Is this a good chair for a heavyset person?

It sure is. I have family members who are heavy set who choose to sit in this chair over our leather sofa's all the time. It's also a good chair for for sewing in. I love it.

I guess it would depend on how heavy. My Dad is around 300 and when he visit my house he sits in them, however he likes his recliner better. Our whole family uses them but we are all under 200. We love them.

Bought it for my son who is tall and heavy. it has been the been best chair that he has ever had and the longest lasting. I can only assume that it would be fine for someone short and heavy. I am short but not heavy for my height and have sat is the chair and find it quite comfortable.

This seat is not for a BIG guy, it just won't take the considerable abuse it will get. you might look into a seat made just for such a person.

I am 6', 185 lbs and this chair is perfect for me. Very solid and we'll made.

I'm about 5'8'' and 285 lbs. and have no concerns about the chairs strength. It seems very solid. However, because of the seat's forward tilt, I always feel that I'm fighting its efforts to slide me off. Also, I found the lumbar support piece to be very uncomfortable for my particularly bent back and it exacerbated the 'sliding off' feeling. Removing the support brace helped somewhat. For me, the seat should tilt back more and extend forward more.

It is very subtle. Nice looking chair. If you are heavier than 180 it will start seeking terribly however. I weigh 200 and it was not good for me.

Hello Phillip: I am 300 pounds unfortunately, and it is still a great task chair for me. It holds me up well and it is very comfortable for that small of the back that gets tensed up when sitting too long. I use it at home and have to toss my cat out of it in order to get my turn. I think that I can hold more than my weight. The seat bottom still has room for me. I hope this helps....

I believe this chair is very stable. the base folds out pretty wide for good stability so I would say it would work well for you. It just doesn't fold up as compact as other high chairs but it is built well.

The chair itself is very solid, but the casters are not. We have had to replace all of the casters on the chair with more heavy-duty casters because they all broke within a couple months. The chair is being used by an average-sized woman, so I feel certain that the casters would break with a big guy.

I'm 270 pounds and the chair seems to hold me fine. I'd bet it would do okay up to a 300 pound person, but don't go flopping down in to it too hard. The leg extension is not that strong. It will hold my legs, but it's a bit short so I don't use it often (besides I use the chair as a desk chair so it doesn't make much sense). After a couple of years with the chair, I've noticed the padding has compressed a bit, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. I still log a LOT of hours in this thing. Pretty decent chair. Especially for the money.

I got it for my son who is about 155 lbs and I weigh about 230, so I know it can handle that much. I hope this is in your range. My son loves the chair and is always raving about it even though it is a piece of furniture.

it's not a very large chair. More of a medium. It should support a larger man no issue just may not be overly comfortable. And every bit of help in lifting is beneficial.

I weigh 170 and use this chair daily. There are several of my family members that are over 200 lbs. that use it occasionally and it has held up fine.

Absolutely! This chair will be perfect for you. I am 28 113lbs and this chair has been a life saver for me. It's light, small, and extremely easy to get around. I would highly recommend it.

Hi Lucas, The chair is very sturdy, however, I don't think that it will be comfortable for a man of that size.

This chair is great for a person 260, I weigh over 300. The chair is rated to 400lbs., the tilt can be adjusted, as can the seat height, and the headrest is right on time.
