My family members are all between 200 & 300 pds and at least 6' tall.  This chair fits perfectly and is very comfortable.  It is a sturdy chair.  Like that it swivels and wanted the arms on it for the most comfort in sitting.  I did not anticipate that at the bar it would need more room for people getting in and out when it has arms on it.  I can work around it - but it is something to think about - the arms make them need more space between them for getting in and out.  A little challenging to put together, but just keep following the directions step by step.  A good purchase.  I bought 2 for a small bar.
