I got the light gray recliner and it is beautiful. The seat cushion is super supportive in terms of you don't squish down in to the chair when you sit in it. It is great support for my back. I don't think I would recommend anyone over 225 pounds to sit in it. It's not a fragile chair per say, but the recline mechanism was a little wobbly when my husband sat in the chair. I just don't think the chair was built for someone over 225, meaning it is not a poor quality chair but may have its weight limit.
