framed people and will hold up.

I had searched high and low for a chair that was designed especially for big people, and realized that they came at great cost..... Actually up to a $1000 and more. This chair was actually about 15% of that, and amazingly well built! In fact, when the delivery guy brought it to the door, he could hardly carry it!! There was some assembly required, but it was very simple. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a chair that holds someone 400 plus lbs. with no problem, this is the one!

We ordered 4 of these chairs for our office. As of the writing of this review, we have been using them for almost 8 months with no issues. I like that they are heavy duty. Made well/sturdy. Have plenty of room and are comfortable. Great for people who are tall or that weight over 200 lbs.

I just assembled the chair last night. So far, so good! I'm a big guy, 6' 6.5", 335 LB. In it's highest setting, my feet barely touch the ground (a good thing). The rating on the chair is 450 LB, the seat padding is pretty firm. The back does NOT tilt WRT the seat, so if you were looking for a recliner, keep looking. The whole seat does recline, but you have to pull the single lever OUT away from the seat to unlock the tilt. Guess that has confused some reviewers. I have killed several chairs over the years, so far it seems solid. I am using it on hardwood floors at home, the rollers do not seem to be hurting the wood. A note on assembly - yes, the directions are IKIA style, pretty short, all pictures. The parts are well packaged, I especially liked the fasteners packaging. The screws all had blue lock-tite on them, this is good. Pay attention to the ID of the screws in the pictures and on the parts card, it helps to use the right screw in the correct hole. When you are assembling it, position the cushion on another chair or a stool upside down. Position the part you are assembling on the cushion and install the fasteners FINGER TIGHT in ALL the holes required for that part, getting them started at least a couple of turns. Then, use the supplied hex wrench to evenly tighten all the fasteners, I recommend tightening each screw until it ALMOST touches, then use a pattern of tightening where you tighten each screw about one turn, then move to the screw opposite it, like you are supposed to tighten lug nuts on a car (for 5 bolts numbered like a clock it would be 1, 3, 2, 5, 4 and repeat). Tighten firmly, then move on to the next part. When you tighten the screws attaching the tilt/swivel base to the seat bottom, look and make sure you can put the seat back screws THRU that plate and into the seat bottom. That was the only assembly issue I found, one hole in the seat bottom was right at the edge of the tilt/swivel base hole, I had to push the swivel base to one side to get clearance, making starting the screw that holds the back on hard. All the assembly went well until you get to putting the seat back on the seat (last assembly). With the seat face down on the support, tilt the back and put in the 2 screws nearest the center of the chair, Then put the back against a solid vertical wall, push the seat cushion down and toward the back with your knee, pivoting the seat around the first 2 screws you started, and start the other two screws. Tighten the last 2 until they are touching the seat bracket, then use them to pull the back into position (the bracket flush to the seat). After the outer screws are snug, snug the 2 closest to the center and tighten all 4. That was the toughest part of the assembly. Good luck, if I have any problems later I will resubmit my review.

I bought this chair 2 years ago and loved it, heavy duty and comfortable till it broke. Called the 800 # on the bottom of the seat and talked with the best customer service dept. of any company I have ever dealt with, 40 hours later I had a new chair setting on my porch when I was just expecting the part to fix my old one.

I bought this chair about a month ago and had it shipped to my house. Got here the next day and didn't even pay for over-night shipping. The chair was somewhat easy to put together, didn't need a hand. I'm a bigger guy and I can sit in the chair comfortably and still have the arms attached. I like how it has the option to remove the arms without metal pieces poking your thighs. Overall, great chair and a decent price. It's very comfy and well-made. All of the other chairs I looked around at for bigger people are extremely expensive, so this find was perfect. I recommend it for any hefty person looking for a new computer chair if you sit at your desk many hours of the day.

An excellent chair and tremendous value. Easily meets expectations. Assembling the chair, while simple, was somewhat cumbersome in that the pieces are so heavy, and it could use better instructions. But if you're a big person, this chair is awesome! It rolls easily on my carpet. Similar chairs cost hundreds more. Highly recommend!

Just assembled chair and it looks great. Definitely big and tall design. Important: the base is welded steel not plastic, it is very substantial!
