I’m 5’9”, about 175. These chairs are snug at the hips, but not uncomfortable for me. Likely, if a person is 300 pounds (the weight capacity of his chair), then they would not be able to fit. I love the look of these chairs, and have gotten compliments on both the look and the comfort. I bought them as an open box purchase, and I am overall satisfied. I paired these chairs with the Mclaughlin solid wood table by George Oliver. These chairs will not slide in all the way at the ends, but that was expected.￼￼
