If the width of the seat is 19" wide, how can a 250 lb. person fit into the chair? Most 250 persons would greatly overlap the sides and be uncomforta

If you take a look at the seat and arm rests, you will see that there are no sides to have to squeeze between. The arm rests fold around. While we purchased this for a person in the household who is less than half that weight, I have loaned it to someone that size and it was successful. If your person is likely to get larger, regular wheelchairs tend to go to 250lbs. You might want to look for the next size up. You should also know that the height of this chair could make legs uncomfortable if the patient is tall. It is designed for ease of transport ... and is more comfortable for that than our fullsize wheelchair according to my mother because of the fabric on the seat.

Our armchair is 32" wide, and this cover fits with some room to spare, but from seam to seam at the arms it looks like it wouldn't fit your 39" wide chair. You might want to ask the company.

I think it is 300lb but I think the seat would not be big enough to be comfortable for a person much over 200lb. The seat is on the small side. It may be difficult to wipe your bottom. It was fine for near 200lb. I am still happy with my purchase.

The width is about 20". If I were you, I would pick another chair. The chair is not at all comfortable, because the design of the chair tends to allow one to slid way forward while sitting. This situation is very hard on ones back, because one can not get any back support. I am sorry that I purchased this chair, once it is replaced; it is destined for the trash heap.

The chair is 19 inches wide (area you sit in) and the back is 29 inches high. I am 5'7" and weigh 180 and I have room in it. I love this chair! Hope my info helps

235lbs is no problem, but chair will be uncomfortable for 6ft + person. Low seat height, narrow depth, & width mean ample support is lacking.

The weight limit is 250 Lbs. - so you could fit two people although it might not be too comfortable.

When I place the back of the chair against the wall and measure from the wall to the front of the seat I get 22". The depth of the chair & seat don not seem disproportionate. However, the width of the chair seat (19") seems excessively broad to me. But the chair is comfortable and the design is evocative of Second Empire meets Biedermeier. I like mine.

The best way is to sit on a tape measure, being sure the beginning end is just barely visible as you sit. Then look at the other end; if it is wider than 17 inches, go for the larger chair.

Great question. How much does the person weigh? If it is someone who is morbidly obese like 400 pounds, I would question whether it could take the stress. But I know somebody 200 pounds has absolutely no problem sitting on it. Have you contacted the manufacturer to ask?

weight limit 250 but 325lb no problem and no noticeable performance issues.width between arm rest 20'' +. would not recommend for wide heavy-weight (400lb x 24'' butt), but have used chair over 2yr trouble free.kids play on it family members sleep on it and it still looks new

The seat itself is just over 22 inches wide. The setting I have for the area between the arm rests is slightly wider.

The bearing is always the weakest point on this type of chair the bearing appear to be rated at 400lbs at center point, the seat area is 16" wide x 16' deep. the issue a large individual has is getting onto the chair this is bar stool height of 32" ,unless they are over 6' tall

I think the bigger problem would be fitting in the chair it's pretty narrow. I weigh about 200lbs and I have sat on it several times.
