This chair is amazing. I weighed 240 pounds and my husband weighed 300 and we had no problem sitting on this chair. It's small but strong. I have had it for about 3 years and it is still clean, looks new. It was so easy to put together. I love this chair more than all the chairs I have ever owned. I was looking for a stool by the same maker. I have other expensive chairs and this stool- chair is worth more than I paid for it.
