I'm 250lbs, will I destroy this chair or is there some leeway? The "Big Guy" version maxes at 300lbs, but doesn't have all the same features.

You may be too wide for it. The seat is very sturdy but depending on your shape the width and depth may not be satisfactory.

The good (for you) and bad news about this chair is that it weighs 8 pounds. It is not thin aluminum, therefore feels very sturdy. The down side is it's a little heavy. My wife and I bought two of these chairs. We carried them around Bonnaroo for four days and we're happy with them.

My husband was about that weight when we bought it for him. Works fine ..... the chair has become invaluable. Hope this helps.

I am 6'3 and weigh over 300 lbs. I have used this chair daily for over 6 months now, and have not had any issues. I really like this chair and find it very comfortable.

Do you have any chairs you would recommend for a heavier person? I'm not sure 250 will work.

Please don't hold me to this, but I think I read somewhere a 300 lb max. I would check with the manufacturer to be certain.

I have used it for up to 250 lbs successfully. Very solid chair but does have a large footprint. Make sure it will fit your space requirements.

I'm the only one who has used the chair (I'm 130lbs) but I don't think the chair would be equipped for that. Hope that helps.

We have some of these and we have people who are 250lbs and they can sit on it. It will go down a little when you sit on from the hydraulic. Just don't tip over and drop the chair on the ground. The seat tops are hollow and may crack. It happened to us already. Not the best built but pretty good for the price.

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.

The manual says max 300 lbs for a person, 100 lbs for weights. I don't know why they don't just say 400 lbs is the max.

I am 5'3" and 130lbs. The chair was comfortable for me. I cannot speak to it being comfortable for anyone larger than me. Best bet is to contact the Seller and ask. Sorry I couldn't help.

I'm a little over 200 pounds. I've had no issues with the chair being able to support my weight, either up right or leaning back, and I've had this chair for a few years now. I imagine a larger person might have problems with the seat size but for me, a 5 foot 9 inch 200 pound guy, it works. The only problem I've ever had with this chair is the allen head screws get loose over time and you have to be re-tightened periodically. If you put Teflon tape on the threads before you screw them in it resolves that issue.

I AM 6'4" big and tall over 300lbs. i use this chair for at least 8 hours a day (more like 12) i have had no problem at all.

The general rule is if you can fit in the chair it is okay. I would not go over 300 lbsBruce

When i was purchasing this i could not find a published weight limit at all so i took a swing since it was so cheap and see what happened, im a big guy at just under 300 lbs and it worked great for me so if you less than that then it should work great :)
