I thought this chair was a good value, but I was depressed when I opened it and discovered the max weight it supported was 200# (this was not mentioned anywhere in the description I read before purchase). I did not have high hopes since I am 6'3" and 250#. However, after seeing how well this chair is constructed and using it for a week, I'm very impressed, and would buy another if I happen to "wear it out". I believe it will last me for a long time though, as long as I don't abuse it.
