This chair has a nice cushion and is good and wide for the more sizable tush.  I bought this chair with thatbin mind and making sure I didnt come close to reaching the max weight capacity.    After only 6 months, the hydraulic started to fall.  I would put the chair back up and it would last for a bit and down it would go.  Now, after 8 months, the hydraulic will not stay up at all.  This is very disappointing.
